Testimonial for Lisa Popp
I am so glad to have crossed paths with Lisa when I did! I wasn't actually looking for a doula, as we were planning on a homebirth with a midwife. However, some things changed during the last few weeks of my pregnancy & it looked like we would need to deliver at the hospital. I was so glad I had already connected with Lisa. I knew for sure I wanted her to attend our birth for support for myself, and especially, my husband. She was extremely helpful & supportive throughout my pregnancy- even before I had decided to hire her. When it became clear I would need to deliver via cesarean, my midwife was UTTERLY lacking in empathy & support (disappointingly). Lisa was able to commit to helping me on very short notice & with cheer in her voice the whole time. She was punctual & attentive. She was able to concisely discover & understand our wishes. I felt totally confident in her ability to advocate for us if needed. She thought of a few things we hadn't thought of ourselves, with regards to what we wanted or might encounter- which was really helpful. She was all we could have hoped for during the delivery & she stayed with us until we felt good about her leaving. After the birth of our son she has checked in with me, periodically. That has been really nice, and I of course love sending her pictures. She was also persistent, but not pushy about me reaching out to an IBCLC about our nursing journey, that seemed to be going okay, but could use a few little adjustments. I'm grateful she was giving me the nudge, as that was actually a really valuable appointment for us. She is an absolute joy & we feel blessed to have had her by our side during this time. I highly recommend her & will absolutely be calling on her again if there are any more babies in our future.
