Testimonial for Denise Bolds MSW, CD(DONA) CLC, CBE
I had the pleasure to work with Denise for the birth of my first baby this June (2018). She is an amazing person and a very professional doula who supported me through my journey during pregnancy and played a very important role during the birth of my son. Both my husband and I are very grateful she was with us during my labor - not only to support me throughout the process but also guiding us to make the best desitions.
My labor was very long and Denise was with us the entire time, supporting us and giving us an amazing energy. She also played a very important role in communicating our borth plans to the nursing staff. I ended up having an unplanned c-section and she stayed to make sure the baby and I were okay. She also came to visit the next day and taught me how to breastfeed.
Honestly, I'm not sure I would've been able to do it without her. Her sweet and calming personality, combined with her knowledge of birth were essential to my husband and me. She gave us great tips on how to manage pain, knew different positions that would help the baby descend and overall, set a great vibe in the room that helped me during those long hours. The hospital's staff wasn't very good at communicating but Denisse always knew what was going on and explained the situation to us, guiding us to make the right desitions.
I feel Denisse is part of our family now and are really appreciative of her knowledge and professionalism, how supportive she was and her sweetness. She truly made our birth experience better and we loved having her there during such a special time in our lives. I would recommend her blindly to anyone.
