Laurie truly became family during a rocky labor and delivery experience with our first baby. After difficulties with fertility and pregnancy loss, it was important to us to connect with someone who would be able to act as our central through line and partner throughout our first labor experience. We have learned first hand just how important trust in your health providers can be when confronting intimidating medical procedures and treatments, and in our first interaction Laurie immediately perceived our anxiousness and brought a sense of confidence and calm to the process of planning for our birth. When my chronic blood pressure resulted in an early delivery due to pre-eclampsia, Laurie was there, checking in with us early in labor and then spending days while active labor kicked in. All of our birth planning - which was invaluable to go through to help mentally prepare us - went out the window, but it somehow was okay because Laurie was there to guide us. She translated everything the doctors were sharing, she pushed us when we needed to be pushed, she pushed the doctors and nursing staff when we needed space, she brought laughter when we needed to break the tension, and she stepped away when we needed private time to process. We cannot speak highly of her enough. She was the MVP of our birth story.
