Testimonial for LeNay Graham CD(DONA), CLD Woven With Grace LLC

As first time parents, my husband and I knew we'd feel more comfortable with the support of someone who has been through many births before. When I first started researching doulas, I was impressed by LeNay's background and testimonials from clients who had worked with LeNay in the past. We scheduled an introductory phone call with LeNay and as soon as we started talking, I knew we'd hire her as our doula! LeNay has such a comforting, knowledgeable, reassuring presence that just "clicked" with us right away. A few weeks later we met up with LeNay and it was such a natural, easy conversation that helped put our minds at ease. We learned so much from her in that conversation alone, and she followed up in the weeks leading up to birth with lots of informative tips/advice, articles, videos, etc. and answers to our questions. When I went into labor, LeNay was in constant contact with recommended positions, breathing, techniques, and advice based on my contraction patterns. I wanted to labor at home as long as possible before going to the hospital, so having this kind of constant support was so helpful to me. At the hospital, LeNay was by my side the entire time helping me through contractions, making sure I was hydrated, and being supportive through any decisions that had to be made. Looking back now, my husband and I realize how clueless we would've been if we didn't have LeNay by our side. While my husband was so actively involved in supporting me throughout labor and delivery, having LeNay with us allowed him to have extra support too. When we had our little girl in our arms after a long labor and delivery, I told LeNay it was such an amazing experience, and I truly would not have felt as comfortable and at ease without her there. We would hire LeNay again in a heartbeat and recommend her to everyone!
