Testimonial for Nicole Lakey Body Ready Method Pro
Nicole was extremely influential on the outcome of my birth experience! Due to her help, I was able to have the unmedicated hospital birth that I wanted.
We chose to work with Nicole because of her professional medical background and expert knowledge of mother and baby's anatomy. The two sessions we had with her before labor where amazing. She helped both me and my husband articulate our fears and what we wanted from the birth experience. Through her honesty and heartfelt emotion, he felt so much more prepared and fully supported. I came away with practical exercises to do to help position my baby and prepare for labor.
My water broke without contractions in a case of PROM. She guided my husband and I through the decision making process about medical interventions at the hospital. Talking with her gave me the confidence to advocate for the birth that I wanted. Even though she was double booked that day at another birth, she was always very responsive over the phone.
When she arrived during my labor, she was able to assess what stage I was in and when to go to the hospital. She was totally hands on; the pressure she put on my pelvis made a huge difference during my contractions. At the hospital, my husband says it felt like she was in charge of the room to help create the birth experience we wanted. She coached me through specific positions and breathing during pushing.
After the birth, she provided photos, video, and great recap notes. We debriefed and she answered any questions I had about baby care. I would have probably had a very different medicated birth if it weren't for Nicole and her help with preparation and advocacy! I recommend her with all my heart!
