Testimonial for Sandra Crawford, CD(DONA), CLC
I cannot say enough good things about our experience working with Sandra! She is wonderfully warm and attuned, immensely knowledgeable, and has a quiet, sturdy presence that lent us comfort and strength through the ups and downs of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. We took Sandra's EBB childbirth class and worked with her as our doula, and benefitted greatly from both. What we learned in the course helped us think through our birth preferences thoroughly, and feel informed and prepared for the labor and birth process. Our doula visits with Sandra gave us space to explore those decisions more deeply, and process the complex emotions surrounding pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood in a safe and supportive environment. Sandra always brought us back to a sense of connection to our existing strengths as people and as partners. During labor, she was a gentle and reassuring presence, helping me listen to what my body needed, trust the process to unfold in its own time, and know when it was time to head to the hospital. Her support helped us have the confidence to labor at home as long as possible (which was important to us), so that we were only at the hospital for a few short hours before our baby was born. She collaborated seamlessly with the hospital staff to support me in my preferences for laboring and birthing positions, and was simultaneously a big support for my husband through the birth process. We loved her visits in the early postpartum days, which helped us process the birth experience and our experiences adjusting to new parenthood. I would recommend Sandra highly to anyone looking for a wise, warm, and supportive guide and companion through the journey of birth!
