Testimonial for Laurie Levy
We are very pleased to be a reference for Laurie and highly recommend her. Our birth experience with Laurie was excellent. We would use a doula, and Laurie specifically, again without question. We had wanted to hire a doula to have another advocate on our side/looking out for us during the birth so we could make it the experience we wanted it to be, rather than something that just happened to us. Laurie's wealth of experience attending births really benefited us both in preparing for, and during, the birth. Also, it is very apparent that she really loves what she does, which makes all the difference! Laurie's prep with us before the birth was very thorough. She met with us two times (aside from the initial interview) for several hours at a time. She got us to think about things to prepare/consider for the birth we wouldn't have, had she not brought them up. We liked the card exercise she went through with us, where you eliminate cards to identify the most important things you would like to have happen/not happen at the birth. She was very supportive of me during the birth, and was a major reason it was such a great experience. For example, I had wanted to do it without pain meds, and during a particularly difficult part of the birth she kept me grounded/reminded me of why I wanted to do it without medication, which really helped enable me to so do. I felt very cared for during the birth with Laurie and my husband by my side. It was nice to have her there by my side when my husband needed to take a break, eat, go for a water, etc. during the birth. From my husband's perspective, she was very inclusive of him throughout the process, which he really appreciated. She was very supportive to my husband, too, who had come down with a bad cold the day before our child was born. Laurie was very aware of what was going on for each of us throughout the birthing process.
