Testimonial for Lauralee Lightwood-Mater, CD(DONA)
We can't say enough how much we enjoyed Lauralee as our doula. She brought so much knowledge to us and comfort, her passion for her job is something everyone should hope for in their doula. I was confident going into labor and delivery, just because I was excited for the experience of giving birth. My husband and I had talked it over,I told him I wanted to attempt an epidural free labor, and to have a doula at our birth. In our search for a doula we stumbled upon Lauralee, after our interview with her, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. Lauralee provided us with childbirth education before the big day, she taught us in a way that made talking about our birth fear-free, and prepared (as prepared as we could be ;)) When the big day came, shortly after arriving at the hospital, the pain of contractions really started to kick in, Lauralee assisted me via phone call to get through the beginning phases of birth. After some time in the laboring tub, Lauralee joined Stevey and I at the hospital to get through the rest of our birth. Lauralee was essential to getting our little man earth side. She not only was our doula but became our friend through the process. We felt like Lauralee was just such a comfort to have during this huge moment in our life, which is something that you truly can't put a pricetag on. I was able to go without an epidural, but when I was ready for some relief, Lauralee helped to explain all of my options to assist with pain management. Once it was time to push, Lauralee reminded me of all of the different positions I can birth in, which helped bring my baby to me sooner. We are so thankful to Lauralee for her services, our family will always be thankful for your help in making the experience of becoming parents be enjoyable and memorable. We will always remember our first birthing experience as positive, and we have to give a huge amount of credit to Lauralee!
