Testimonial for Laura DePasquale, CD(DONA)
I have had the wonderful privilege of attending multiple births of my sisters' and friends' babies where Laura was entrusted as their doula, so when the time came for me there wasn't a doubt in my mind that I wanted her as my doula at my baby's birth, as well. I could always see what a calming and supportive environment she always brought at the previous births I had attended with her and now having gone through labor with Laura by my side, I can definitely say how thankful I was to have had her. My labour and delivery experience was even better than I had anticipated, and even when there was the possibility for a few hiccups Laura kept things moving smoothly, ensuring I was informed at all times, and truly comforting and encouraging each step along the way.
My husband and I also attended her classes, which was worth every penny! Going into labour feeling prepared, informed, and without fear is so important, and I truly feel her classes were so beneficial in all those aspects. She made me feel excited to give birth, not dread it, as is such a popular feeling nowadays associated with labour. I felt empowered by the information I had learned there.
Anyone can see that this is not just a job to Laura...this is her passion! She has such a love for what she does and it shows in how she is there for you every step of the way. When her names comes up in conversation with my family, you can almost see in our smiles that warm fuzzy feeling we all have for her...she's like family and we all say how we can't wait for another baby to come along just so we get to see Laura again soon!
