Testimonial for Damarria Davis
After difficult birthing experiences with my first two children, I felt called to intentionally create pregnancy, birthing and postpartum experiences that validated, valued and centered my wants, needs, care and safety as a Black woman. I knew that I wanted to be more present and in touch with my body during birth so for the first time I would be giving birth unmediated and decided the support of a doula was important. Damarria was the first and only doula we spoke to. My husband and I felt instantly connected and comfortable with her philosophy, wisdom, and warmth! She not only supported my birthing vision but made me feel confident in it.
At a moment I didn’t feel cared for by my OBGYN, Damarria not only educated me but reminded me that my baby and I deserve the best care. With her support we found an amazing midwife and never looked back. Damarria gave us one-on-one support, education, resources and connected us with incredible opportunities to be prepared for an unmedicated birth and gentle, intentional postpartum care for myself and my husband. Though this was my third pregnancy, I was continuously learning and exploring. Damarria was not only an incredible educator and advocate but reminded me of my own power to advocate for myself and my care! She was constantly checking in, talking us thru emergencies, and remained a loving presence well into my postpartum period. She literally held my hand, calmed my anxiety, and reminded me of my birthing vision when the pain made me forget. She felt like family in the birthing room. I knew I was safe which allowed me to focus completely on my labor and listening to my body. With her guidance, support and encouragement I delivered my beautiful baby while standing in my husband’s arms! Our family is forever grateful to Damarria for our Journey.
