Testimonial for Called to Birth Doulas & Birth Services
My birth was magical! The 4 main players were: mindful physical preparation, education on l&d and pp, amazing birth team, and most importantly, peace from the Lord.
I am grateful to have Sarah, my doula, present in my life during pregnancy, birth, and pp. During pregnancy, Suzie amd Sarah both prepared my mindset for a celebration - dimmed lights, candles, twinkle lights, aromatherapy, music in the background. This was unusual for me coming from the Slavic background. I've never heard of birth as a celebratory event before... ? ??? ????? ?????? (Who know birth could look like that??) Sarah also talked me through the packing checklist so I don't under/over pack.
During labor and delivery, Sarah suggested useful tips to help me be nourished, hydrated, and well rested. Then reminded me to breathe and relax when my body got tense during the contractions. She saw exactly we're the tension was, and addressed those areas. Additionally, she took pictures & videos to capture this magical moment; for this I am extremely grateful for!!
After delivery, she prepared a beautiful, fancy meal for hubby and me and a Goodie bag with useful gifts to take home.
Through the recovery period, she'd reach out to check on me every few days and help with any questions I had. We even went for a walk together once I was feeling better. I pray to have Sarah again at my next birth!
