Testimonial for Lauryn Valladarez
My husband and I decided to choose Lauryn mainly because the fact that she is bilingual (we both speak english but spanish is our primary language), her being fluent in spanish made us feel so much more comfortable and allowed us to establish a better connection/relationship with her as this was our first baby and we didn't truly know what to expect as we wanted a natural birth, without any medication/anesthetics/narcotics. Another thing we really liked was the fact that she is very knowledgable in topics we had an interest in, such as cloth diapers and breastfeeding. She also has a great personality and is super friendly, making us feel very comfortable and confident. She was always available whenever we needed to reach out to her to ask her questions and/or to keep her updated. During the transition from early labor to active labor, she arrived at the hospital promptly and ready to assist both me and my husband, using breathing/relaxation and visualization techniques, massage, position changes, and when I would start to lose focus due to the contactions Lauryn would bring me back, and when it was time to push she guided me to push correctly and efficiently. Lauryn performed such a great job that evening that she even received kudos from my midwife. I would definetly recommend Lauryn for your doula needs.
