Testimonial for Carolyn Ericson
My husband and I could not be more happy that we chose District Doulas to support our birth, including preparations and planning. Jackie, Michelle, and Carolyn's professional expertise and calming positivity helped us feel confident and ready both for creating a birth plan we felt good about and a decision making framework for if/when things went differently from what we planned. They made us feel at ease from our first meeting and the schedule of childbirth preparation workshops they offered meant we felt comfortable with each of them in advance of birth day. They were responsive over text, phone call, for questions big and small both leading up to the birth and after we brought our baby home.
Carolyn was the team member who supported us in person during the birth. When my labor became complicated and went differently than I expected in a few ways, she helped me cope with labor at home and got me to a place where I could feel clear about the decision to go to the hospital. Then, she stayed with us in the hospital until we were all stable, supporting us as we navigated overwhelming feelings and decisions including big deviations from the birth I imagined.
I highly recommend Carolyn and District Doulas to anyone looking to be supported through childbirth, including learning more about birth and the different ways it can look, becoming educated about different forms of interventions, and figuring out how to articulate their priorities and values around their care.
