Testimonial for Denise Bolds MSW, CD(DONA) CLC, CBE
Denise Bolds is a very organized and experienced Doula. She was great at communicating with me and my husband before the birth, and connecting us with resources like relaxation CD's, a list of what to bring to the hospital, pre-labor and post partum meal options, and answering any questions we had.
During my labor at home, Denise was able to guide me through my rushes and let me know that my labor was progressing. No one could have foreseen that I would have a very fast labor for a first time mother, and a surprise breech birth. It took us all by surprise including Denise! But when Denise saw merconium when my water broke, she wasted no time, getting me and my husband in our car and to the hopsital. She advocated for me to have a natural birth, but when the Dr. on-call decided it would be safer to perform a cesarian, Denise supported the Dr.'s decision and told me it was the best course of action.
After my sons brith, Denise was there with supportive words, and able to put a positive light on a pretty intense and emotional birth experience. She also created a calm enviroment for me in the hospital, and let me rest and relax.
Overall, I would say that Denise is a highly professional and dedicated doula, and a expectant mother, (especially a first time mom), would be lucky to have her at their side for their labor and delivery.
