Testimonial for Laura Fortner, CD(DONA)

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience with Laura as our doula and cannot recommend her services enough. As first time parents, the pregnancy and labor experience was comparable to the blind leading the blind with me and my husband. Laura acted as our coach, our mentor, and our guiding light through pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum.

Laura was readily available through text message and phone calls throughout my entire pregnancy. She never once made me feel silly or like I was an inconvenience for the numerous questions and concerns that I had. Her knowledge and expertise were a godsend at times when I was anxious about certain feelings or things going on in my body.

At 37 weeks into my pregnancy my husband and I were confronted with a situation with our OBGYN that did not make us feel comfortable to continue with her as our provider. However, we felt it was too late in the game to make a switch. Laura empowered and ensured us that it was not too late and because of her guidance, knowledge, and connections, we ended up at a practice that we absolutely love and the type of delivery I wanted to have.

My husband and I are firm believers that Laura's presence at our delivery is the reason why we were able to have a natural delivery. She is so knowledgeable and supportive and my husband and I both leaned on her to guide us through the delivery of our little girl.

I absolutely recommend Laura's services! You will be in the best hands! :)
