Testimonial for Heather Schultz
Where to begin!? I relocated to Idaho at 29 weeks pregnant and was feeling uneasy about switching care teams/hospitals/states in the 3rd trimester. I found Heather online and my partner and I met with her for an initial consultation at a local coffee shop nearby and within the first 2 minutes we knew she was for us. She has a warm demeanor and a ton of knowledge, plus she has this knack for sharing tips and tricks ranging from hydration and diet to birthing positions to baby carrying. The biggest benefit was having Heather present during labor and delivery. She was hands on in just the right way, and always encouraged and guided my husband when he was looking to help but was unsure what to do. I knew she would advocate for my wants and needs (even in the event I was unable to do so myself), and she came through with the little things (cold wet towel, ice chips, massage, etc.) that I didn't know I needed. I am certain that there was a positive and profound trickle down effect of her presence that put me at ease and resulted in a more gratifying birth experience. I feel I had a satisfying birth and I attribute a big part of that to having Heather in the room with us. 10/10, highly recommend her! Don't just get a doula, get Heather!
