Testimonial for Denise Bolds MSW, CD(DONA) CLC, CBE
Our latest pregnancy experience was a bit different then most as we were navigating a pregnancy after infant loss. Having a doula was something of interest to me to enhance the support needed in all areas. Our experience with Denise was amazing and exceeded my expectations. She was very thorough and made us feel at ease from the moment we had our first consultation. We did interview a few other doula candidates but Denise stood far apart from the others -not only from an expertise aspect but a great sense of connection and sensitivity she had to what we were currently navigating and how she would aid in making sure our experience would be different. Aside from the one on one support, she also offered excellent workshops that provided tons of information that even as a second time pregnancy- I still gained a load of new information and access to resources that I hadn't had before. Denise assisted greatly in making my birthing experience go smoothly and I appreciate her being by my side. Especially being on call and me going into spontaneous labor a few weeks before my actual due date- Denise was the first person to be by my bed side- with all of her bag of "goodies" (essentials for labor) and keeping me at ease! Being pregnant after loss carries alot of sensitivities and stress that unfortunatly hospitals and their staff just do not pay much attention to but Denise definitely made sure to make us feel seen and heard in this process and I couldn't have asked for a better support person who was also a great advocate. No need to look any further-have Denise be a part of your care team. You won't regret it!!!
