If you are thinking of hiring a Doula, hire Marcia! Marcia was such a blessing for my husband and me. When we decided to do a home birth we knew we needed to learn as much as we could about birth, labor and postpartum support. Marcia was just what we needed. From her home visits during pregnancy, to her birth class we attended, to the actual day of delivery we felt supported and loved.
This was my first pregnancy and first home birth and I would do it again.
I could not have done labor without her. She consistently encouraged me and said "You are strong. You are capable. Your body is doing exactly what it is supposed to."
If you are someone who loves words of affirmation, Marcia is your girl.
I attribute my dream birth to Marcia. I was in labor for 15 hrs and for almost all of it Marcia had me moving, doing different positions and circuits, walking etc. Not going to lie, in the moment I did not really like her for it. :) But looking back, it was exactly what I needed and I can't thank her enough.
My whole family loved Marcia and my sister in law and cousin in law are both now hiring her for their home births.
Marcia is knowledgeable and calm. Exactly what you need in the birth environment and beyond.
Thanks for everything Marcia! You are so appreciated!
