My husband Jack and I knew early on we wanted a doula to attend our birth. Upon meeting Doula Lulu, we knew immediately we wanted her to be by our side during the birth of our first child. Her attention to detail, kindness, compassion, and knowledge eased much of our anxieties. Looking back, and in talking to Jack about our birth experience, we both agree we would not have made it through the birth without Lulu. The birth was long- approximately 44 hours- and ended in an emergency cesarean and our son had to be life-flighted to Bangor EMMC where he stayed in the NICU for 15 days. For those 44 hours, Lulu was right by my side, right by Jack’s side. She was a constant, a force to be reckoned with, a star shining through the pain. She not only took care of me, but she also took care of Jack, she reminded him to take breaks, take a walk, drink water and eat. Time and space had no meaning, but Lulu was there through it all, she held my hand, held my body, and made me dance and laugh. Lulu was my voice when I could not speak, she was my advocate when I could not advocate for myself. After bringing our son home from the NICU, Lulu was one of the first people I wanted our son to meet. She holds such a special place in our hearts, and I consider her part of my family. Lulu goes above and beyond for her clients, and being a doula is what her soul was made for. We also had Lulu as a post-partum doula for the “fourth trimester” and it was an incredible thing to have. Her knowledge of herbs, nourishment, nursing, and mental health was incredible. I give Lulu credit for me being so successful in being able to breastfeed my son. She was confident but soft, comforting and hilarious. We extended our post-partum services with Lulu because of how incredible she was. I am so lucky to have had Lulu during my pregnancy, birth, and post-partum. She truly is magical.

Lulu has been an incredible help as our postpartum doula. My healing postpartum has been complicated and my husband and I did not anticipate such a long recovery. Our situation is a little different with my husband working from home and Lulu adapted her care to help carry us all through this harder postpartum recovery time.

Lulu has not only been a huge support in terms of helping to take care of our household, she is also a wealth of knowledge and is extremely compassionate in how she approaches this work. She is able to come in, see what needs to be done and does it, along with making sure you are well nourished and cared for.  It has been a huge relief to have that help postpartum. She cares deeply for her clients, and we truly do not know how we would gotten through this postpartum journey without her. I can't recommend Lulu enough, and we will miss her as we phase out of our time with her.

We knew at the end of this journey that we would have the gift of a lifetime with the birth of our first child, a baby girl. But what we didn't expect, or frankly could have even imagined, was another gift and that was having Lulu enter our lives. I wish for everyone going through their birthing journey to have someone as wonderful and as caring as Lulu. She was such a calming presence and exactly what we needed to welcome our daughter into this world. Lulu is grounded and nurturing. She is knowledgeable and tailoring. She knew what we needed before we did and was by our side throughout the entire birth. I wish that having a doula was standard practice for all births and anyone would be beyond lucky to have that doula be Lulu. We could not have done it without her and will forever be grateful to her and her family.

We asked Lulu to help us with post-pardum care after my second c-section. She integrated seamlessly into our household and allowed us to recover much faster while feeling well cared for. Lulu helped us to find rest where it made sense for us, whether it was doing dishes when the dishwasher broke, fixing stores of snacks for around the house when we ran out of snacks, or making dinner so we could spend time playing in the snow with our 3 year old. I also appreciated Lulu's practical nursing advice (especially for a second time mom) and her excellent cullinary skills. Lulu truly has the tools and compassion to assist mothers and families durring the important post-pardum phase!
