Testimonial for Patrycja (Patty) Drozd CD(DONA)
I can't believe that it has taken me so long to write a review for Patty because I truly believe that having her at my birth was one of the best decisions I have made.
I immediately felt comfortable with Patty. She is friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to understand what we wanted. She shared helpful information on ways to prepare mentally and physically for birth and was wonderful with my husband who was much more anxious about the birthing process.
Prior to my birth, she helped us with our birth plan. Letting us know topics to think about and providing evidence on each. I loved that she was nonjudgmental and never pushed anything on us.
When I went into labor, Patty came to my house and was an amazing support for me and my husband. She gave suggestions to help me feel more comfortable and subtully helped my husband know how to best support me while being there by our side every step of the way.
I felt so much more confident knowing that I had someone with me who was knowledgeable about birth. I knew that Patty wouldn't let me wait too long to go to the hosiptal and that I was safe. She coached me on the changes to expect as my labor progressed and this information made me feel so in control and confident.
Once we got to the hospital, Patty helped to make the room feel more like home. She worked with the nurses to make sure that I had everything I needed and most importantly took turns with my husband to use counter pressure to help me through my contractions.
I honestly could not have wished for a better birth experience and Patty was such a huge part of it!
On top of all of this, Patty took the most amazing photos of my labor and my son's first few hours. These photos make us cry every time we look at them and we are so greatful that she captured these memories.
I could not recommend Patty more!
