Testimonial for Lola Katschke CD(PALS), PCD(NAPS), CLE, NCS
My husband, Matt, and I had the pleasure of working with Lola for the birth of our first child. My sister had worked with Lola a year prior for the unmedicated birth of her son--she credits Lola with helping her get through labor without an epidural which was enough of an endorsement for me.
Lola was amazing and steadfast throughout the prenatal, labor, and postpartum periods and I highly recommend her for your birthing support needs! She listens without judgement, offers feedback and tips when appropriate and helpful, and advocates for you and your family both in and out of the delivery room.
Tangible contributions:
-Prenatal home visit: Lola came and observed our baby logistics setup (nursery, sleeping, changing, feeding etc.); she offered some helpful advice about how to better arrange clothes in the nursery and having a feeding backup plan in case breastfeeding didn't work out
-Natural induction movements and acupressure points: Lola shared a handful of movements to do both solo and with my husband to make space for the baby and naturally induce labor which included acupressure points that I swear helped my baby come two days before her due date
-TENS Unit: she let us try out the TENS Unit weeks before we had our baby so we could get comfortable with it; this was INSTRUMENTAL during contractions
-Postpartum home visit: she gave some great breastfeeding and bottle feeding tips and provided closure on the whole experience
Intangible contributions:
-Helping my husband and I feel empowered in the delivery room
-Endless moral support through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum
THANK YOU LOLA!
