Camisha and I grew up in the same small town, and long before I even knew she was a doula, I told my husband about this girl I once knew who made a lasting impact on me as being a truly genuine, nurturing person without an unkind bone in her body. I was talking, of course, about Camisha. Then, when I found out she was a doula and could be MY doula, I knew she would be just the sort of person I wanted around during my all- natural labor. I had to convince my husband that hiring a doula would be worth it, but after our first meeting with her, he told me he was already so glad we had hired her. She made us both feel less anxious about the upcoming birth and really prepared us with wonderful tools for the process. During my labor, Camisha was a god-send for both me and my husband. She taught my husband massage techniques for my difficult back labor, and the pair of them saved me from begging for drugs! I honestly think I was able to have the drug-free labor I wanted because of the support of a great doula. My midwife and nurse told me that Camisha was one of the best doulas they had worked with. Since my baby was born, Camisha has gone the extra mile to help me with the baby blues and the struggles of breastfeeding. I would not hesitate for a moment in recommending her to anyone! Thanks, Camisha! You love what you do, and it shows!
