Testimonial for Heather Karlson (DONA)
Heather was asked by one of my midwives-in-training if she would be interested in attending my home birth and thankfully she said yes. It was just a few days later that and I went into labor earlier than expected! Heather arrived at our house at the perfect time. I was at the point in labor where I was starting to question my ability to handle the pain. She came right up to the edge of the birthing tub and asked me what I needed without hesitation. At that moment, all I needed was for someone to tell me that I was capable. I needed a caring touch. She was completely there for me and we had just met! Heather has that natural ability to be warm, nurturing and help break down a birthing mother's fears that could inhibit the progress of birth. It was a blessing that my 8-year-old daughter could be there and witness Heather, along with such a powerful team of midwives, bring a new life into the world in such a gentle way. (Not to mention, she took some amazing photos with our camera that will help preserve the memory). Thank you, heather, we will forever be grateful for your help as a Doula at our home birth!
