This testimonial is long overdue! Where do I begin... Ms. LaShaye is the perfect Doula to have during your pregnancy journey. She supported not only me but also my fiancé through this journey and that was a huge plus for us as first time parents. She is exceptional, extraordinary, very attentive and always has your best interests. Her guidance and recommendations were always right on point for my needs. Her research is credible and you get the most out of every session you have with her. She never downplayed our questions and always had an answer for them. Bringing our baby girl into this world for our very first time couldn't have went any better. I was, and til this day am still very grateful that we had Ms. LaShaye right by our side during Labor and delivery. It's been almost a year since our baby was born and she still checks in on all of us to make sure everything is going wonderful. It's not just her career, you become apart of her family. She has a wonderful personality, gentle spirit, calming aura, and great sense of humor as well. Thank you again for all that you have done. You should look no further, make Ms. LaShaye apart of your family today whether you are first time parents or it's your second time around. You will be pleased.

Ms LaShaye was a pleasure to work with during the end of my pregnancy and during my birth ! She is so attentive and caring, she makes sure your needs and wants are heard and she will make sure you feel safe with her . She was able to help me plan out my perfect birth plan & even though it turned around, she still was there supporting and making it a breeze. She brings oils, exercise balls, helps teach how to move baby down, stretches etc. Even though I didn't need too much PP support, the visits and talks we had definitely helped and let me know she's still here for me! I love that she treats us the way she would want to be treated, and she's very passionate about her career! There's nobody better to be in your corner than someone that loves their job & can relate to you . Ms LaShaye will DEFINITELY be on my mind my next pregnancy, and recommended to others I know! 
I loved working with her, thank you Ms Lashaye for all that you do ??

I hired Lashaye as my doula for the birth of my baby. I started seeing her when I was five months along and she was helpful and informed the entire time about anything I had questiins for. She provided a LOT of information and support to me and my partner throughout my pregnancy especially as we got closer to babys arrival. I'm so grateful to have had Lashaye present at my birth, because she helped tremendously in every way possible. She listens to your wants and needs as a woman and as a new mother, she lets you know what to expect as well as how to prepare. I've recommended her to my other expecting friends as well.

My experience with LaShay'e as my husband and I's doula was wonderful. 

When we interviewed with LaShay'e we felt an immediate connection.  LaShay'e created a space where we felt safe to be open and honest with our feelings, expectations, our past experience with pregnancy and loss and questions not only surrounding our upcoming birth of our son, but also my trauma triggers and how we were going to handle those.  My husband and I felt incredibly confident that we were going to be in very good hands when we hung up on that call. 

LaShay'e then came to our home armed with knowledge, compassion, joy, and warmth.  She spent time going over in detail how she was going to support us and how she was going to make this journey not only incredibly special but also ensure that it was exactly how we wanted it to be.  And when the time came she was there to ensure everything we talked about happened and when plans needed to change suddenly she was there to help guide us in making informed decisions and making sure we were confident in the new plans moving forward.  After our son was born she stayed and made sure I was comfortable and also supported my husband.  

LaShay'e is a beautiful soul and we couldn't imagine going through the birth of our son without her.  She now feels like a part of our family.  I appreciated how often she checked in with me leading up to the birth and after, ensuring we felt supported with anything we needed.  I highly recommend hiring LaShay'e for your birth journey and know she will go above and beyond for you and your family.

For me Lashaye was the perfect Doula. I’m 36 and she helped bring my first baby into the world. I wanted to have a home birth but was also aware of a need to be flexible and prepared for the unknown. I did have an unmedicated home birth but also ended up needing to be transferred to a hospital due to the unforeseen. Lashaye’s 20+ years in the medical profession, her connection to Swedish hospital and our previous conversations and plan made it so I had an anchor to orient myself during a crisis. She is warm, spiritual, grounded, experienced, professional , direct and gentle. My son will knows her name and the story of one of the amazing women who made sure him and his mom made it through the birthing process.

LaShaye did a wonderful job helping me before, during, and after the birth of my child!

Lashaye is a compassionate, attentive, and experienced doula. I felt very comforted by her years of experience and knowlegde. Our meetings where a combination of learning, reassurance, and a good laugh. Everytime I interacted with Lashaye I learned something new about the birthing process and or newborn care. Lashaye always had and activity or class ready for me participate in, and  LaShaye has a great personality and is definatley a people person.

She made it a priority to hear me out on my birth plan expectations, especially as a woman of color, as well as guide me in the right direction on things I had questions about. She was great at engaging and including my husband before and during the labor, which was important to me. 

I would 100% recommend Lashaye as a doula she is a great resource and an awesome person!

I met LaShaye at Swedish Family Medicine after I walked out of my doctors appointment and she was working advocating for another pregnant patient. I was to be admitted and induced in three days and stressed out. I asked her who she was and what does she do for Swedish cause I needed the help and attention she was giving the other pregnant lady. This was my first birth and the only support I had was my mom. We had a conversation about doula's and she mentioned the benefits of having one,  and what services she provide. She was heading out of town and I explained what was going on with me. She was able to take me as a client and was there for me for the remainder of my pregnancy . She checked on me everyday and made sure I had everything I needed while she was out of town. The day before my induction she came and spent 4-5 hours reviewing a great deal of helpful information that I found very useful while I was in active labor. I went natural with her assistance. She did exercises with me and helped me feel as comfortable as possible. She helped me push through my labor and encouraged me during the most difficult time. LaShaye still from time to time calls or sends a message to check on me and my son. After I had my baby LaShaye continues to send me to send me classes to benefit me and my baby. Last but not least LaShaye is a very loving professional and she is concerned about me as a person, my well being and mental health. LaShaye was an amazing doula and I would definitely recommend her to anybody looking for a doula.
