Testimonial for Fiona Schubeck
Having Fiona as part of my labor and postpartum experience for my first child was incredible. I didn't fully appreciate how much I needed her calm and steady company until we were through the first hazy days with time to reflect! She was an instrumental support to me and my partner during our home birth, making sure we had food and water, that the birth tub was warm, that music was playing, that candles were lit, and that photos were taken. She was a hushed presence working tirelessly behind the scenes. When I was struggling, she offered new positions to try and supported me through them. However, Fiona is also attuned to getting out of the way and offered space for me to find my own inner strength and knowing throughout labor.
In postpartum, she served as a lactation consultant, staying late into the night to ensure we got a good latch. During this stressful process, she made me laugh over and over while both my babe and I were in tears of frustration. Fiona also made sure I was eating well, getting continued lactation support, and helped us to set healthy boundaries with family and friends. The echo of her support continued long after she created a blissful, new-baby bubble for us, an experience I am beyond grateful for.
