Cassie, you were made for this. I will forever admire your strength and sweet energy. You've made a huge imprint in my life and helped boost my confidence as a New Mommy!
The day you became my Doula was one of the best moments in my life. Ill share my gratitudes for the Connecting Young Moms group for making this possible.
Since the first day we interacted, you gave me all the support I needed. You've helped me gather necessities for my child and went above and beyond educating me on all things birth related!
When it came time for labor, with your guidance, I felt extremely PREPARED. I wanted a natural, peaceful birthing experience and each step of the way you helped me achieve that and made sure I was able to align with my birth plan.
I decided to birth at the birth center in Beverly. However I started having contractions in the evening throughout middle of the night and the center was closed. I was a bit uncomfortable at first being in a hospital setting but with you by my side Cassie, I didn't feel out of place and all desires were kept! We shut the lights off and created a mommy den! Used essential oils and we tried so many exercises to engage baby and ease contraction discomforts.
The birth center opened at 7am and after a long night of contractions at the hospital, I was wheeled over to the B.C. By this time I was exhausted and every bit of your encouragement was very much needed. When I thought I couldn't keep going, you were right there to gently tell me "You're already doing it".
I remember you suggested for me to speak to baby while I was in the water. These are the things I'll never forget from this experience. Each push, you held my hand. I'd tense up and you'd remind me to relax my jaw.. and when my daughter finally arrived I asked if you could count her fingers and toes for me.
Together we gracefully traveled through the eyes of death and birthed LIFE.
I would strongly recommend you for any momma in search of a Doula. You're passionate, experienced and your energy is one to remember. Please consider her in your search for a doula.
Aura and I love you dearly for life!
