Testimonial for CJ Thorp
My first birth experience resulted in a c section because I had placenta previa. It was not ideal, but it was safe for my baby and I. This is my second birth and when I found out I didn't have previa and was a candidate for a TOLAC (trial of birth after cesarean), I immediately interviewed doulas. I chose CJ because she showed me that she was knowledgeable, sensitive to my needs, warm and friendly. She helped calm my anxiety about natural birth and prepare me for the experience by discussing my expectations and answering my questions. On the day of, she drove me to the hospital, supported my decisions, encouraged my spirit and reassured my gut when I felt an option was not right for me. She was instrumental in allowing me to have the vaginal birth that I wanted. I had a successful VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) and all the photos for remember the unforgettable event. She followed up with me several times during postpartum to provide some support, it was really nice to have someone understanding to talk to. I would recommend CJ to any first time, second time or third time mom. She's very sweet, respectful and reliable.
