I wasn't even going to hire a doula. I thought about it when I became pregnant and just couldn't see how hiring someone would make that big of a difference. It was highly recommended to me to find a doula by my midwife and several other sources so I thought I would just talk to a few doulas at least. Best. Decision. Ever. My very first meeting with Heather I felt so comfortable with her. Having her support for me and my husband while I gave birth was the best decision. She took care of us in such a kind, warm and comforting way. It was never disruptive. She was so helpful and caring. She understands when to give space, when to offer support, when silence is needed and when encouragment is needed. She spoke up for me during the birth to ensure that my wishes were being honored as we had discussed them in our meetings when I was pregnant. Before giving birth and after she was always available to answer questions and help me solve issues. This was especially helpful postpartum, as being a new parent I was trying to figure out so many new things. If my husband and I are in Vancouver when I give birth to our second child I will contact Heather again. She's wonderful.
