Testimonial for Denise Bolds MSW, CD(DONA) CLC, CBE
Denise is amazing!!
I had a wonderful first birth experience and I credit it to working with Denise. Having someone with me that I new and trusted and had built a relationship with was HUGE! The medical staff at the hospital were all great, but they were all basically strangers. I had met my OB for all of 10 minutes before showing up to deliver. (Not to knock my OB practice, but like many in NYC there are several doctors and I just didn't have much of a relationship with any of them.)
For a first pregnancy, it was so helpful to have Denise give guidance and advice when I was showing early signs of labor. She let us know when to stay put at home and when things started getting more serious she came over, helped me with techniques to manage the pain of contractions and let us know when it was time to head to the hospital. She had great rapport with the medical staff and was able to translate jargon and help us answer questions as they came up.
We also took a childbirth class with her, which I would definitely recommend. If you're thinking of working with Denise, do yourself a favor and go for it!
