Testimonial for Gabe Lazarus, CD, CPC, HCHD
Initially, Gabe was referred to us by a former doula. We met with her and from that first meeting, I saw how passionate and knowledgable she was about the birth process.
Throughout my pregnancy, I went back and forth as to whether to hire a doula or a midwife but ultimately decided to go with Gabe towards the end of my second trimester.
From the moment we hired her, she was very communicative, prompt with responses to any questions, informative, and thorough. If there was something she didn't have the immediate answer to-she'd go do some research and follow up with a recommendation or a resource to look up myself.
Gabe and I had very candid conversations about my wishes for birth and what to expect. Gabe sharded her books from her library with me which allowed me to be even more informed on the process. Although this was baby #2 there were still many things to learn and Gabe was definitely that pillar of support there from start to finish.
Throughout my birth, Gabe came when I needed her, acted as the liaison between me and the hospital staff, made useful suggestions as to what positions to try to keep the labor progressing and was the calm in the midst of what seemed like a marathon of both tense, and intense periods of labor.
Postpartum, Gabe did my Belly Binding and also showed my mom and husband how to do it to so that we could continue to make use of the practice.
In short, I highly recommend Gabe as a Doula and would hire her again if we should decide to expand our family in the future!
