Testimonial for The Dedicated Doula Team- Doula + Photo + CBE ++
Suzanne and Cari were absolutely phenomenal. Suzanne took the loveliest pregnancy photos and newborn photos and offered a wealth of information pre-pregnancy, including urging me to get a pump which ended up being essential for me. They also provided a TENS unit which kept early labor pain manageable. Cari essentially held my hand and had the gentlest, most calming voice that encouraged me to relax and keep my noises low-toned. She also really empowered me to lean into what my body was asking for (like getting into the pool) rather than wait for some perfect moment. She reheated pool water on my stove between contractions and really chameleoned herself to the energy I was putting out, which allowed me to totally focus and relax when I could.
But what blew me away the most was how incredibly responsive and engaged they were in the early days after birth, quickly responding to texts, offering suggestions for questions, providing resources for problems I was having (such as lactation consultants), and connecting me with a postpartum doula on their team who was available THAT night when my husband and I desperately needed some uninterrupted sleep. They even came by my house to give me a crash course in breastfeeding while I waited for lactation consultation availability and Suzanne brought donor milk and bottles with her. They were my lifeline in the early days and I’m so grateful.
