Testimonial for Lola Katschke CD(PALS), PCD(NAPS), CLE, NCS
Lola is simply the best. From the moment I sent an email to inquire about her services to the postpartum visit, Lola has been with us every step of the way. My partner and I knew from the moment we had our first virtual meeting, that we wanted to have her as our doula. She was knowledgable, easy to connect with, kind, and had a great sense of humor. To top it all off, it was important for us to find a BIPOC doula, as we identify as such.
Hiring Lola as our doula was the best decision we could have made during our pregnancy. As soon as she was a part of our team, a weight was lifted off our shoulders and we knew we were in good hands.
During the in-person prenatal visit, Lola provided great insight on our nursery setup, demonstrated Spinning baby techniques, and overall shared many useful resources. During our postpartum visit, Lola answered questions about pumping, feeding, diaper changes, baby-wearing and what to expect in the days/weeks to come.
Lola came to the hospital on my delivery date with an arsenal of coping tools. She had LEDs tea candles to make my bath more relaxing. She had a comb to deflect some of the contraction pain. She acted as our mediator between the L&D nurses and my partner and I. She helped my partner throughout this 20+ hour labor to give him some breaks, and stayed with us the entire time. When it was time to push, she was by my side guiding me and trusting me to know what to do at each contraction. She was even able to capture some photos of this unforgettable moment.
We are so glad and grateful to have had Lola throughout this pregnancy. We highly recommend hiring Lola. She knows what she is doing and is there to empower families like us. She allowed us to have the birth experience we wanted. We will see her when time comes for baby #2!
