Testimonial for Laurie Levy
We were lucky to have two wonderful birth experiences with Laurie as our doula! She is down-to-earth, a wealth of knowledge, funny, thoughtful, and able to communicate beautifully with nurses, doctors, and clients alike. Laurie was originally recommended to us by friends and we interviewed her along with two other doulas. When we met Laurie, we knew we had found our doula - she balances being wonderfully kind and caring with great professionalism. We felt heard: this was so important! She met with us and helped us discover what was most important to us about our birth experience. Then, she echoed back to us what she had heard at different times in the process. She did not have her own agenda or make us feel pressured to do things a particular way. For our first birth, what was most important to me was that I feel I could make each decision in a calm way. Laurie supported that 100%. Our first birth experience included a long pre-labor, long labor, pushing, and then an urgent c-section. Throughout every step, I felt I made each decision with clear thinking and support. We were hoping for a VBAC for our second. We had learned so much from her the first time, we initially felt we did not need a doula. Then, we decided, near the end of pregnancy, to contact Laurie again: she was amazing. Met with us and got up to speed with what we wanted and needed from her. Then, at the last minute, we had a planned C-Section. Laurie came and supported us throughout the procedure, which was SUCH a positive experience. Laurie kept me informed of what was going on throughout and helped make sure my baby was on my chest as soon as possible after delivery (within 4 minutes). Both of our birth experiences were special in their own way and having Laurie there with us was priceless.
