Testimonial for Mariola Klein
I found Mariola through the Swedish Doula program and am SO glad I chose her.
We did not have a doula at our first birth, and after induction, it became one medical intervention after another. I wanted this birth to be different - to go into labor naturally and listen to my body. Mariola helped with that immensely. She listened carefully to what I wanted and talked me through how to get there. I appreciated that she has a big focus on positive affirmations, mindfulness, and coaching through the pain.
During the birth, she worked very well with my partner. She provided counter pressure, massage, and cold towels as I needed. She suggested we try different things like moving to the tub. She affirmed my progress and encouraged me along the way.
After the birth, she brought us food, pillows, drinks, blankets - anything we needed. Since she is a doula at Swedish, she had access and familiarity with all of those things.
Mariola helped make my birth one that I will think back on with pride and satisfaction. She is a strong, quiet presence and gave me and my partner just what we needed in each moment. I highly recommend her.
