Testimonial for Lynzi Blacker CD/PCD(DONA)Lactation Consultant
I have been trying to write this review for some time, but I struggle every time I try to reflect on the birth of our twins. It is hard to put into words how grateful we are to Lynzi. She was a blessing during one of the most challenging times of our life.
We had twin girls this past NYE. We hired Lynzi preemptively before the girls were born because I wanted the transition from one child (2 years old) to three children to go smoothly. I am very thankful that we did because it was a very challenging time. Just a quick summary of some of what we were going through: I went into labor at 35 weeks and spent about ten days in the hospital, one twin spent three weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care, one came home from the hospital with me, my son was exposed to COVID while we were in the hospital and couldn't see him for over two weeks between my hospital stay and because we had two premature babies... It was a lot.
Lynzi was there.
Lynzi helped us in so many ways for 2-3 months after our girls were born. Lynzi frequently knew what I needed before I even knew myself. I rarely had to ask her to do anything after the first day or two. She knew what needed to be done around the house and did it (super efficiently, I have to say). She gave me time to heal when I otherwise wouldn't have had it. She would help us with meals, laundry, and cleaning, let me nap or shower without guilt, and stay overnight so my husband and I could sleep. She was great with my son. She would make me food when I would neglect myself. She would care for our twin at home so my husband and I could go to the NICU together when I couldn't drive to visit the other twin. It felt like she filled the role that my mom would have if she had been able to be here and not been 2000 miles away.
I recommend Lynzi as a postpartum doula. She is so caring and such a wonderful human being. I'm not sure what we would have done without her. We loved her and are so grateful for her.
