Testimonial for Lauralee Lightwood-Mater, CD(DONA)
We are three weeks postpartum now and I cannot begin to place a dollar amount on the value of Lauralee’s support throughout my pregnancy and delivery. I entered into this pregnancy, my second, with PTSD from my first birth experience. This time around I was adamant that I wanted as little intervention as possible. Lauralee empowered me with science based education, so that every step of the way I felt confident and firm in my choices. Lauralee was always super responsive with any questions I had, and it felt so reassuring to have my concerns addressed with information that isn’t outdated or based on fear. Lauralee’s support during labor and delivery is steadfast and comforting without ever being imposing. She is incredibly intuitive and anticipated my needs with an innate understanding of where I was at, without me ever having to ask. I was able to turn inward and focus on my journey without feeling pressured by time or my progress. When I doubted myself she reassured me that I was capable and strong, and provided emotional support that helped me mentally traverse seriously difficult hurdles, let go of my past experiences and ultimately have the birth experience i wanted. I will forever be grateful to Lauralee and cannot recommend her services more. I wish every birthing person had access to this level of excellent care throughout their pregnancies.
