This review is much overdue. I had my daughter with Lauren in January of 2022. I was her first (successful, yay!) TOLAC/VBAC! It was my second child, but I appreciated all of the advice and handholding especially on D-Day. She even put a personal touch to my birth, being there as the main supporter of my birth while my husband was looking for a sitter to watch over our first kiddo (we had recently moved to LA, and did not have family or close friends to have to watch over our son at odd hours of the night).
While I was interviewing doulas to help me get over my traumatic first birth + succeed in my TOLAC goal, I had my mind set on what kind of doula I was looking for (ie must have previous TOLAC experience, should have x number of births under her belt, etc), but she put me at ease over the phone, I forgot about my list and went with my gut and chose her. And I am so happy I did!
