Alysha is worth her weight in gold. She truly made all the difference in me and my husband having a positive birth experience. Alysha has an incredible depth and breadth of knowledge when it comes to pregnancy and labor. She answered many of my questions, but was also comfortable telling me that everyone’s birth experience is different so it’s not a true science. She has a library of birthing books that you can rent from. She also knows many people in the area from pediatricians to pelvic floor therapists.
My birth (first time mama) went extremely fast and did not at all follow the traditional labor track. She encouraged us to follow our gut and head to the hospital. Contractions never got longer, but definitely intensified. Baby girl was in the wrong position, so Alysha used her expertise to put me in a different position on the peanut ball. My baby flipped to my left side and was here within the hour! After my bleeding slowed down, she went home so we could have bonding time with our little one. Alysha also took my placenta home and coordinated drop off with my mom. This was so incredibly important to me and she made it happen even with the hospital time crunch.
Alysha is so kind and knowledgeable. It’s important to her that you have a positive experience and address your fears around birth. She is also present to help you process the birth after the fact. If you’re considering Alysha for your birth, I would highly recommend her.
