Testimonial for Lisa Shire, CLE, CD(DONA)
I went into my first birth experience with a certain idea of how I hoped it would go. When complications took my pregnancy and birth in a different direction, Lisa helped me keep my priorities and values at the forefront, reminding me, “There’s no wrong way to give birth.” Her practical, experienced, and judgment-free approach made me feel so empowered and level-headed throughout the entire process. My husband and I also appreciated how familiar she was with resources and procedures at Swedish, which made her a seamless part of our care team. Days after our daughter arrived, Lisa provided a write-up of the birth story based on her notes from while I was in labor. This written record was so valuable in helping me remember and process the event. Even with complications, my birth experience was incredibly positive, thanks in large part to Lisa’s support.
