Testimonial for Denise Bolds MSW, CD(DONA) CLC, CBE
My experience with Denise was everything I imagined and more. Before I had become pregnant it was my desire to have a doula. Hearing some of the stories about my friends' pregnancies and birth went, I felt that in order for my to have the experience I want, I am going to need help. When i became pregnant, being able to sit down and talk to a doula about how I imagined my pregnancy and birth was rewarding in itself. I really felt like I was in control and had a team to support my decisions. It helped me to feel relaxed and competent knowing that I had someone to talk to when I had concerns during pregnancy. Denise provided a lot of pregnancy and birth material which helped me and my partner prepare for the arrival of our baby. She also helped us find a breastfeeding class. My partner had never heard of a doula before meeting Denise, and the day our daughter was born he said to me, "What would we have done without her?" The day I went into labor, Denise was with me through the whole journey was really in sync with my needs. To have someone understand my desires and able to communicate for me when I had difficulty expressing myself was a real blessing. Thank you Bold Doula for helping me and my partner welcome our beautiful daughter into this world.
