Testimonial for Laura DePasquale, CD(DONA)
Laura is a gifted person. It just so happens that she's chosen to use those gifts to become the World’s Best Doula. My wife and I felt VERY fortuate to have Laura be the person guiding us through the tornado of stress that is pregnancy and childbirth. I shudder to think what it might have been like without her. In the days following the birth of our daughter, my wife and I were left asking ourselves two questions: 1-How the heck do we take care of this child? and 2-Does this mean we don’t get to hang out with Laura anymore? Trust me, it will only take a few minutes into your first meeting with Laura for you and your spouse to give each other that quicklook that silently says “YES, WE NEED HER WITH US.” Laura will almost immediately assuage your nervousness and stress and replace it with some sort of euphoric chill, and you’ll walk out focused on nothing but how lucky you are to be having a baby. How does she do it? 1-She’s really really smart. 2-She’s really really mellow (unless your nurse or doctor is pressuring you into doing something you’re not comfortable with, in which case she is a determination personified). 3-She really loves and respects all the expectant Moms she helps, and ONLY wants what is best for you and your baby. 4-SHE’S DONE THIS LITERALLY ALMOST 1000 TIMES BEFORE! 1000! As for our specific birthing experience with Laura, I COULD go on and on about how fantastic she was, and how we couldn’t have done it without her but for the purposes of this review, I don’t need to. As far as I’m concerned, all you need to know is that, in the minutes following the birth of your healthy and beautiful child, after you’re done hugging your spouse and kissing your child on the head, you will give Laura a hug so big that you’ll surprise yourself, and she’ll hug you that big right back...So yea, give her a call and congrats!
