Testimonial for Michele Peterson
Michele and the Distrcit Doulas were fantastic to work with. This was my first pregnancy and I was so glad that we had the District Doulas to support us throughout the pregnancy, birth and postpartum. The classes pre-birth was super informative and helped put me and my partner at ease leading up to the birth. I felt informed and thus empowered during the birth of my son. Michele was our doula on the day of the birth and she was such a stabilizing presence during all the chaos that is active labor. She helped me breath and focus. She helped my partner help me. She was with us at the hospital all the way through the birth and I was so glad to have her there to translate everything that was happening and slow time down a bit when it feels like it's going a million miles an hour. I feel so good about my birth experience and know a huge part of that was because Michele was there and because of the education we had beforehand. I will also say their postpartum support is maybe even the best part! In my experience it felt that as soon as we left the hospital we were sort of left on our own by the medical establishment, but the District Doulas were super reponsive to all of our questions. We had a whole feeding journey in the beginning (which I think is pretty common) and they were so supportive and informative. Michele came to visit in the early days to make sure we were ok and that was hugely comforting. Overall, I'm so happy we hired the District Doulas!
