Testimonial for Laurie Levy
Oh my gosh, where do we even start -- Laurie is just the best. My husband and I were wound pretty tight with anxiety about childbirth and how to take care of our baby once she arrived, and I feel like Laurie patiently unwound us. Before the birth, this meant talking us through -- casually! with good jokes! but still gently steering -- to help us figure out how we wanted to approach the birth. During the birth, this meant helping us to keep level heads and have a little fun with our relatively not-as-fun birth (I was induced due to surprise severe pre-eclampsia). After the birth, this meant swinging by in the middle of the night (!) to see how we were doing, and watching our five-day-old for a bit so we could get a little bit of sleep. I don't think I would have trusted anyone but Laurie with our baby at that point, and knowing that Laurie was in charge meant that I could relax and sleep for the first time since the birth. Laurie is the most open, fun, kind person, and she really gives you her all as a doula. In the end, the main thing about Laurie for me is that we trust her completely-- not just to be extraordinarily good with baby, birth, etc., but also to gently buoy us through this crazy time in our lives. Now that we're coming up for air a bit, I can really see how vulnerable we were during the birth and first few weeks post partum, and how important she was for carrying us through that time. I don't know what we would have done without her!
