Client Testimonials for Laura Cochran, CD (CBI), CPM
Abigail Cates
She cooks, she cleans, and she is even handy! Laura lived with us for a little more than a month after our son was born, and it was a Godsend! She took over full cooking and cleaning duties, along with most of the household tasks. We run our houses differently, and that wasn't a problem for her. She continued doing things my way where I wanted and did them the way she felt best if I didn't specify.
Her cooking is amazing. She has a knack for tossing random food and seasonings in a pot and before you know it there is a scrumptious meal in front of you. Even though it is not necessarily her normal style, she'll follow recipes and menus if you are into planning meals a week at a time like I am. One of Laura's biggest strengths is her knowledge and experience with post partum dietary needs. Making sure you have the fuel you need to keep you and baby going is a forte of hers. I distinctly recall being fed melt in your mouth pancakes as I nursed my son in the morning. She genuinely cares for you and your baby, while helping you to keep your household running in whatever capacity you may need.
For full disclosure - I am her sister, but she's pretty fabulous even if you take that factor out!
