There are times when a medical situation during pregnancy dictates a change of plan. At challenging times and with the unpredictability of labour and birth we are always grateful for a positive birth where everyone feels safe and supported and everyone on the team works towards this outcome. Huge congratulations to this new family.
"When my husband and I met Cheryl for the first time, her warm, professional, and passionate personality made us want to hire her right away. She’s evidence based and not afraid to speak her mind. We could not have made a better choice in working with her as our birth doula. She’ll forever have a special place in our hearts!
Our labour ended with a healthy baby and a healthy mum, for which we are so grateful.
But it was nothing like we’d imagined. We went from hoping for an intervention free birth to an induction to a difficult vacuum extraction. It was all unexpected and quick, but it would have been much more traumatic if we hadn’t had Cheryl. She prepared us so well in our prenatal appointments, always made us feel safe, and made sure that our priority was to be comfortable with the decisions we made while in labour.
Because of this preparation and support there is no grief or trauma for the birth we’ve had. During and after the labour itself, Cheryl was a source of endless comfort and steadiness for both my husband and me.
She kept me going and never ever doubted me and continually brought peace, calm and positivity to the birth suite.
She was a key part of our team, and my husband and I will be forever grateful that she was present with us. We highly, highly recommend her! Thanks Cheryl, you truly have a heart of gold ❤️ love Jenny, Nate and Lottie"
