Lynn was our family's doula for the marathon birth of our son, 42 weeks ago.
Lynn was a remarkable source of strength, information, compassion, humor, mothering, love, coaching, wisdom, and support throughout the entire pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period.
As a longtime doula myself, I have always understood the importance and value of having a doula by one's side, and Lynn proved that a million times over! I felt so comforted having her accompany us through the experience, and she has significantly enriched our lives forever!
Knowing that our doula was there to support us both emotionally, while also expertly supporting my wife physically, Lynn gave me the freedom to experience the birth of my son as a wife and mother, rather than as a professional.
My (rockstar, birth goddess) wife endured a grueling labor, with a protracted pitocin induction, 2 failed epidurals, 6 hours of pushing, an attempt at forceps, and an eventual cesaraean birth. We were so lucky to have Lynn there with us for those 2 long days!
Lynn was a rock for us both through the labor, and continued to be a major support postpartum. She excelled at establishing and troubleshooting breastfeeding thanks to her advanced training.
Her binder of materials, and gifts of baby onesie, and a special treat of birth photography and placenta prints (!) were bonuses on top of Lynn's invaluable service.
I cannot recommend Lynn enough, and you'd be lucky to have her!
