Testimonial for Lynzi Blacker CD/PCD(DONA)Lactation Consultant
To say I don’t know where I would be without Lynzi is an understatement. As a new mother, during the most trying pandemic times, Lynzi has been the best thing that ever happened to me. Lynzi fit so many roles – describing her as merely a “doula” does not cut it. Her shifts were mainly overnight, but she provided around the clock support. She was always accessible with advice and incredible assistance during any emergency or basic question, and she did not waste one minute of her time with us - teaching me and showing me how to care for my daughter on my own every step of the way – judgment-free, with complete patience and utter kindness. Her motto was to work her way out of a job by instilling in me the confidence and tools that I needed do it on my own. It is also important to mention that amidst these terrifying times of the corona virus, I felt so secure and comfortable with her caring for my newborn… she followed all safety protocols and social distancing guidelines. I trusted her fully – and I don’t trust easily, especially when it comes to being with the most important person in my life – my baby girl. Notwithstanding her professional demeanor and top-notch experience with babies, Lynzi is also incredibly emotionally intelligent – a trait that I wish all people in this profession ought to have but surely don’t. If only I could keep Lynzi on forever I would! Her services are truly invaluable. Anyone who gets to have her as his or her doula has certainly won the lottery.
