Testimonial for Relief Doula Agency
Without a doubt, Relief Doula Agency is the best resource of support one could use in their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. We were fortunate to be paired with Alyssa as our birth doula and her knowledge she shared during our birth education classes was unmatched. When the time finally comes, there is only so much you can remember from classes and having her present for my labor and delivery alleviated so much of that stress, both mentally and physically. As amazing as my nurses were in the hospital, having the constant presence of a birth doula who has come to know you and your priorities throughout your pregnancy is a gift in and of itself. I know my husband felt more at ease as he was able to participate in the process without feeling overwhelmed by what to do next. He had dismissed the idea of a doula earlier on not really knowing what the profession was. Since the birth of our son, he has commented multiple times what a difference she made and is now such an advocate of the role of a birth doula. Alyssa guided us perfectly through our birth journey and we are so glad we can look back at those moments being thankful that she was there.
For postpartum care, Madison has been immensely helpful. She is a wealth of organization and information and is far beyond her years in her knowledge of the postpartum/ newborn period. As new parents with a million questions, she is such a calming presence and had the answers we needed. It’s not easy leaving your newborn in the care of another person, but anyone who has worked with Madison will see why she’s an obvious choice.
We also took the advice of attending a Spinning Babies class and a few visits with a certified lactation counselor. Whether you are looking for yourself or for a partner or friend, the most needed “baby item” isn’t from a store- it’s the gift of knowledge, preparedness, and emotional and physical support from this AMAZING group of doulas!
