Testimonial for Denise Bolds MSW, CD(DONA) CLC, CBE
I wanted a doula because of my history of miscarriages. I was considered high risk due weight and my pcos.
Denise exceeded my expectations.
From the first conversation i felt safe. she listened and made she was going to be the guide i needed. I felt normal for the first time. She offered a informative breastfeeding class and resources.
I had a smooth induction. She walked me through everything they were going to do. It supposed to be 36 hours but i gave birth less than 24 hours. Once my labor started i was so scared but the moment she walked in i felt safe. She helped me breath through the contractions and listened to me When the doctor wasn't on the same page as me, She took control and got us all in sync. She has a way to help me escape the pain i was in. When she put her hand on my chest she breathed with me the courage to push. Her energy and knowledge of the process made my experience positive. It was life changing. As soon as my son was born, she helped me breastfeedshe cared for my son and even guided my husband
If i wasn't already impressed she went above and beyond during my postpartum. She did home visits and was on call all day/night to help me shift into mommy mode. I was terrified to sleep and let anyone help me. She talked to me until i was able to trust the help. she helped my mom do simple things like trim his nails and taught us to swaddle the baby.
i needed last minute donor milk 2 times and she found a way to get it for me in my time of need. Again, i don't know what i would do without her.
Every mom deserves a doula like Denise. Childbirth and being a first time mother is so difficult and having her through it all has prepared me for what's to come.
She's like the caring aunt that you want around all the time.
