Testimonial for Patience Mays
Patience was everything I was looking for in a doula before I was even pregnant. I found Patience in a Facebook group before we had even conceived and let her know I was going to reach out when I became pregnant. She matched the values and morals I follow, it was important to me to have a very holistic perspective on pregnancy and delivery.
I didn’t have a traumatic first delivery but I also didn’t have a support person that helped instill confidence in me and my body. I wanted a non medicated hospital birth but with my then support team I was told I couldn’t do it and ended up with an epidural. Patience was the guiding hand in educating myself and helping me get to a level of confidence I’ve never known. I am very honored to say she helped me guide both of my beautiful daughters earthside at home. She’s very gentle and nurturing in labor, she guides you by helping you in new positions, centering you during the waves, makes sure you are staying hydrated, brings you pain management support and vocalizes your birthing affirmations.
The level of knowledge and support she gave me was unmatched to my first pregnancy. I needed her then and now I tell everyone to invest in a Doula. I, myself, have been inspired to become a doula because of the impact Patience had on me and my birthing experience. I only wish I had her for my first, too.
I not only gained knowledge, support, and a new self confidence but I also gained a friend.
