Testimonial for Charity Wheeler
I will be forever grateful I chose Charity as my birth doula, especially as a first time mom. I had questions and worries during pregnancy and about birth, but Charity was there to support and guide me every step of the way. She supported every decision I made while offering her knowledge and advice so that my husband and I could make informed choices.
Charity's expertise in birthing positions and comfort measures, as well as her overall support, had a huge impact on my birth experience.
During labor, Charity was always anticipating my needs and making sure both my husband and I were comfortable. Her counter pressure techniques and reminders to loosen my shoulders and jaw helped me get through each contraction. And let's not forget about my husband - Charity made sure he felt confident and equipped to support me. I can count on one hand the amount of times he ever left my side to fetch something for me. Charity was on it constantly so he could stay with me.
One of the things that was so happily unexpected to me was her capturing the special moments of my labor and birth. She took photos and videos that I will cherish for a lifetime. Those alone are truly priceless to me, and I will be forever grateful to her for them.
Charity has always been a short text away for questions and check-ins, and continues to be even after the birth, and her continued support has been truly invaluable. She even came over for a postpartum visit, and I was so happy to see her again and have her see my little boy that she was so pivotal in bringing into the world.
Charity quickly became someone very important to both my husband and me. The emotional impact of her support and care will always be a cherished memory.
Bottom line, if you're in the Richmond area and looking for a doula who will have your back every step of the way, look no further than Charity. I can't recommend her enough.
