Testimonial for Anna Shoemaker
Anna was beyond wonderful! I reached out to her intially for advice and she ultimately agreed to travel 4 hours to be my doula! Her prenatal appointments were thorough and really helped us know what to expect. Having a plan and walking through all of the potential birthing options really eased my mind. When my water broke 3 weeks early, she was there within a few hours. She monitored the baby and helped monitor my vitals as well so we could stay home as long as possible. During the labor process, she was hands on and supportive the entire time. From massage, to mood, lighting, and helping me get comfortable in the tub, she made sure I was as comfortable as possible. She was a mentor and resource for my husband and helped me make decisions for myself and my care when I wasn't able to do so myself. She was right there with me, holding my hand for my whole labor. After the baby came, she continued to do little things for us that made such a huge difference. She brought us dinner and tissues and special a peri-bottle since I couldn't figure out the hospital one ha. She kept my mother updated and met us as the house once we were discharged. Even 6 months post-partum she's still available to answer my questions and offer support. Pregnancy, labor, and post-partum are incredibly challenging, but having Anna at our sides made it the best possible experience. She went above and beyond and I could not imagine a better experience with a doula.
