Testimonial for Laurie Levy
I cannot say enough about our extremely positive and outstanding experience with Laurie Levy. She was a key component to making our birth experience such a magical one and we are incredibly grateful for meeting her and having her at our birth. Prior to the birth, Laurie was gifted in her ability to help us trust her, as well as identify our needs, fears and desires for the birth of our baby girl. She approached our relationship with careful thought, a sense of humor and a strong ability to support us in the variety of ways we needed, such as helping us to understand the birth process better, as well as reflect on our own fears about the process. She shared with us her extensive knowledge and experience with the labor and delivery process and helped us think of questions and circumstances that we had not considered. In general, she allowed us to feel prepared for what was to come. During the start of laboring process, we were able to call Laurie and troubleshoot with her a bit and as soon as we wanted her at the hospital, she came. I cannot explain more extensively what an asset she was in this process- helping us to ask the questions we needed to feel comfortable, developing relationships with the key support staff in the room, including nurses and midwives, and helping my partner labor in a variety of ways to best support her at any given time. As the partner, she was able to easily teach me how to best support my wife, which was tremendously empowering for me. She encouraged us to eat, take breaks and also, when we could, truly enjoy the process. We were hesitant at first to have a doula at the birth, feeling odd that we would have a "stranger" present at such a pivitol part of our lives together but we are ever so grateful for changing our minds and meeting Laurie Levy. You would be most lucky to have Laurie at the birth of your child!
