Testimonial for Sasha Lazare, CD (DONA)
Sasha was an amazing support to my husband and me throughout my pregnancy and during the birth of our daughter. I was a bit hesitant to hire a doula, as I wasn't sure it was necessary since I liked and trusted my medical team. I also was planning to have an epidural and felt a lot of doulas push for non medicated births. However, hiring Sasha was one of the best decisions I made in pregnancy and I truly can't imagine my birth without her. I wasn't sure what to expect in childbirth as a first time mom. Sasha reassured me every step of the way. In the last few weeks of pregnancy Sasha and I texted every couple of days to discuss any changes I was feeling and to provide encouragement. I was so glad I had Sasha on my team when my water broke, as she provided great advice throughout the early hours of labor before arriving at the hospital. She beat us to the hospital and provided such amazing support throughout labor and delivery. I hadn't realized how little the nurses are in the room with you during labor so to have Sasha there to support me (and my husband!) was critical to making me feel safe and supported throughout labor. I truly don't know how we would have done it without her. In addition to support during labor and delivery, she was very helpful in discussing a birth plan, how to manage early labor and came over for a post-birth session to check in. She was a safe place to discuss my feelings about pregnancy and birth and supported me throughout the journey in every way. I cannot recommend Sasha highly enough!
