Testimonial for Alicia Power CD(DONA)
Worth every penny and then some!
Working with Alicia was the smartest expense we made when it came to giving birth. As the birthing parent, I felt held and cared for throughout the whole process. It felt like having an advocate, an educator, and a friend in the room. My husband and I felt like we were more prepared than most in our birthing classes, too, because of how much we learned from Alicia ahead of time.
Surprising no one, my “ideal birth plan” had to shift, but Alicia had gone over possible scenarios, so that I would know what I wanted if things needed to change. In the end, I labored for around 26 hours, and she helped me with positions to try to get baby to drop before and after the epidural, and helped me keep my confidence up with her support. When we ultimately had a C-section, she made sure the folks in the room gave me a play-by-play, helped me understand what was happening, took photos, and supported my husband, too.
TL;DR — Alicia focused on developing a real partnership with us, asked questions we didn’t know to ask, and made sure we went into the birth process feeling very prepared for a variety of outcomes. 100% recommend hiring a doula for your first birth especially, and 110% recommend Alicia.
