Testimonial for Lynzi Blacker CD/PCD(DONA)Lactation Consultant
I feel that for Lynzi being a doula is way more than a job, or even a profession, it’s a calling. She is a wonderful human being and this translates into the care that she puts into what she does, an essential aspect to be found in the person with whom you are sharing one of the most important moments of your life. In the prenatal meetings she carefully explored and explained the various stages of labor and relaxation techniques, while providing insights and advice towards the drafting of a birth plan that would mirror your specific desires and needs. Lynzi makes an effort to understand your specific situation, and she connects with the woman she is assisting way beyond the mere contingencies of the delivery. Lynzi helped and supported me during the last months of my pregnancy, tainted by a tragic family loss, and she was an invaluable partner - for me that I’m a single mother - during the days I was at the hospital before and during birth. She helped mediating with the hospital staff while morally and physically supported my decisions to resort to medical interventions for pain control. The use of the TENS machine - which is almost a rarity here but commonly used in England - was of extreme relief during contractions and the pushing phase. I am also very lucky to have Lynzi as a postpartum doula and her support and assistance in the house is key for mine and my daughter’s well-being. She gave me valuable advice on swaddling, sleeping, and breastfeeding. She helped with the first latch a few minutes after my daughter’s birth, and since then we have had no problems at all with breastfeeding, wonderful considering I can nurse just with one breast. Her professionalism and empathy are unquestionable.
