Testimonial for Denise Bolds MSW, CD(DONA) CLC, CBE
It was one of the best decisions to hire Denise as both birth and postpartum doula. She had been instrumental at altering the course of my pregnancy at the most critical time, which resulted in the best possible outcome for our family. Denise was able to maintain the delicate balance of fostering independence and providing guidance to my husband and me as first time parents. During labor she was by my side and was the only one who could help me get through the pain while effectively collaborating with the rest of the medical team. At the hospital she advocated for non-medical interventions (when appropriate and safe) to minimize chances of complications for me and the baby. She made sure that I understood the options offered by the medical team and asked for clarifications as needed. Overall she provided an assertive and calm presence that tremendously helped with the more challenging parts of labor.
I can’t imagine what this journey would have looked like and felt like if we didn’t have Denise by our side, supporting, guiding and providing constant encouragement. My husband and I loved her positive energy and passion! She is fantastic at supporting partners as well!
Not to mention that we will forever cherish photos she took of us during the delivery!
