Testimonial for Heather Schultz
After meeting Heather a few times, I knew she was going to be a good match as my doula. I was hoping to find someone who felt like a comforting aunt, and she was just that. During the visit just a few weeks before my due date, she went over various pain relieving techniques and positions to try once I went into labor at home. She was very thorough and went over many details with me, my husband, and my sister, who were all going to be a part of my Birth Team. The night I went into labor, my sister called her and she arrived at my house around 4 AM. Immediately after arrival, I felt a calming presence with her around. Her hands were very soothing and she jumped right in reminding me to relax between contractions. She worked very well with my sister and husband, in order to provide counterpressure with each contraction. It's actually quite impressive the physical demands of a Doula and the Birth Team in general. She helped coordinate timing to go to the Birth center. At all times she remained by my side again working with my sister to provide counterpressure and coordinating comfort measures for me. After all was said and done, she was very kind and supportive about my birth. She brought me warm tea and complemented the work I had done to bring my baby into the world. I don't think I would be able to have had my son naturally without her by my side. I highly recommend Heather and I'm so thankful to have met her and had her as my Doula. She's truly an angel.
