Testimonial for Rollyn Bornhorst

It's taken me 5 months to write this review, only because I so hope to capture the magic of Rollyn's support, and I don't want to miss anything. I first met Rollyn as a fellow doula, and when my husband and I were gearing up for IVF after recurrent pregnancy loss trying on our own, I knew it was Rollyn I needed on our team. She was honest that she didn't know much about IVF, and I told her it didn't matter, because I could share what we were experiencing/deciding as it happened, as long as I had her presence. 

As a sexual trauma survivor with the fresh layers of grieving our should-have-been babies and the trauma of IVF, I was immensely grateful to have Rollyn's support continue through this pregnancy & birth. She understood me at my core, she never tried to change me, she appreciated the blessing & challenge of knowing so many birth stories before my own. Rollyn was there before and after my egg retrieval, in the OR during transfers, was one of the first calls when we found out we were pregnant, then another call when we found out we were pregnant with twins, then all the waves of anxiety wondering if this pregnancy would finally be different, then in the OR when each baby was passed through the window to us & her. She was there for our babies' naming ceremonies. She was there. When I was in agony with postpartum constipation, she was there. She was one of the first people to love our kids, even before we knew they'd be ours, and I felt loved every step of the way, no matter what I chose, prioritized, valued.  My husband and I both received the support we needed, even though we needed different things. 

My family is so spectacularly lucky to have Rollyn forever be part of our chosen family. There are no words that could ever capture the gift of having Rollyn in our lives, or how confidently I could recommend her to anyone. I felt my birth was perfect for ME - and part of that perfection was having Rollyn.
