Testimonial for Candace Mensik, CD(DONA), SpBCPE, BRMpro
You will not regret having her on your side! We didn't find Candace until 2 weeks before my due date, and after the initial meeting with her, I was so excited instead of being fearful of the big day. She prepared us and answered all of our questions. She has the perfect qualities you would want in a doula. She is professional, gentle, strong, wise, and most importantly, she truly cares about every mama.
I went into the hospital and was panicking in pain while waiting for a labor room to be available. But the moment Candace showed up, her presence changed the room's atmosphere completely. She checked on me, offered options for the environment, for pain management, explained what I was going through, and was always supportive of my decisions. Believe it or not, the pain became so much more manageable. I was really lucky that everyone on the medical team, plus Candace, was cheering me on and encouraging me.
Many hours after the baby was born, I asked her when she needed to leave, and her answer really touched me. She said, "there's not a time she needs to leave, if there is, it's whenever I'm ready." I felt so loved and supported in every way. About a week postpartum, Candace came to our home for a follow-up where she answered many more questions, coached me on how to breastfeed, and offered many valuable resources. Candace is an awesome human being, I'd work with her again!
Thank you so very much, Candace!"
