Testimonial for Laura DePasquale, CD(DONA)
Where do I start? I felt at ease with Laura from the first telephone conversation we had. When I told my husband I wanted to hire a doula he was skeptical; he didn't understand why we would need one. After meeting with Laura, however, we both knew we wanted her at our child's birth. We also took Laura's natural childbirth class in preparation for the big day and it was incredibly useful. It was so important to me to have a natural, unmedicated childbirth and I believe that Laura was a very big part of the reason I was successful. I would recommend her to anyone- she is kind, knowledgeable and a calming presence. I went into labor in the evening and labored for ~8 hours at home before heading to the hospital; Laura was at the hospital waiting for us at 2am. Postpartum, she was able to help guide me to resources for breastfeeding which is also the reason why I am still exclusively breastfeeding my daughter at 6 months old. I will without a doubt hire her again should I plan to have more children.
