My husband and I had an incredible experience with Laura! We had our first interaction with Laura when we took her birthing and newborn care classes through KOP Doulas. We loved the course and walked away with not only a thick packet of resources that we frequently refer back to, but more confidence as first time parents.
After these courses we were informed that our hospital was allowing doulas in the hospital again and we were very excited to hire and work with Laura during the last month or so of my pregnancy. Laura was wonderfully attentive, texted me daily to see how I was feeling and answered any questions I might have. Being a first time mom can be nerve wracking and I found it so comforting having a person who I could ask all of my questions to who not only provided me with information but also articles, podcasts to listen to, and research to back up her advice.
During labor Laura was absolutely invaluable to us. She helped me make the most of every contraction, moving me in different positions to help get my baby down and out quickly and safely. I had not planned to have an epidural but after an hour or two of intense back labor I finally had to make the decision to have an epidural. I wasn’t sure how much Laura would be able to help me once I was stuck in the hospital bed, but she continued to have me work with the contractions by moving me into a few different epidural-safe positions. Laura had spent so much time getting to know me and what I wanted out of this birth experience that even after I had changed the plan she supported me and helped me have an extremely positive experience.
To anyone looking for doula services I highly recommend Laura. She is knowledgeable, kind, supportive, and even after giving birth she continues to be a person I can reach out to with questions. We will 100% be hiring her to help us deliver all of our future babies!
