Honestly, I couldn't have done this without Laura.  This was my second birth but first time going for a natural birth and certainly first time going for a homebirth!  Laura was incredibly helpful during my pregnancy, the visits were vital to my confidence heading into labor and I was comforted by her frequent check ins and support as we got closer to my due date.  During labor everything went out of my head and I started to think I couldn't do it but as soon as she arrived, she calmly coached and cheered on and reminded of the tools we had practiced.  She said she has been called "the human epidural" and I 100% agree!  Keeping me focused and making me feel safe and supported at the birth was so special, I don't think it could have gone as well if I didn't have her reminding me what to do and pulling out all her tools and tricks to get through any hard moments.  Her compassion and care during pregnancy, birth and after was incredible, I am very grateful to have had her on my team.

Working with Laura was the single most impactful decision I made during my pregnancy. As a first time mom, Laura took time and care to educate and partner with me and my spouse through the pregnancy and birth process, ensuring we had the skills and confidence to begin parenthood as a team. Birth was not easy, but because Laura was with us, I felt safe and advocated for even once we reached the hospital. She was unflappable even in the face of unexpected medical complications, and was a consistent voice of calm. I cannot reccommend Laura enough.
