I cannot begin to explain the amount of comfort, support and love that Lisa brought to not only our birth, but the weeks leading up and months after!
Through an amazing line of midwives and other doulas, we were put into contact with Lisa. With COVID she offered many different ways of meeting, but within a week was over to our house, were she answered questions we didnt even know to ask (SIDENOTE: even though I'm overwhelmingly happy of the support us pregnant women get through this process, she made sure my partner was included in everything we did. She made it clear that they would be a team to support the birth that I wanted). The simplicity of someone answering questions I never thought to ask, personally, makes me super relaxed and relieved. But then she asked us some of the best questions, the simple question of, in 3, 5, 10 years from now, how do you want to tell your birthing story. From then on it was love.
Lisa helped us prepare for our birth with stretches, exercises, we practiced different birthing positions, and different visualizations and breathing techniques. She showed videos, recommended and let us barrow books ranging from what we should expect from birth, to a biased book regarding vaccines.
Without getting to dramatic, my birth was perfect. And in no exaggeration, we owe that to Lisa. She put us in touch with our midwives, she was there through my prodromal labor, she was first to the scene when my water broke, and after 4 hours of pushing, her support and love helped me finally push our baby out into the world. I was never scared, for the entire 48 hours, not once.
We cannot thank Lisa enough for EVERYTHING.
