Testimonial for Lola Katschke CD(PALS), PCD(NAPS), CLE, NCS

Our family is so lucky to have had Lola by our side during pregnancy, birth and beyond! We were originally paired with a different doula but feel so blessed that a last minute, unexpected occurence led to us being supported by the best doula on the planet. My husband and I felt so supported by Lola during every step of the way – it’s so hard to imagine what will happen in the birthing suite as a first time mom, but she was extremely helpful in preparing us for all situations. Education is one of the biggest gifts she gave us, which helped us feel prepared and confident going into this new and tremendous situation.

Lola is a rockstar. When I started contractions at 2am she was there for me, even while I let my husband sleep! We worked together (along with my calls to the hospital) to find out the best time for me to go in. I was very overwhelmed with the pain and even though my plan was the labor naturally Lola was there, understanding and wholeheartedly supportive when things needed to change. I didn’t feel judged but instead felt celebrated for listening to my body and honoring my needs. I am so thankful we had someone like Lola who is ready to pivot and follow the birthing person’s need at a moment’s notice.

Every step of the way Lola was calm, encouraging, and I keep using this word but it’s the most important: *supportive*. Anything that I needed, as a nervous person in labor for the first time, Lola provided. She was (and still is!) my cheerleader and source of wisdom when I’m unsure. I was so thankful to have her arm’s length away during my birth and am still so incredibly thankful to have her just a text away during postpartum. If you are reading this review I hope you reach out to Lola so you can experience her excitement and joy around birth and babies. It is infectious and such a beautiful thing! Thank you, from all three of us, Lola!
