We couldn't be happier with the support we recieved from Matilda for our birth. I was referred to Matilda by my past doula and I trusted her recommendation - Matilda was so knowledgable and easy to talk to. I was able to see her many times throughout the process, from an initial virtual visit, to an in-person meeting at our home, the birth itself, and a follow up visit again at home. At the birth prep meeting, we spent a lot of time going over my past birth and concerns and feelings about this birth, so she really understood me throughout the process. She also took notes about my preferences to refer to during the birth, but also notes about what was happening during the birth that we could reference later if needed. At the time of my actual birth, she was full of ideas to help get things moving and get baby in a good position. Most of the labor was just troubleshooting and talking through options with her to help me from one decision to the next. She was also just fun and easy to hang out with during the long process of labor. Ultimately I feel so happy with how my birth went (laboring as long as I could and then getting an epidural for the final stretch) - After the birth Matilda encapsulated my placenta and delivered it, and then came over for a follow up to see how breastfeeding and my healing was going. If you are looking for a doula, I can't recommend Matilda more highly!
