Testimonial for Evana Cooper, BA, CD AMANI
Run, don't walk! Seriously.
After hearing too many stories from women who felt stressed and pressured by the healthcare system, it was very important to me to find warm, non-clinical support. A friend recommended we connect with Evana, who she'd worked with as a labor doula and to provide overnight support postpartum.
Since my intro phonecall, Evana has been prompt, responsive, caring and supportive. Evana has shown a deep understanding of the physical, mental and emotional processes of pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Most importantly, she's shared clear, meaningful tips that center her clients (especially mom!). She's taken time to answer any and all questions, explain (with props, readings, and digital resources), be an affirmer and a coach. It's been so reassuring to know Evana is in my, my husband, and now our 2 week old daughter's corner - and I've probably not even begun to scratch the surface of picking her brain!
Our family is looking forward to working with Evana for overnight support starting this week. For now, here's my birthing expierience with her: When my water broke at home, I felt prepared on what to expect. She was supportive, and communicative (even as she was literally getting off of a plane!). I rapidly progressed from water breaking to brief labor at home to running to the hospital. Evana arrived at the hospital shortly after I received my epidural, and quickly joined my care team, had snacks and much needed bedside social support for me and my husband. Best of all - when I was describing my pain, she deduced that I was experiencing back labor, and repositioned me to alleviate it. It was a short matter of time before I started active labor, which lasted only 16 minutes, and I thank Evana for lovingly coaching me through delivery. Bonus: I heard our midwife comment that she'd welcome working with Evana any time in the future. I concur!
Call her today. You won't regret it.
