Testimonial for Lisa Shire, CLE, CD(DONA)
Some of our friends had recently had a baby, so when we started out hunt for a Doula, their recommendation was one of the first that we contacted. Lisa met us at our home and we immediately were drawn to her and excited to potentially have her share this experience with us. Lisa has a very calm and kind presence that made us feel at ease, we immediately trusted her and felt as though she really knew what she doing and would be a great support for us during the birth of our son.
We had two visits with Lisa prior to giving birth as well as unlimited access to Lisa for support via email, phone, etc. We felt comfortable asking her questions or an opinion. At no point did Lisa push any of her views on us but simply offered us support with articles and feedback she has seen based on her experience. This left us feeling like we could make good decisions and eased our minds on things as pregnancy progressed.
The evening we went into labor, Lisa was responsive and quick to be avialable for us in our time of need. When she arrives she was just an extension of us during this time. She helped us remember things on the way to the hospital and made us feel like we were in great hands the entire time with reassurance.
Lisa was there the entire time we were in the hospital and was always there especially if and when my husband needed a break, Lisa was always there! She was so prepared and knew all of the things I didn't even know that I needed. She helped keep me energized and hydrated with broth and water, she was positive, supportive and extremely comforting. We would not have wanted to go through the experience without her by our side!
Lisa stayed with us for a while after our son was born to ensure that we were comfortable and that our son was feeding well. We feel so fortunate to have had the experience to meet Lisa & include her in our birth. We will absolutely be asking Lisa to join us again
