Testimonial for Chelsea Da Paz
Took me a bit to write this, after having a babe but wanted to make sure to because of how great Chelsea was for us!
She is an amazing doula and well worth the investment. Extremely knowledgable in all the random things. I was a well researched mama, but she still taught me a lot of things and was always available to me to give advice (and still is, which is so kind of her!) One of the biggest reasons I loved birthing with Chelsea was her ridiculous amount of patience with my ever changing birth choices. I was extremely indecisive towards the end of my pregnancy; wanting things to progress naturally but when they didn’t and I had to make choices she was beyond patient with me. Stayed with us for an almost 24 hour labor and though I continuously told her to take a break, she insisted on staying by our side and barely left the room. I appreciated her advocating for me by just being present, which her presence alone was enough to ensure the midwife didn’t make choices that I wouldn’t have agreed to. Its extremely difficult navigating a hospital birth, but wanting freedom of choice and having a Doula gives you more freedom because they are an advocate for you when you are at your most vulnerable. I was unable to speak when I was in so much pain and she piped up for me and held the doctors, nurses and midwife accountable. When its all said and done, although my birth did not go as I had hoped, in the sense that I was hoping to have less intervention, I am so happy it went as well as it did and Chelsea was a big part of that!
