Testimonial for Lauren Hulit Bradbury
To all who are considering hiring Lauren,
I can’t encourage you enough to work with her. She was my postpartum doula following the birth of my second child. I never had a doula, nor a postpartum doula, for my first pregnancy and birth and I was caught off guard by how emotionally, intellectually, and physically overwhelming it was. When I was pregnant with my second, I resolved to work with someone who could help me do more than just “get through” the postpartum time period but to also really enjoy it.
Lauren was everything I could have hoped for. Her demeanor is incredibly professional, she knew the right balance between asking for my direction and observing/anticipating what I needed and simply just stepping in to help.
She was efficient at locating and communicating with a lactation specialist when I needed some assistance. She removed what would have been a laborious hunt through the internet to find someone reputable.
Every day that she came to my house she maintained a steady focus on my health and well-being by making my favorite tea and snack or pulling together a nutritious and balanced meal for our family. She was also comfortable interacting with my first born if I needed to put all my attention to my infant and I didn’t want my toddler to be left without an adult nearby.
She is a great communicator and responded to my texts or phone calls quickly. She knew how to prepare me for days that she might be needed with her other clients as their birth doula. Sometimes she simply held my infant so I could take a much-needed nap.
She made me feel taken care of (spoiled even) and when I look back on that period of my life I feel so grateful for it. I was genuinely a happier, more balanced and joyful mom because of her support.
Sincerely,
Grateful mama of two!
