Testimonial for Lisa Shire, CLE, CD(DONA)
Lisa was an amazing doula and we highly recommend her. Lisa met with us initially to ensure she was the right doula for us, and then had two visits prior to labor. In both visits, she answered many questions and offered a lot of information; she was willing to stay as long as we needed, as opposed to being rigidly tied to a schedule. She helped us craft our birth plan, which sadly, wasn't used as intended due to our situation. We requested her to stop by only after we were at the hospital. She was amazing at the hospital, providing pain relief prior to having the epidural replaced. The entire time, she was a great patient advocate, who really listened to us, and improved care during a very stressful time (30 hours of labor, ending in an unexpected C section). Lisa also came to our home after the baby was born, to help us through the initial troublesome time of adapting to having a newborn. Lisa provided information to us and was always available via email or phone.
In summary, Lisa was worth it. We would have been much more stressed out and frustrated at the hospital if we didn't have Lisa.
