Testimonial for Laurie Levy
My fiance and I had initially contacted another doula but decided against her in the end because she was taking so long to get back with us and to meet with us. After my fiance and I met with Laurie in our first interview with her, we both knew she was the right one for us. Laurie spent more than an hour with us answering all of our questions- about her, the birth process, her doula experience and all of our roles. We were impressed by her knowledge and breadth of experience, both professionally and personally. At our first prenatal visit, Laurie really tried to get to know us as people and what our likes and dislikes were and I felt she was very attentive to our needs. Much to my surprise, my water broke the night after our first prenatal visit and I went into labor the next morning. Laurie was there to answer my call at 3AM and met us at the hospital later that morning. Her TENS unit was invaluable during early labor and she was on hand to give different coping suggestions, like walking or going in the tub. Her coaching during active labor was invaluable and I don't think my fiance and I could have done it without her (well we would have but it wouldn't have been pretty ;))! The fact that she is a licensed massage therapist was a bonus (and God-send) and the postpartum massage I got a week after the birth was amazing! She even brought her massage table to my house so I didn't have to leave the house! Laurie has been on hand to answer my calls and was there to check on me several times after the birth and even came over to see me (along with her adorable little boy) when I was having a breast feeding emergency. I highly recommend Laurie as a birth doula- I love her energy and spirit and sense of humor!
