Testimonial for Portland Doula Love
I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Doula Love. Our doula, Shontee, has been our rock through the perinatal process - pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She has been a constant source of wisdom and a calming presence for us as we enter parenthood. In particular, I can’t imagine our birth without her. Not only did she help us prepare thoughtfully, but was absolutely critical during labor. She suggested different positions to help the baby descend, created a space in the delivery room that was inviting vs medical, taught my partner methods to support me meaningfully, offered pain coping techniques and guided us through the extremely stressful experience of an emergency c-section. We’re so very grateful that Shontee was part of our birthing team!
We also took a number of classes offered through Doula Love that helped to build our skills, set expectations and facilitate helpful discussion between my partner and I as we prepped to welcome our child. Working with Doula Love undoubtedly eased the more turbulent elements of transitioning into parenthood and partnering with a doula was the most impactful step we took.
