Testimonials:
The level of commitment of Heather is unsurpassed. She encompasses the personality traits, knowledge base, wisdom and experience needed to be the role of labor assistant. I felt like she was my stronghold, guide and partner through my labor process. Her support enabled my husband to play a more active role than in my previous birth and her countenance brought a peace that filled the stressful situation, room and me. Her desire to be continually learning brought me great success through her knowledge base with essential oils and labor tools such as the rebozo. Along with her knowledge base she is aware of resources and is able to call them to mind in the stress of the situation. Spinning Babies helped me to birth my son naturally though the threat of a cesarean when he was posterior. Heather is perceptive, picking up on needs during labor such as pulling out scriptures during a stressful time of the labor. She was always aware of each contraction and prepared to position herself however necessary to apply counter pressure or some other form of labor support. Heather's personality and the way she interacted with the hospital staff had them asking her questions, learning from her and listening to her requests. Heather is a wise and trusted doula. She was one of the first people to know about my pregnancy as I wanted to ensure her presence. I am forever grateful for the role she played in my labor/delivery and I would not want to labor in the future without her.
