Testimonial for Catherine Young
I have had two amazing birth experiences with Catherine! I absolutely recommend her. Her presence is warm, inviting, gentle, kind, and encouraging. From the first time I met her, she felt so relatable. Catherine gave me the confidence, encouragement, and support I needed to reach my goal of an unmedicated, hospital birth (TWICE!). Her presence was such a gift and comfort in the vulnerable experience of child birth. For me it was important to have a doula that I could relate to on my Christian faith values, and trusting in God throughout all the joys and challenges of pregnancy and birth. She was so open to talking about faith and relating to my values, which made my experience so positive! She sent me helpful articles, resources, and websites that answered my questions and provided different perspectives in discerning my options. I never felt pressured to make certain choices throughout my pregnancy and labor. She was super supportive of all the decisions my husband and I made. During labor, she provided helpful coping tips and counter pressure during the long hours of back labor. My husband was also so thankful to have Catherine as part of our team! It allowed him to take breaks during labor, focus on things only he could do (like packing the car), and he didn't have to remember all the things from the childbirth courses we took. In summary, she was a loving, maternal encourager, exactly what I needed in the seemingly daunting task of birthing a child.
I also recommend NOVA Birth Services. I particularly appreciated filling out the doula birth blueprint, which is very comprehensive in thinking through your labor and birth options. Thank you so much for all the support I was given! I definitely would go to them again.
