We met Lori pretty late in our pregnancy due to us not being sure if we wanted to go with a doula or not. In the end, we were beyond grateful that we did. We did meet with several doulas, and from our meeting, we felt Lori's personality was a great fit for both my partner and myself. She's very knowledgeable and experienced, and was also available during our EDD. She was such a great support during the early early stages of labour; she was so easy and approachable with any little questions, whether I felt stupid to ask them or not. She was so personable and such a great support, especially throughout the entire labour and delivery. Despite the reassurance of my partner and the prep we had with classes and talking with Lori, I still felt anxious leading up to the delivery; but Lori was ever so supportive and present that she eased all that anxiety and tension for both myself and my partner. She provided tools to help with the early early stages of labour, and even with over a week after being home do my partner and I talk about how grateful Lori was there to guide and support us during this new experience! Because of her, she made our birthing experience such a pleasant experience! I would totally recommend her to anyone even considering a doula!

I first met Lori pretty late into my pregnancy, at the recommendation of my midwife. From the first conversation, I felt such a connection to Lori. During our first two meetings, she was such a wealth of knowledge. She made me feel such power over my birth and that I was allowed to have the birth that I wanted, and gave me confidence to advocate for myself, my body, and my baby. She was available whenever I needed her. And most importantly, she was there for the birth of our daughter. My labour was unexpectedly quick, with fast, intense contractions, and Lori was right by my side with my husband talking me through each one. And in the quick turn of events as my daughter couldn't wait to arrive, Lori was the one to catch and deliver her. She was right by my side for the aftercare, and made me feel so safe. She's kept in touch during the postpartum phase, and has just been amazing. I highly recommend her, as she is an amazing advocate to have by your side in pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
