Testimonial for Leslie Cuffee
Some people choose a professions because of something they enjoy, and they do well. However it is very rare to find someone who not only enjoys their work, but also seems called to do their work. Those rare individuals who have a natural gift for what they do far exceed the level of skill and ability of peers in their field. And that is Leslie when it comes to being a Doula. Leslie is compassionate, kind, caring, and sincere. Her natural skill surpasses that of any mere book learning, or knowledge gained from a classroom experience, Leslie lives her job.
During our pregnancy, Leslie was always either a phone call or message away. Willing to answer even some of the oddest of questions, offer encouragement and guidance throughout every turn, twist and bump in the road of our pregnancy. And when the day finally came and the labor began, Leslie was there when we needed her. She gave to the hectic hospital atmosphere a sense of serenity and a calmness we both thought relieved the stress.
Even though the baby ended up needing to be born via caesarean, Leslie never faltered. She joined us in the O.R. and in there helped to bring a sense of calm to the atmosphere. Helping keep us focused and aiding us in understanding and coming to terms with what was going on. I don't see how we could have done it without her. Her help was immense. Her gentleness and compassion and genuine caring is something I don't think any parents to be should be without.
There are many Doulas out there, and many are friendly and nice, but there is only one Leslie, and I can't do enough recommending of what a great Doula she is! Thank you Leslie!
