Testimonial for Laurie Levy
Laurie was a huge part of my sanity and success in birthing my second baby. I had a complex and scary pregnancy, with a three-night stay in Antepartum and another two visits to Triage. We faced potentially losing the baby and later, the reality of a very fast delivery at 34 weeks, and having a 10 day NICU stay. Laurie offered to come to all of these "scares" and we took her up on two of them.
She came to visit me in antepartum providing me with little massage, levity and counseling and she came in for one of our two other traige visits. She proactivity, with my permission, checked in with me after doctors appointments and as labor continued to burn slow and long for 6 weeks. We felt fully supported those weeks of labor and early on, sitting with the possibility of baby coming so soon as to be a pregnancy loss. She was like another member of the family.
Without her talking to me, I would have delivered in the car and been really distressed. With her emotional and practical support, I was able to be in a place of confidence and strength despite immense pain. She helped remind my husband to call ahead to Traige.
She was also a big emotional support to me and my husband when our daughter had to go into the NICU and in our transition home. Having a professional to text and ask questions was invaluable. Because I delivered so quickly, and she arrived after the baby she put in extra effort to provide a SECOND massage in home that really helped me to relax after such a traumatic time for me.
Throughout, she kept us laughing, was excellent company, was a great listener, and an advocate for us in the hospital and was a second mom around. She anticipated and offered to help us unprompted; which for me, is the best service of all. "Yes, I do want some water, thank you." "Yes, I would love you to come give me a massage." She was absolutely invaluable in our birth experience. I recommend her to anyone.
