Birth Partners Doulas of Connecticut
"Thank you for all that Birth Partners did for my family! You are a phenomenal group and I would be happy to recommend you to anyone!" |
"I just wanted to send you a quick email (as I have a sleeping baby on me :) to let you know again how wonderful Carrie was during my labor and delivery! It was certainly not easy or short and she was so encouraging and helpful throughout all 30 hours (and the couple of hours afterward). I truly do not know how I would have done it without her! This profession is absolutely perfect for her! I could go on forever letting you know how wonderful she was but words just can't even explain. " HP (06/09) |
Thank you for training your doulas to be the best! Christa (11/08) |
Pregnancy and labor can be a fearful time with many unknowns, but I feel so ready, so prepared, so supported, & so excited (NOT fearful) all due to the fact that I know I will have a rock beside me, a support, & a coach for whatever lies ahead. (11/08) |
I could not even imagine going through this experience without the support I have received from Birth Partners. I am so grateful for your honesty, insight, education, and availability. CD (11/08) |
Thank you again! I will definitely be in touch when our family grows again! K & M (10/08) |
I'm convinced that every woman deserves to give herself the gift of Birth Partners! Katie (10/08) |
I do not want to leave out how positive my husband felt about the whole experience also. He felt more a part of this birth than he even imagined. I felt so comfortable during the contractions and I know Mike felt so proud to be able to help me! |
We really can't thank you enough for all your kind and generous support through this pregnancy and L____'s birth. Your presence and expertise, listening and advice helped me transform from being anxious and defensive about it all to feeling calm and ready. I really think things would have gone differently without your help. L___'s birth was the best experience of our lives and we will never forget the part you played in it! We'll always be grateful. |
When B____ and I began this birth journey, we didn't even know who a doula was. Now, we realize it is someone who is a wise woman, confidant, faithful friend and someone who will be there with support, grace and love. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - |
Tears fill my eyes as I type this email. Please know how truly grateful I am for you providing mothers-to-be with Birth Partners. I highly respect your philosophy and methods behind your trainings. I will recommend Birth Partners to all of my friends in the future. We look forward to having a 3rd child in the future and you will be one of the first to find out about the pregnancy because without a doubt we will want a doula, hopefully Deby, to be present again. - Katie C. (10/08) |
