Testimonial for Lynzi Blacker CD/PCD(DONA)Lactation Consultant
We decided pretty late into pregnancy to hire a doula, and so thankful that we found Lynzi! Even though I was mere weeks away from giving birth, Lynzi did an amazing job of catching us up on educational content in those short weeks, when I previously didn't know where to start. She worked with me to practice some great stretches, and different movements to prep for labor. She also knew I was feeling pretty anxious about what to expect, so she worked with us to help set realistic expectations, and give us all the knowledge to go into L&D confident and ready to go.
When it was time to go to the hospital, Lynzi was available all hours, ready to join us when the time was right. We ended up being sent home after our first hospital visit and then came back a week later (later than expected) and she was still there for us at the drop of a hat! It felt really good knowing that we weren't alone, and had someone there to help ask the right questions.
During labor, Lynzi was incredibly helpful! She knows all of the counter pressures, she helped us try different laboring positions, helped get our room into a zen space with music, lighting and essential oils. She's incredibly knowledgeable, and also was very supportive of me and my partner during this time. I eventually had an epidural, and she also helped make sure I was getting into good positions during that time to keep labor progressing. Through a very very long multi day long process, Lynzi was our rock.
If you are on the fence about hiring a doula, I strongly recommend hiring Lynzi! She's amazing, and also offers postnatal doula support as well.
