Testimonial for Anna Shoemaker
As a first time mom, Anna was exactly what I was looking for in a doula. I wanted someone who could help me navigate the multitude of decisions involved with child birth, help me advocate for what we wanted for myself and baby, as well as support and care for me during the process. She was all of that and more! She helped us think through every aspect and detail of our birth plan and as our due date got closer she even helped us navigate when we kept running into major pressure to induce when we went past due date. When the time came, she was at our side as soon as I said I wanted her there, and seamlessly juggled us along with another momma in her care who went into labor at the same time, and yet we still felt like her focus. When our labor took a turn and it went into a C-section, I was heart broken but she was there supporting and empowering me in a big way. We advocated for her to be in the room for our C-section and I am SOOO glad she was there. She helped care for me and keep me calm so dad could focus on baby. Anna’s postpartum/follow up visits and care were also absolutely on point. We had a lot of struggles as we transitioned into parenthood and she was there to lean on, helping to guide us through the challenges and connecting us with the resources we needed. I am so beyond grateful we found Anna and if we are to have another little blessing in the future, I would 100% want Anna to be our doula again. She is passionate about her work and for sure makes her patients a priority, making sure all of their birthing needs are met.
