Testimonial for Laura DePasquale, CD(DONA)

I first met with Laura because I had a doula with my first baby in Texas and wanted the support with my second baby’s birth in NJ. What I didn’t realize at the time is how she would help me find the right OB/GYN practice for me, a loving group of midwives, a team of therapists to help with positioning and relieve pain, and ultimately a safe place for me to give birth during a unforeseen global pandemic. I’m sitting here holding my sweet baby girl in tears thanking God for Laura because I know my outcome would be completely different if she didn’t come into my life. I am truly grateful for her, for coaching me through thinking about a more positive birth experience with my second child, providing emotional support and knowledge to guide my preparation for birth, giving me guidance on how to navigate childbirth having a previous orthopedic condition, and making sure my husband and I were strong together. She connected me with an amazing myofascial therapist and chiropractor to help with the pain of carrying a baby with a hip condition and to ensure proper positioning of my body in alignment with my babies for a quicker, less painful birth. My first child was born in 25 hours, I pushed for over 3 hours. With Laura and her team of amazing practitioners, I was in active labor for 3 hours and I pushed for 20 minutes. I recommend Laura to anyone, especially those dealing with emotional/physical stress and pain from previous births and medical history.
