Testimonial for Laura Griffis, Certified BRM® Pro and Spinning Babies®
Laura was an amazing support for me during the birth of my first child. My husband and I had gone back and forth on the idea of having a doula, and I was so happy when we found Laura. From our very first meeting we could tell she'd be a great match for us, especially since she is certified in Hypnobirthing and Spinning Babies. We had completed a Hypnobirthing course and were hoping to incorporate elements from it into the birthing process. It was so reassuring that she was familiar with the exercises and terminology and could help us form a plan and practice beforehand. When the baby was still in a breech position towards the end of my pregnancy, Laura taught me some Spinning Babies techniques to use at home, and he successfully flipped in time for the birth, which was a huge relief! I really appreciated that Laura was always available by phone, text, or email to answer questions or just listen when I was worrying about something. She would keep track of my doctor's appointments and check in afterwards to see how everything was going and offer encouragement. On the day of the birth, she was ever-present, but in a very non-intrusive way. She knew the perfect moments to step in and offer advice, redirection, or light massage, and also knew when to step back and let us enjoy the intimacy in what was happening. As we had discussed in our earlier meetings, she was not there to advise us medically, but when there were some scary moments requiring quick decision making, she was right by my side to offer the support I desperately needed. After the birth, several of the nurses commented on Laura and what a fantastic job she did - we couldn't have agreed more! My husband and I both strongly recommend her to anyone looking for some extra support on one of the most importat days of your life, especially if you have never been through it before. Thanks Laura, and we look forward to next time! :)
