Testimonial for Lisa Anderson, CD(DONA)
Having Lisa as my doula in December 2021 was a great blessing that had a significant positive impact on my experience giving birth to my first baby. When we initially spoke I got a sense of her ability to encourage, guide, calm and reassure women as they prepare for and experience childbirth. I was impressed with how available and responsive she was leading up to the due date and she provided excellent insight while I was in early labor that helped us decide to go to the hospital at the perfect time. Lisa was very prepared and prompt when it was time to go. She was familiar with protocols at my hospital, interfaced confidently and respectfully with staff, and assisted as I was being admitted. Lisa helped me with good positions, vocalizations, and labor techniques in the hospital. Probably most importantly she gave me assurance throughout that things were going well when I otherwise might have wanted to panic or give up, and she made me feel like I could do it! I had hoped to give birth without pain medication if possible and Lisa definitely played a large role in me persevering, but I would have loved to have her with me even if I had different goals. I was very happy she was with us and would recommend her to others.
