Testimonial for Lorrie Murenzi
When thinking about trying for baby #2 I started to really reflect unpack my first pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. This time around I had a better of an idea how I wanted this pregnancy and birth to go and was hoping to stick to that but I knew I’d need some help. Turns out my talented friend Lorrie is also a doula and we started our work together. Throughout the pregnancy Lorrie made me feel heard, empowered, and safe. She encouraged me to ask questions and set up routines that would protect my mental health both during pregnancy and postpartum. Lorrie also made sure Scott was included, that his voice was heard, and made sure he felt like a valued part of the team. Lorrie was available to answer all of my questions, set us up with strategies the night of my induction and was there throughout the whole process. Birth was no joke, especially with my hopes to labor without an epidural. During labor I was able to stick to my birthing plan which meant I was more present and felt so powerful. Lorrie and Scott made sure I was hydrated, that I rested when I was able to, that I was safe, and that I felt in control. It felt good to welcome Luca into a space where we could just focus on loving him. Lorrie continued to follow up with postpartum visits where she made sure I was taken care of, where she played with Grace, and checked in on Luca. This whole experience is something I’ll remember forever. For anyone considering hiring a doula, I highly recommend Lorrie. She is amazing!!
