Testimonial for Lauralee Lightwood-Mater, CD(DONA)
Being a bit older with our first child on the way was immensely stressful, scary, and unknown. Lauralee treated us with concern, caring, and knowledge. I learned more from 2 hours with her than I have in most of the things I have read. My fears have been lessened and my anxiety about being a new father has been lessened, too. In the days of Covid, I have not been allowed to most of my wife's appointments, so I know only what I read about. Hearing ways to advocate for my spouse and our soon-to-be child was so nice to know and learn with her. She teaches in such a loving way. I feel like her approach is to assume that each child being born is going to be in her life forever, therefore she treats each client like a lifelong member of her family.
I appreciate all that she has done. The doula class over zoom could have been boring, unfulfilling, or misinformed, but it was fun, educational, and engaging the entire time. I would recommend Lauralee if you are looking for a caring and knowledgeable new friend to go through the birthing process with you.
