With this being my first child and my husband being out of the country for most of my pregnancy, I knew I wanted the support of a doula. I couldn't be happier with my choice to work with Laura. She made me feel at ease right from our first meeting with her warm and calm demeanor. The two prenatal home visits were a great time to get to get to know each other more while going over birth preferences and comfort measures. Laura answered all my questions with knowledgable insight and understanding. She was an invaulable source of kind encouragement and pointed me to helpful resources. We kept in touch regularly and I really appreciated Laura's thoughtful exchanges. She is a great listener and made me feel cared for and heard. Labor came suddenly and went quickier than I expected. Laura was a seamless part of our birth team with her gentle and confident presence. She made me feel comfortable and capable with her reassuring words and soothing touch, especially at my most vulnerable moments when I wasn't sure I could keep going. My husband also appreciated Laura's support and felt relieved to have someone there for both of us who knows what to expect during labor. Laura was outstanding and I whole heartedly recommend her!
