Testimonial for Sara Krivanec, CD(DTI), CLC
Having Sara as part of my "dream team", as I called it, was a key ingredient in what I believe was the perfect recipe that made my labor and delivery experience more wonderful than I could have ever imagined.
I have been terrified of being pregnant and giving birth for my entire life. When it came time to start our family, I knew that I had a lot of work to do to get myself prepared to do this. My husband and I are both Type A personalities who love to be as prepared as possible. That is the way that I am able to best handle situations like this, ones that I have no real control over. For prenatal care, we used the Midwives at VCU. The midwives and Dr. Isaacs are an incredible team. We also enrolled in the 10-12 week Bradely Method course.
When it was time to look for a doula, I emailed a few people to meet with. Sara was one of the 3 that I met with in person and we fell in love with her immediately. I didnt realize how lucky I was until I started telling people who I was workign with. Everyone from our Bradley instructor to all of the midwives knew exactly who she was and she clearly had the reputation as the best in town. So, we got lucky that she was one of the names we had picked from the list! And we got lucky that she was available to work with us.
From the moment that we decided to work together, I knew that I had picked the perfect doula for us. We met several times before the delivery and I was confident that I had done the homework that I needed to mentally and physically prepare for this experience. The support that Sara brought to my husband and I, is unable to be put into words. Sara has a calming strength that really balances our sometime intense personalities. Sara's experience working at our hospital and with the nurses, staff and midwives was a great bonus.
I am so grateful for everything Sara gave me to help me have the birth experience that I am so proud of. I can't wait to do it again!
