Testimonial for Leslie Cuffee
Well, I, like many others, don't know exactly where to start, but I will say that Leslie was just tremendous. As a first time dad, I went to the classes and such and thought I would have a pretty good handle on things, but WOW was Leslie GREAT. She initially met us in our home and we knew it would be a good fit, from her personality to her philosophy. Also from a logistics stand point it really couldn't have worked out better. If dads are on the fence about having a Doula at all, let me just say that Leslie helped make the entire experience so special by taking some of the stress off of both of us and reminding both of us about different techniques to help things along. In the "heat of battle" it is so great to have a calming and confident influence there to focus everything. If anyone is on the fence about sharing the event with someone outside of the family, let me just say that Leslie reads everyone so well that she can feel when to be involved for Mom or for Dad, she really has a talent for the whole thing, I NEVER felt like anyone else was there, even when she was coaching and activly involved, she was just so much part of the team that it couldn't have felt more natural. From a dads stand point I couldn't say more about how much she really did to make our birth the most special moment of my life, at the same time never imposing and really feeling the entire event right along with us. Leslie is truely a very special person, and I feel so fortunate that she was there for both of us.
