Heather is a passionate and dedicated doula, a warm and enthusiastic person, and she authenticly cares about childbirth and empowering parents with personalized support and evidence-based information.
We didn't get "the birth story" we wanted but felt we had the support we needed to navigate many difficult choices with the compassionate, listening ear of Heather and her ability to bring us back to our priorities and intentions - which was an essential factor in us feeling empowered through what was a very difficult birth story.
While working with Heather you experience and benefit from her supportive planning and preparation tools and ideas, her helpful and timely resources and most of all the labour practices and guides along with her encouraging and inspiring coaching during labour.
She had a phenomenal ability to understand, validate and reflect our values and priorities. We are so grateful for her approach to include both parents as partners and the non-pregnant partner to be empowered and prepared.
I hate to use cliches but Heather is dependable and engaged to a fault. She absolutely went above and beyond for us and even called in back-up support when we needed it (& is completely accurate in saying her first call, Michelle, is an equally dedicated, compassionate and skilled doula and all-around lovely person).
Her postpartum vists were very helpful with information around baby care/sleeping and breastfeeding - even if just to provide reassurance. It's definitely a great support!
I believe it is essential to have a connection with whichever Doula you choose, but it is so easy to see how Heather would connect well with anyone!
