If you want a supportive, educational, and informative birthing experience I would highly recommend Heather as your doula. I had a rough vision of how I wanted my labour to go and Heather was a huge support for my partner and I. She came to our house later into my pregnancy and we talked at length about what I wanted, didn’t want and what I was on the fence about. Heather never judged my choices, but reinforced I was doing what was best for me and my baby.
When it was go-time, Heather came to our apartment and laboured with me. She immediately made the energy in the room calm and in her bag of goodies she had a tens machine which was a game changer for my long labour! She made the hospital room cozy with music and lights. I never asked her to do anything rather she intuitively knew what was needed; counter pressure during contractions, getting my mom and partner food, and educating me when medical decisions came up.
The delivery of my daughter is a little blurry in my memory (lack of sleep and so much adrenaline), so I’m incredibly grateful to have the photos Heather took of my daughter’s birth. She captured the love between my husband and I, and the raw moments right after my daughter was born.
Postpartum as a first time Mom, Heather brough soothing tools and aids to help me heal and responded to all my questions with her own experience and informative links to source my own opinion.
Finally, after a month of our baby being born, Heather did a family photoshoot with us. My birthing experience was amazing, and I have memorable photos to look back on. Our family is so happy we had Heather with us as a support and guide.
