Testimonial for Carolyn Ericson
Carolyn came to the hospital for our birth and was a wonderful part of our birth team. She is warm and easygoing, so even though we hadn't been able to meet in person beforehand due to covid-19, it didn't feel like having a stranger in the room at all. She was a great pushing coach and helped us understand what was going on, offering information proactively throughout our experience. She worked well with the hospital staff and doctor, and they responded well to her presence.
We also greatly appreciated the postpartum visit, not only to talk through the birth experience to help us process it but also to give some in-person tips on breastfeeding. (It's been a steep learning curve!)
Carolyn treated us and our choices/preferences with respect and zero judgment, and we felt like we could ask her and the rest of the District Doulas anything, no matter how small or silly the question seemed.
As first-time parents, we can't understate how much we valued District Doulas' evidence-based approach to birth and postpartum, as well as the wealth of education and resources offered leading up to our birth. I highly recommend them to anyone, but especially those who approach/cope with the unknown by gathering as much information as possible.
