Before I met Bonu; she was recommended to me by so many birthing educators that I knew she must be something special.
On our first intro phone call, my husband and I both immediately felt at ease with her. The start of a trusting relationship for all three of us!
I truly cannot imagine having the birth I had (and hoped for) without Bonu. From prenatal support, resources & thoughtful discussion to the care she put in to helping me craft my birth plan and helped me understand how I wanted to be supported -- it gave me space to thoughtfully prepare.
She was a text away when my contractions started in the middle of the night, joined us at our home when I was ready for in person support - and I truly believe my labor progressed because of the security I felt having her with us. She helped my husband support me, and together we stayed in the comfort of our home while I coped.
Together we traveled to the hospital, where we arrived and I was 9cm and almost ready to push! I truly felt the most amazing community of women with Bonu, my midwife and nurse cheering me on as I brought my little guy into the world.
On the other side of birth, she continues to be a support person for us on our breastfeeding and newborn care journey. I feel like Bonu is a dear friend at this point, and would recommend her to ANYONE! May we all be so lucky to have this kind of support for birth.
