Testimonial for Donna Rigert

When it was time to look for a Doula I did a thorough search on who we wanted to help us through this amazing process. Since our due date was close to Christmas our first Doula had backed out because she didn’t want to miss Christmas with her family. We were very let down and dreaded having to go through the whole process again of finding another one. We found a few we wanted to interview and no one compared to Donna. Her energy was different from the others and even our first choice. She had a zest for learning new things and was open to everything and anything. Her kind heart had show right away and nothing scared her…not even the possibility of missing Christmas with her family. She had given us a wonderful gift on her interview and I knew right then she was the one. No one had that same spunk or personality that she did. As the day approached Donna was with me every single step of the way. Her high energy had helped us through the daunting contractions. She always had a joke to crack to help lift our spirits. She worked very well with my husband and taught him how to be supportive to me. She was a true joy to work with and when the time came to deliver our baby girl on Christmas Eve she stood by our side and slept the night. We knew she was a real trooper when she was ok with sleeping on a chair just to be there for us. We are truly grateful for our experience with Donna and her being so committed to us every step of the way. Nothing scared her and she was not worried about missing the holidays! She has a true heart for being a Doula and is a great partner for such a great experience.
