Testimonial for Heather Segal
After having a diffiult time postpartum with my first child, I was looking for a birth and pospartum doula when preparing to have my second. To get ready for the birth we met with Heather ahead of time and talked through all the possible scenarios, what medical interventions I would be comfrotable having, and what aftercare would look like. She put together a document summarizing all these details so that we could easily share it with our medical team. Coincidentally my baby was born in the two hour window when Heather was unavailable but she was in concatct with me virtually and she quickly arranged to have another doula cover at the hospital. The whole time I felt appropriately cared for by Heather, despite the poor timing.
Postpartum, Heather was fantastic. She was supportive of the decisions we made around the care of our baby and was able to provide ideas based on her wealth of experience as a doula, educator, and mother. We utilized her both during the day and for night time visists and I always felt comfortable when she was taking point with childcare allowing us to catch up on much needed sleep. Heather was an essential part of our childcare village and I can't thank her enough for the support she provided to my family.
