Testimonial for Lisa Shire, CLE, CD(DONA)
Working with Lisa was outstanding. Although this was our third birth and knew what to except, I had hopes to go as long as I could without pain meds. Lisa was there each step of the way: Meeting with us twice to plan how we wanted the birth to take place, providing information on what to expect with the birth - being that our middle child was born 8 years previous and helping to organize a birth plan. The night I went into labor Lisa was available right away though we asked her to hold off until we were admited. During labor she was amazing in helping me work on my breathing, and keeping me distracted. At 9CM I opted for an epidiral for pushing and never felt pressured to alter that descision, which I greatly appreciated. Lisa was also great helping my husband be the support that I needed during my 9 hour labor.
After our son was born, Lisa came by 3 days later to see how we were doing. She was able to help with my breastfeeding questions along with give suggestions on lactation consultents.
If we have another child we will make sure that Lisa is there for the ride! Outstanding support and very down to earth doula!
