Testimonials

Wives and Husbands

Kaylie F. Vernal, Utah

After birthing with Donna, I now feel like I could have a successful pergnancy in a hospital, as well as at home. I understand self care. However, with Donna, I know my body will remain intact post delivery (no tears).

Mandy C. Duchesne, Utah

Being in our own home and being able to do what was comfortable for me, the baby, my husband and the other children. I was so well cared for and coached as to what would make delivery easier. This baby has been so calm and mellow. I have been rerally impressed how fast I have recovered. If I had known what a difference a home birth made in their countenance I would have done this with all of my children.

Mandy H. Vernal, Utah

The honest love she has, not only for what she does, but for the people she does it for and especially the babies. She always asks if parents have questions or concerns, encourages them to voice them, and is thorough & reassuring in her knowledgeable response. Anyone who attended a prenatal visit with me left a bit more educated than when they arrived. If only she could deliver all the babies, they all deserve such a beautiful, amazing, loving beginning. Thank you—We love you!

Wendy O. Vernal, Utah

I felt like a person instead of a number. It was wonderful having an attentive / concerned 'mom' making sure everything went well.

She respects how you feel, and when it is time to get down to business, Donna’s attention is all yours. She doesn’t try to rush things like you are on her time, and a burden. Delivery is your time and your needs are met. I love how she respected what my body wanted, not the medical dictated crap.

Not only is she compassionate, but she has a tremendous amount of knowledge.
