Testimonial for Hunter Moore, CD, CLC, CBE
Hunter is an amazing doula! Navigating a COVID pregnancy was at times very stressful, so my wife and I were always grateful for Hunter and her gentle and caring conversations. During my pregnancy we experienced the tragic loss of our nephews, twin boys at 38 weeks gestation. This drastically changed our approach to pregnancy, labor and postpartum care. Hunter came to us during this time and offered constant reassurance and kindness. This was perhaps the most tender time in our entire lives, and Hunter was truly a bright beacon of hope. She was always available to answer random pregnancy questions and offer encouragement whenever our confidence wavered.
After a few weeks of daytime contractions, one night became ‘the night.’ Hunter drove to us in the wee hours amid a little snow flurry. She guided me through escalating contractions and directed my partner in how to best support and maintain a peaceful environment. Having Hunter allowed us both to stay present in the moment and not have to worry about the symptoms of various labor stages or timing contractions. She is experienced and calm, I trusted her in the most complete way.
At the hospital Hunter set the vibe in the birthing room, getting the tub ready and setting up twinkle lights. There were several other birthing people that night, so Hunter advocated for us along the way to ensure that a nurse or midwife was present when we needed them. The long long night eventually ended and our baby boy was finally in our arms. Hunter stuck around for a bit as we were all a bit dazed and in a love bubble. She continued to check in during the first few weeks and made a home visit to touch base and see us all in person.
Hunter is just great! I would recommend her services to any birthing person and if we decide to grow our family again, I know that she will be one of our first calls.
