Testimonial for Dena Gold, MSAc, MSCH, LAc, LMT, CD, CLC, SpBAP
We were so fortunate to have Dena as our doula during our perinatal journey. Her extensive knowledge of childbirth and newborn care, combined with her background in Chinese Medicine and Massage, made us confident in our decision to have her by our side. Dena made every effort to support us in every way possible, including multiple home visits leading up to and after the birth of our daughter. She worked with my husband to give him the confidence and skills he needed to help comfort me during labor.
In fact, our labor ended up being a precipitous 3-hour birth, leaving no time to get to the hospital or to our provider. Dena arrived quickly and evaluated the situation, instructing my husband to call the paramedics. When they arrived, Dena advocated for my needs and wishes, even though the emergency workers had a different agenda. She rode in the ambulance with us to the hospital and remained with us until we were settled in.
Since the birth, Dena has been in constant contact with us and has gone above and beyond to help us transition into parenthood. Her postpartum visits brought great comfort to my husband and me as we struggled to figure out how to feed our baby girl. Dena has a great sense for what is needed in any given moment - she knows when to speak up, when to nurture, and when to be invisible. Finding the right doula was a very difficult journey for me...Dena was so incredibly patient throughout that time. It is so clear that I made the right choice!! We will forever be grateful to have had Dena as our doula!!!
