Testimonial for Laura DePasquale, CD(DONA)
I don’t know where to begin but to say I am beyond grateful to have met Laura and to have chosen her as my doula.I knew from the very beginning Laura would be the woman I would want along side me as we prepared for the birth of our little girl.My husband and I took birthing classes with Laura which were so helpful. The classes were informative and it also gave us a peace of mind. I wanted an all natural birth but there were times along the way that I would doubt myself.Laura would remind me that “we women are strong and we can do this”. This was so true and it became the statement that would play over and over in mind the day we went into labor. I was 11 days late and had to be induced.We got to the hospital and had a room with no tub and no wireless monitors. Unbeknownst to me my husband had already spoken to Laura who instructed him to have us moved and get me on wireless monitors.One call to Laura and she was on her way. I felt such relief once Laura arrived. She had me on the medicine ball walking around dancing with my husband playing music in the tub, and more.I don’t always express what I’m thinking but this didn’t stop Laura from knowing exactly what to do to help me.My labor stalled and Laura knew exactly what to do to help move things along. Laura never once expressed concern. During one of the most crucial moments of my laborI was ready to give up Laura leaned over as I was in the tub, hugged me and reminded me that “we women are strong and I can do this”.I felt this incredible strength come over me and I knew we were going to get through it. I couldn’t wait to hold my baby girl.I could truly go on forever.If you have read this far, thank you, but most importantly I can promise you that you will be making the best decision of your life by calling Laura. Laura has been chosen by God to do exactly what she is doing. She empowers women and is incredibly supportive of their partners. Best of Luck!
