Testimonial for Lola Katschke CD(PALS), PCD(NAPS), CLE, NCS
Lola was crucial to our birth story. She was kind, helpful, and enabled us to make tough in-the-moment decisions that empowered me.
Since I got pregnant for the first time and delivered during the pandemic, Lola was flexible with her prenatal consults and spent as much time with us as needed to help answer all of our questions and set me up for a successful birth. I have hypertension, and thus was induced - Lola was knowledgeable about the process, available to show up at the hospital at exactly the right time, and guided me through positions that eased contractions. She guided me to write a birth plan that informed hospital staff about my hopes for labor and put me at ease about making the right choice for my body when it came time to decide on whether or not I would have an epidural. She stayed with us throughout the whole labor and helped relieve my husband when he needed a short nap. When it came time to push, Lola advised me on a better position that helped me to not have any tearing and coached me through how to push.
During our postpartum visits, Lola helped me with breastfeeding tips and debriefed our birth story, which we found helpful since there were some complications immediately after our son was born.
Overall, I cannot recommend Lola more and would be quick to hire her again. She is warm, loving, and embraces birth empowerment as she welcomes us and we welcome her to be part of our new family. Truly, I could not have done it without her. 10/10
