Testimonial for Heather Rogers
I can’t say enough great things about Heather and our experience with her as our birth doula for our second child. If I had to pick one word to describe our experience with Heather, it would be EMPOWERED. We had hoped to use a doula for our first daughter but due to COVID, we were not able to have an extra support person. Due to this, we were excited when we found Heather and that we would be able to make this experience happen the second time around. Heather was a great resource ahead of the birth and helped us work through what we liked and potentially what we wanted to change in our birth plan for our second child.
When it came to the main event, I ended up being induced and while I had hoped to have an unmedicated birth, I wasn’t sure it would be possible as so many people I had talked to described how much more intense the contractions were under induction. I can honestly say that Heather’s support was definitely key in helping to deliver my daughter without an epidural. She provided excellent suggestions to my husband to help provide me pain relief and her gentle yet assertive voice was something that I leveraged to get me through each contraction. It was also impressive to see the way she worked with the nurses to take a few tasks off their plates, so they could do their jobs better. While we don’t plan to have anymore children, now that we’ve experienced births both with and without doula support, I can’t imagine not having a doula by our side. If you are lucky enough to have that doula be Heather, know that you are in excellent hands!
