Testimonial for Stephanie Sinclair
We have been so fortunate to have Stephanie attend the births of our two babies. Stephanie brought with her a wealth of knowledge, a deeply calming presence, and a level of support that went above and beyond our expectations. Throughout the prenatal period, Stephanie was always available to answer our questions, help us navigate our birth plan, and provide resources and techniques for managing discomfort and preparing for labor. Her guidance was not only practical but also incredibly empowering, making us feel more confident and informed about the choices we were making.
When I went into labor with my second baby, Stephanie met us in triage at the hospital and we immediately felt a sense of comfort in her presence. My labor was much more intense with my second baby than my first, and Stephanie was able to comfort me through contractions by squeezing my hips, putting her hands on my lower back, and using her rebozo.
When I started to feel the need to push, I was suddenly overwhelmed with fear, having experienced a significant tear during my first birth. Stephanie sensed my fear and took control of the situation becoming a source of strength and reassurance. She said, "This is a different baby and a different birth. You're in a different position on your hands and knees. You're going to be ok". And that was all I needed to push my son out confidently. Stephanie's presence and her ability to instill confidence and provide support when it was most needed made all the difference.
I can't imagine going through pregnancy, childbirth, and the early days of parenthood without Stephanie. She was more than just a support person; she became a cherished part of our family's story. For anyone considering doula services, I cannot recommend Stephanie enough. The peace of mind, emotional support, and practical assistance a doula provides is priceless. I am forever grateful to Stephanie for enabling us to have two amazing, beautiful, unmedicated births.
