My birthing experience would not have been the same without Cherish. I was nervous because this was my first pregnancy and I had a small complication so labor was induced. My delivery window was during the height of the 2021 pandemic when family support was limited at the hospital. Because of this I feared not having the support I needed. Thanks to Cherish being a licensed doula, she was able to be in the room with me even when close family were not. Cherish coached me weekly from the beginning of my "high risk" pregnancy and all through post partum.
During delivery, Cherish's calm nature and massages, along with reassurance slowed me too stay calm. She suggested a mirror, plants, and relaxing music. She was the most supportive when the staff attempted to cut the cord before we were ready. Even when the doctors were suggesting things to rush my delivery, I felt confident in decisions because of her support.
I opted to have continued post partum support from Cherish in home and virtually. She came to prepare healthy meals for me and performed belly binding which made my healing process smoother and faster. She also check on my son's healing and she still keeps up with us to this day!
I have referred Cherish to every pregnant woman that I know. I would never have a birthing experience without her but my side!
