Testimonial for Laura Fortner, CD(DONA)
I contacted NDDA on the recommendation of a good friend that was a client of the owner of NDDA. The owner (Melissa) referred me to Laura Fortner. I hired Laura in November for a March delivery. My only regret is that I didn't reach out to NDDA sooner.
Laura was amazing. Because of my situation, including being 39 with preexisting high blood pressure, I wanted someone to assist me in labor, but had no intention of having a natural (no epidural) delivery. While many people that work with doulas do so for assistance with a natural birth, Laura was wonderful at understanding my unique needs.
She was also extremely accessible both before and after the birth of my sweet baby girl for questions- for me, most of my questions came after I gave birth. I think this is a great testament to Laura because presumably after delivery, her work is done. But that is not how she approached her service at all. My delivery was relatively quick and easy, but Laura's help and guidance throughout was wonderful. And when I mentioned her name to my OBGYN (who I adore), he knew her and had positive things to say about her as well. I highly recommend NDDA and Laura Fortner, no matter what delivery plan you have.
