“I am so happy to have had Cara McDonald as my doula for the birth of my baby, Oliver. It was great having someone to talk to about my ideas, wishes and fears and I particularly appreciated her nonjudgmental and encouraging support. She helped me access a wide variety of information and I was able to discuss all my options with her so that I felt empowered to make my own informed decisions even during the birth. Cara gave me lots of ideas about natural pain relief, like hypnobirthing which was really helpful and she helped me develop a positive and authentic birthing plan. My husband and I knew we would need someone calm and reliable during the birth as we are both prone to anxiety and Cara was fantastic. She knew just the right thing to say at just the right time and in the moments that I thought I couldn’t cope anymore she helped me refocus and stay calm. My husband was also glad to have Cara at the birth to ask questions and get some reassurance. I would happily recommend Cara's doula services to anyone having a baby.”
