Testimonial for Lauralee Lightwood-Mater, CD(DONA)
If there's anyone meant to be a doula it is most definitely Lauralee. As a father, I truly couldn't have asked for a better support person. Lauralee was meant to be a doula. Many people in-fact are but few are truly as special as Lauralee. My partner and I had gone to LeMaz classes, hours of baby preparation from hospital visits but once it was time for baby, it all went ou the window. There is NO GREATER FEELING than having someone as knowledgeable, patient, kind and thoughtful as Lauralee. There were a few times where I was overwhelmed with what was going on and she was quick to calm me down and keep ME focused so I could be a better support partner for my wife. Lauralee was extremely positive and a wonderful cheerleader, so to speak. She inquired about our needs and went above and beyond. She arrived every single morning, hours early at times to guide us through the day, practicing breathing, going through birthing positions, massages all with a loving heart and smile. Lauralee was the biggest reason why the birth of our child was as successful as it was. She knew my partners goals and never let her give up. She was gentle, kind but firm and solid in her energy and love. I couldn't have asked for a better doula than Lauralee. I remember just as my son was coming into the world, everything hit me and I began to cry. She said" get up over there and see your boy! He's here!" I say that to say, she was there for the both of us. I was able to support my partner better beciase of what Lauralee was able to do for my partner as well as myself. I can't express in words how special this woman is and what a blessing it was to have her as our doula. She will always have a special place in our family for the attention to detail, patience, love and knowledge, support and strength she blessed us with.
