I found Laurel through the Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings (BADT) website. It was really important to me to have a doula who shared my values surrounding reproductive justice and inclusivity. From our first meeting, a zoom interview to determine compatibility, I knew I had found that in Laurel. I had planned a low intervention birth center birth, which Laurel fully supported and helped my partner and me realize our expectations. She arrived at the birth center while I was in active labor, as expected - we thought I would give birth shortly after, but she ended up spending a whopping 20 hours with us when my labor stalled and I needed a C-section! She was a trooper. Her guidance and assistance during the craziest 20 hours of our lives was worth every single penny and more.
