Testimonial for Maddie Johnson
Our experience with Maddie as our birth doula exceeded all expectations. Maddie has a warm personality and an innate ability to connect with others. Her face truly lights up when she talks about birth, displaying her passion for all things birth related. Maddie was able to provide valuable information and explain her role in such a way that we knew we had made the right decision in pursuing her as our birth doula. Meeting with Maddie in preparation for our birth helped us build a connection and to feel prepared and empowered for birth. When it came to the time of birth, we felt confident as we knew we had invested time, energy, and money into meaningful preparatory efforts. There are numerous ways in which Maddie goes above and beyond. She provided guidance about interventions that could be beneficial, such as a chiropractor & lactation consultant. She gave guidance about ways to naturally induce labor and helpful positions for when labor did start. We did our best to listen attentively, ask questions, and follow guidance, and for us, that resulted in an amazing birth process. It is important for us to share, particularly in light of ample horrific birth stories, that our birth process could not have gone any better. Prior to the birth, we felt knowledgeable about the birth process and understood what our goals were. We had prepared for various scenarios and had an idea of preferences for each. Having Maddie as our doula, improved our communication and our ability to connect and support each other leading up to, during, and after birth. The birth of your child is such a momentous experience; we could not imagine navigating all of the intricacies and challenges without Maddie by our side. She serves as an advocate, educator, support, and a friend. Any question or concern we had, she was responsive, informed, honest, and supportive. Maddie will forever be an essential part of the birth story of our son, and for that, we are forever grateful.
