Testimonial for Gabe Lazarus, CD, CPC, HCHD
I can’t imagine our birth experience without Gabe. She managed to be the perfect combination of calm, encouraging, firm, gentle, thoughtful, flexible, and more. You can read all the pregnancy and birth books, but experience counts for a lot and that’s what Gabe provided for us. I had a scheduled cesarean for my first birth so we were first timers when it came to labor. We were hoping for a VBAC this time and felt like we would need some extra support to achieve that goal. Looking back, Gabe really had an uncanny ability to predict how I might be feeling and so she suggested strategies in a way that made me feel like we were calmly transitioning and not frantically working our way through a checklist of coping mechanisms. It was really great to not have that responsibility solely on me and my husband! My husband decided that he wanted to catch our son, so while he was down with the midwife, Gabe was up with me holding my hand or putting pressure on my back. We really enjoyed working with Gabe and highly recommend her to anyone who is ready to work with a doula!
