Testimonial for Denise Bolds MSW, Ed.D, CD(DONA) CPD(NBPP),CLC, CBE
Denise was truly incredible and such an important part of our birth and postpartum journey. From the very beginning, she prepared us so thoughtfully for labor and delivery through virtual classes and education that helped us feel informed, empowered, and genuinely confident going into the experience. But where Denise truly shines is in her hands on support and real world expertise.
Her knowledge is exceptional, not just about birth and babies, but specifically about navigating Mount Sinai West, which made such a difference. She had great relationships with the nursing staff, understood the hospital flow, and helped create an environment where I could focus solely on delivering my baby and feeling safe.
Before labor, she took the time to walk through our birth plan with us so we felt aligned and prepared. During delivery, her presence was grounding, reassuring, and invaluable. I truly felt like all I had to focus on was bringing my baby into the world.
And her support did not stop there. Postpartum, Denise has continued to be an incredible resource, helping us feel confident caring for our newborn, answering our many questions, offering guidance, and making herself available whenever we’ve needed support.
What makes Denise so special is not just her expertise, but how deeply she cares. By the end of this experience, she truly felt like a member of our family.
We are so grateful for Denise and cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly exceptional doula.
