I knew that for my second child I wanted a VBAC redemption and I had to get the best team on my side. I wanted a doula that would support me like ones I saw on social media. So I went on the hunt to interview doulas from my local mom groups and birth accounts I followed. What stood out for me with Lisa was her VBAC training and the different services that she offered. After my initial in person meeting with her I felt comfortable and at ease after all of the information she shared with me to prepare for my birth. When the day finally arrived I text Lisa as soon as I started feeling contractions so that she could be on standby in case they progressed quickly. Two hours later I let her know I was being admitted to the hospital and that I would call her when it was time to come down. She arrived quickly and through out my entire labor she provided comfort and strategies to help position my baby and keep the contractions going. At one point I felt very defeated and I am so thankful Lisa was a my side reminding me that I could do this! That I had come so far and was so close to meeting my baby girl. I pushed for about 30-45 minutes and my baby girl was out! My husband and I felt at ease with Lisa present and I have loved being able to connect with her even after my daughters birth. The belly binding sessions and bone closing ceremony were a peaceful reward for me reminding me of how strong I am and how strong my daughter was. We worked as a team to make her birth happen. I would absolutely recommend Lisa to anyone needing a doula. I want more babies now just to work with her again!
