Testimonial for Alicia Power CD(DONA)
I hired Alicia to help guide me through my first birth after she was highly recommended by two different friends who also used her services. Alicia was phenomenal and I don’t think my birth would have gone so well without her knowledge and support. She met with us three times during my pregnancy to go over my birthing plan, the laboring process, and postpartum recovery as well as one week after the birth to make sure things were going well. I was especially grateful I hired her because my baby was measuring in the 98th percentile and the doctor kept bringing up c-sections even though I had planned to give birth without medication. If it wasn’t for Alicia, who provided me with science-based articles showing how ultrasounds usually over predict baby weight and talked through all my concerns with me, I would not have felt confident enough with having a vaginal birth.
When I went into labor, Alicia was exactly the type of person I needed to help me through my contractions and pushing. She remained calm and supportive even though I was a mess, kept the room relaxing with scented oil infusers and calm music, and helped me get into more comfortable positions during the contractions. It truly was such a positive birthing experience, and I can’t thank Alicia enough for helping bring my perfect baby girl into this world!
