Hello!
When our first son was born, we were hoping for a home birth. I had read some natural birthing books and invisioned a birthing tub, surrounded by my husband, our cat and the natural sunlight of our woods. My AMA and late entry to securing a Midwife limited my choices.
Looking back, i would not change a thing. In searching for a NM, i was connected with Lori. She took us on as clients and i was so garetful. Being pregnant in 2020 meant connection was limited. Still, between our Lori's doula services and an online birthing class, we felt as connected as possible.
Lori provided us with what felt like endless information in the way of books, articles and online blogs. It all felt tailored to our individual interests. She helped us envision our journey and realize that we had the strength to make our birthing goals possible.
Lori provided us also with her time. She never once made us feel like we were asking too much. Our questions were meant with honest, easy to understand answers and evidence-based information to back it up. I really appreciated her knowledge and the practical manner in which it was presented.
Lori's kindness and calm nature is second to none. She wanted to make sure we were our own best advocates and also that we felt comfortable, prepared. Thanks to Lori we felt prepared for most anything.
That first child is now 5. He has a 9 month old brother who Lori also helped us bring into the world. We were so grateful for her help in both births. Doula must mean Angel because that is what Lori has been to us. I cannot reccomend her services more.
