Testimonial for Alyssa Sylvester
My husband and I both agree that hiring a doula during pregnancy was the best decision we made! We were first time parents, and our intention in hiring a doula was to have another person on our team who could help support both of us during delivery. In reality, Alyssa offered so much more than we could have ever imagined.
Alyssa was extremely personable and genuinely connected with my husband and me. She naturally became the vital liaison between the medical professionals and us. Throughout the entire process Alyssa informed us of all the choices available and reminded us that we were in charge. My husband and I were extremely impressed with her expertise and knowledge, especially regarding Spinning Babies techniques. The variety of positions and breathing cues she offered were tremendously helpful. Alyssa had a sense of calm that permeated the delivery room and set a peaceful ambiance. She held space and provided encouraging and empowering words of comfort throughout the delivery. Alyssa was an unwavering source of strength that helped shift my energy and allowed me to persist through grueling contractions. At the time of birth she took incredible photographs that captured the pure joy of the moment, which are priceless and we will cherish forever. Throughout delivery Alyssa was always dedicated to my care, responsive to my needs, and never left my side. I truly believe that I owe my positive birth experience to Alyssa. She offered care that went above and beyond what we had expected. Doulas are worth their weight in gold; they help you physically, mentally, and emotionally navigate prenatal, delivery, and postpartum. To anyone contemplating hiring Alyssa, do it - you will not regret it. Out of five stars, I would give her 10+!
