The following words will not adequately describe my experience of Laurie as our Doula. Throughout the birth and postpartum, Laurie was open, available, supportive, and beyond caring. Her kindness and strength helped to make me birthing process an unbelievable and amazing experience. During the pregnancy Laurie made ever effort to get to know me and my husband and what both of us were expecting during the birth. The morning my water broke I couldn't wait to call Laurie to let her know. Throughout the day she kept in touch but allowed my husband and I the space to process what was happening and what we needed. When things started to progress Laurie was there every step of the way. I was amazed at how attuned she was to my needs and what type of support I would most respond to. Laurie was an amazing blessing during the entire process and her support didn't stop there. Laurie stayed a week after the birth to support all of us as we stepped into our new lives. She was always there to offer advice, techniques, and support through the new transition period. I could not have asked for anyone better than Laurie to journey along this path with. She brought more love, support, and strength then I would have ever known to ask for.
