Every day I am thankful that Lindsey was my doula. As a first time mother, I had many questions and fears about the unknown about pregnancy and birth. Lindsey was there for me as a resource and friend and helped put my mind at ease. We had several appointments prior to birth where we discussed preferences, coping techinques, expectations, and everything in between. 

She made sure to check in with me regularly to see how I was feeling leading up to birth, which was especially helpful as someone who was about to experience it for the first time. She was easily reachable and when the time came, she quickly made it to the birth center to be there with me. It was important to me to have a positive and calming birth experience as much as it was possible, and Lindsey took all the measures to help ensure that was the case. 

While I ended up needing/receiving more interventions than I had hoped for, Lindsey made sure that we were informed along the way and always made sure to advocate for me with the healthcare professionals on my behalf alongside my partner. She worked well with my partner to make sure they were each comforting me and taking care of tasks so I was never left alone. I felt very taken care of and safe even though at times the experience itself was difficult. She was there to encourage me when I was worried I couldn't keep going, and she was very in tune with my needs and my emotions even when I wasn't myself. 

After the birth, Lindsey made sure to follow up with me regularly. She was there for me as I was adjusting to becoming a first-time mom, and gave me helpful advice and resources. The follow-ups she did with me were especially comforting as becoming a mother was all new to me. 

Overall, I can't recommend Lindsey enough as she was an invaluable presence in both my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care.

Lindsey was such an amazing integral part of my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. Lindsey is the type of person that will make you feel like a cared for family member from day one of meeting her. From the moment I met her, I instantly felt warmth and compassion from her. She has the perfect approachable personality for this type of work and is so incredibly knowledgeable, I felt like I was in such good hands, which really helped me so much when approaching the final weeks leading into my birth and then everything to follow. I really wanted to have a natural birth experience but was really scared about how it was going to go and if I would be able to handle it. I can say with 150% confidence the only reason I was able to achieve the birth experience I wanted was because of Lindsey's support. She was so dedicated and such a calming and reassuring presence throughout my labor and birth. She was there through every moment by my side holding my hand, giving me pelvic pressure for pain relief for every contraction, providing me with anything I needed. I still get emotional to this day thinking about how cared for I felt with her there. She makes your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum process feel like such a special and sacred event for the mother just as much, if not even more than for the baby, which is SO important. Many moms will lose grip on remembering that their needs are extremely important during these times. I also have to say for anyone who is debating on whether they need a doula or if it's a right fit for them, that Lindsey is SO RESPECTFUL to whatever birth experience you are looking for. She would have supported me if I wanted ALL the pain interventions medicine can provide, what matters most to Lindsey is that I am heard. I hope that many many more mothers get to have the amazing experience of working with Lindsey in the future because she is so special I feel honored to have had her in my life. <3
