Testimonial for Heather Karlson (DONA)
I found Heather fairly early in my pregnancy. I was excited about finding a doula and was looking for one that incorporated her faith into her labor support. When I talked on the phone with Heather I knew she would be the perfect support that both my husband and I needed. Heather was great about checking in throughout my pregnancy and helping to calm any fears/anxieties. As we got closer to my due date we knew there was a possibility Heather wouldn't attend my birth just due to previous commitments her family had. She made sure there was a back up doula planned in the event that I went into labor while she was unavailable. It just so happened that's exactly what happened! But Heather stayed in communication with my husband throughout the labor and birth and really made him feel less alone. The backup doula we had was also wonderful and so attentive during my labor. After the birth Heather made it a point to come by with the back up doula and debrief the labor and birth with me. That was so healing to be able to talk through a somewhat traumatic experience and feel heard and seen.
I love Heather and wish I could've had her at my birth but was able to recommend her to a friend who was soooo pleased with Heather and her care! Totally recommend giving Heather a chance.
