Testimonial for Lindsey van der Lee CD(DONA) || CYT 250+
Lindsey was my doula, as a first time mother. My partner and I were planning a hospital birth with our midwife and I had been encouraged to find a doula by my other mom friends. To be honest, when I imagined my baby’s birth i wasn’t sure how much of a role I envisioned a doula playing as I am a very private person and anticipated my labor to be a private experience shared with my partner until it was time for the midwife to join us. Despite this, Lindsey and I had a great first meeting and I was welcoming of having the additional support at my fingertips.
Having Lindsey’s support during my labor and birth ended up being the single best decision I have ever made that was exclusively for ME.
Lindsey has an incredible intuition for exactly what is welcome, wanted and needed in any given moment; whether that is to allow space or to offer physical support. I had no idea how much I would rely on her support in the moment.
In the end my planned hospital birth was a quick arrival by baby at home in the shower and while my partner dealt with informing our midwife (and EMS) Lindsey ensured I was never alone and held space in the best possible way for me.
This is her most incredible talent; to sense exactly what YOU need in the moment. She really is a superwoman and I cannot fathom how my birth experience would have been, without her. Thank you Lindsey for sharing this incredible experience with us, we are forever grateful and I am forever bonded with you in love and sisterhood.
