Testimonial for Adara Parker
Adara was an absolute joy and essential part of our first natural birthing experience.
I was very impressed with her preparation and the value she provides from the jump. Our first meeting was all about preparing and expectations for ourselves and her. We also assembled a birth plan together which is invaluable when the baby is coming and it's crunch time. Finally, We worked on movements and manipulations to aid in pain relief during labor.
When we called her for early labor she was prompt and cordial. She took walks with us, talked with us, watched Harry Potter with us, and stayed with us for a good six hours until my wife's contractions ended at 5AM at which time she returned home. She made us both feel very comfortable and safe to call her at any time for anything (even if the baby didn't end up coming that night).
Two nights later, it was go time.
My wife and I called Adara and then sped to the hospital 20 minutes away. Adara was there waiting for us. She helped my wife and I during delivery by asking Kimmie the right questions, helping with breathing, and pain relief, but thankfully, the delivery was so rapid we didn't have time to go through many of those exercises and techniques.
After birth, Adara was invaluable.
She was able to stay with my wife and ensure she was feeling ok and being taken care of while I was able to follow our baby over to the warmer where they were raising her oxygen saturation. Adara was able to ensure my wife got the attention she desperately needed and deserved after going through such a rapid birth which made me comfortable to go and be with baby.
After everything calmed down, she congratulated us and went on her way. She will visit baby tomorrow! I highly recommend Adara to anyone looking for a great Doula!
