Testimonial for McKenna Tiland (she/they)
Expecting our first child, my husband and I knew hiring a doula would be extremely helpful for us as we navigated the new world of labor and delivery. Being pregnant can be complicated and daunting at times, let alone planning for a delivery and navigating the medical world that surrounds it. As we started looking for and interviewing different doulas, there was an immediate connection with McKenna. Over the phone on our first call, I was put at peace and felt like I was talking and confiding in an old friend. During our preparation for labor, she validated my concerns and questions, regardless of how big or silly they were. She constantly was working to meet me where I was and provide support in an individualistic and specific way. In every interaction, she was upbeat and friendly, making it easy to connect with and rely on her. During my delivery, McKenna was a soothing presence and was there to support in all ways, even if it was to just hand me my water or adjust a pillow. She was adaptable to the situation and made sure to check in with me constantly to ensure I felt supproted and had what I needed. Her interaction with the hospital staff, nurses and midwife was both professional and kind, leaving a great impression with all those she interacted with. I would recommend McKenna to anyone needing a calming presence and supportive friend during your pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. She brought great knowledge and experience and ensured she provided benefical information while still allowing myself and I to make the best decision for us in each moment.
