Testimonial for Cherie Halterman, CD(DONA)
I gave birth to my first baby last year and chose to have a home birth. I was initially on the fence about having both a midwife and doula present but I am so glad I went that route. Cherie was a really calming presence at my birth and was super helpful to both myself and my husband. They (Cherie and my husband) really worked as a team supporting me through labor. He felt that she offered a perfect balance when it came to relieving him for a moment when needed but also making sure he could be the one supporting me as much as possible. She showed him things to try and how he can help and then just let him be in the experience. She didn’t try to take over. For him, having her to refer to during the birth was really nice. For me, I knew when I met Cherie that I wanted her there at my birth. She has a silent strength about her that I find very empowering. From prenatal appointments, during the birth and through to the postpartum check in, I felt supported and in good hands. Absolutely worth it. Thank you Cherie!
