Testimonial for Madison Herrera
Maddie was so wonderful to work with. My husband and I do not have family in the local area and when we found out we were pregnant we knew we would want a doula by our side during our first pregnancy. From the start, Maddie had a calm and flexible demeanor which I know must be critical in this role. She calmed my nerves about my birth preferences and talked me through my questions I asked her after my Dr. appointments. As the birth approached, she was there constantly responding to my day-of questions seeking her advice. During the actual birth, she was hands on, massaging me, encouraging me and my husband, and making sure we were all in great hands in the hospital setting. It was a challenging and long birth in which I questioned abandoning my preferences many times, but then I would look and see Maddie telling me how amazing I was doing and that I could keep going. In the tense times of making some quick decisions, she calmly and assuringly guided me through the best birth I could have imagined as we navigated some hiccups such as baby size and pain. I can’t recommend Maddie enough. I know if it was just my husband and I, I wouldn’t have had the strength and support needed to achieve my birth wishes. We love Maddie and you won’t regret having her by your side!
