Testimonial for Lisa Shire, CLE, CD(DONA)
Lisa was absolutely great during our pregnancy, our birth in the hospital and once home. She has a wonderful complimentary skill-set and was very knowledgeable. Her extensive experience was really valuable to us. She came over in the middle of the night once labor was underway, and was incredibly helpful in managing the pain and nausea before heading to the hospital. She helped turn our daughter from OP to OA at home and in the hospital--which allowed labor to progress much more quickly and successfully than it would likely have otherwise-- and continued providing care and support once in the hospital and after the epidural. She was always incredibly open and supportive of whatever we wanted--as she said numerous times, birth should not be a traumatic experience, and her job is to help make sure of that--and even once we had opted for the epidural, she remained incredibly engaged and proactive. After delivery, she was incredibly helpful with getting breastfeeding going, and stopped by to see us in the hospital the next morning too. Our birth wouldn’t have been the same without her timely advice and experience. We chose Lisa after finding her on doulamatch.net and recommend her highly.
