Testimonial for Landon Yakovleva Birth Doula, CLEC, CST Therapist
Choosing Landon as our birth doula for our first child was the best decision my husband and I made during our pregnancy - she is so in tune with the mamas / partners she supports and invested in ensuring that we have empowering and positive birth experiences. She also brings with her a wealth of experience and knowledge and a grounding energy that helped us endure a difficult labor.
I remember feeling amazed that Landon's intuition was spot-on and she knew what I needed at any given moment, whether it was to provide counter-pressure relief (which was absolutely necessary for me to continue laboring on Pitocin without pain medication), soothing affirmations, suggestions for laboring positions, or a sip of water. Towards the end, I developed an infection and baby's heart rate started to struggle - thankfully, everything worked out and in retrospect, Landon was our guiding light that reassured us and advocated for us to make sure we understood what was happening every step of the way. I felt like we had a true advocate in the room with us that we trusted to help us ask the right questions and make decisions. Our nurses remarked that they had not seen a doula in action as effective and amazing as Landon - she is subtle and calm yet emits a powerful energy that comforted, inspired, and motivated us.
Whether you have a pregnancy that is high-risk or low-risk, are set on a doula or curious about one, are hoping for an unmedicated birth or needing help to figure out your preferences, we absolutely recommend Landon. She's phenomenal, and serving as a doula is clearly her calling - she'll provide you with intuitive support and invaluable insights every step of the way to optimize your birth experience. We're so thankful for her and although she insists that we did all of the work, we really also credit the birth of our beautiful and healthy baby girl to her being our doula. Thank you, Landon!
