Testimonial for Gretchen Retka
I am very happy to recommend Gretchen! After interviewing several doulas, we chose her because she truly supported my vision for my birth without imposing any of her personal beliefs. Gretchen brought a wealth of knowledge and resources that helped my husband and me focus on creating a birth plan we felt confident about.
Even though things didn't go exactly as planned (our baby had her own ideas!), Gretchen was there for every step of the journey. During labor, her strong and powerful voice made all the difference--I honestly believe that her guidance is the reason I was able to deliver my daughter so quickly.
She not only helped me prepare, but during the birth, hers was the only voice I could hear, grounding me and giving me the strength I needed. Thanks to Gretchen, I achieved my birth goals, and now we have a happy and healthy baby girl. I'm beyond grateful for her support.
Do yourself a favor and set up an interview with her--you might connect with her the way we did!
