As a first-time mom, I was looking for a doula who had experienced an unmedicated birth center birth and someone who I felt a connection with. Mary was the perfect fit for me. At our first meeting, I instantly felt a connection and knew I wanted her to support me through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. At our prenatal appointments, Mary helped me prepare for labor, mentally, physically, and spiritually. She even came out to our house to help me prepare for when we brought our baby home. When I went into labor, my midwife and I didn't think I would progress as fast as I did, but I quickly needed more labor support so Mary sent a backup doula to help me labor until she could make it to the birth center. She made it when I was beginning to push and I instantly felt at ease with her by my side. She fanned me with a notebook the whole time I was pushing. I had to transfer to the hospital and Mary came with us, stayed by my side, and held my hand when I needed her. We stayed in regular communication after birth for any questions or concerns I had. At our postpartum appointments, we talked about how I felt my labor went and how I was doing mentally. I hope we are still in the area when we have our next baby so Mary can be by my side again. If you are looking for a doula who will empower you, and be a rock for you to lean on, Mary is the best! <3
