Testimonial for Lauren Carrabs, CD(DONA)
Lauren invests her whole heart and soul into her work and goes above and beyond for her clients. I engaged her late in my pregnancy and only worked with her for a few weeks before I delivered, but I knew right away that I would choose her as the one support person I was allowed in L&D at the hospital. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, that meant I could not have my husband there. But despite the stress of the situation, I felt safe and supported with her by my side.
Alongside all her other commitments with family and clients, Lauren made herself extremely available for me throughout our work together. She quickly intuited my style and tailored her support to my preferences. For example, she quickly figured out that I'm a very evidence-based person, and took upon herself to send bullet-point summaries of all the research she had combed along with links to relevant studies to answer my many questions.
I had an extremely challenging VBAC and Lauren stayed by my side throughout a 13-hour labor without so much as a break for food or the bathroom. The whole time, she just kept telling me I could do it even when I didn't believe I could make it another minute! I could not have achieved my goal of an unmedicated, natural birth without her by my side. In short, she was amazing and I'd recommend her to anyone!
