Testimonial for Heather Rogers BSc, BEd, CD(DONA), CLE, SBD, LCCE
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain" - Heather danced with us in the rain every step of our journey. The support and love my husband and I received from Heather was unimaginable. My birth wishes were respected and heard, and when my vision our our birth went out the window due to baby's position, Heather was the one to understand my disappointment and help us find ways to navigate the journey in a way more positive light than I could've seen on my own! We had a scheduled cesarean birth and we were able to have her in the delivery room, thanks to the decision by the medical staff. Heather became the calming safety blanket surrounding my husband and I in my deepest moments of panic. She was able to help ground us by reminding us of the love we share and the love we have for our miracle baby girl. With her on our team, it created the foundation for the confidence my husband had in him to come to the forefront and he felt empowered because she saw him in the moments he needed to be seen. She was his quiet rock so that he could be there for me, knowing that Heather was right there behind him. Heather helped us to laugh through the tears, cheer us on when we needed a pick me up, love on us through our fear and pain, and understood that there's a bigger story to birth than just what's happening in that moment. For us, our grief from previously losses was acknowledged and cared for in ways that I will always be grateful for. Heather stayed with us until we were settled back into our room and safe as a new little family of three. We say she's like a fairy godmother, there to set you up for greatness and then steps back to let you shine together, while being there to give her all to you in whatever way is needed most.
The memories she helped us create will stay with our family for a lifetime and if we our able to have another child, Heather will be our first call to have join us again!
