I don't even know where to begin with how amazing Hunter is. She is knowlegable, kind, and makes you feel comfortable and loved.
She was by our side the entire pregnancy, always reaching out and checking on us. She was there to prepare us for what to expect at each appointment. She answered any questions we had. Most importantly she served as a voice of reason for all of our thoughts. She was always there to help provide context to any concerns we may have had throughout the process.
When my wife's water broke at 3:00 AM, Hunter was our first call and picked up on the first ring, excited to hear from us. It was over 36 hours from our water breaking until delivery and during that time we were faced with several tough choices and adversity. Hunter was always there to validate our choices, offer alternatives in line with our goals, or just listen when we were scared or stressed. When it came time to push, having her by my wife's side comforting and offering support was immensely valuable.
Once our beautiful baby girl was born Hunter's job was still not over. She checked on us several times and had a home visit several days later. As new parents we had no less than 1,000 "Is this normal?" questions and Hunter was still just a text away to answer questions and reassure us where she could.
I think that the biggest thing that sets Hunter apart from any other doula out there is her ability to help us realize our goals and support them. She did a great job of talking to us and helping us realize exactly what we wanted for this pregnancy and for the childbirth itself. Every single piece of advice or encouragement throughout the process she gave was in an effort to help us achieve our goals. It made such a difference knowing we had someone looking out for us at each and every step.
I truly cannot imagine going through this process without Hunter, she feels like part of our family.
