Testimonial for Lisa Shire, CLE, CD(DONA)
My experience with Lisa could not have been better. I had questioned the need for a doula but after hearing from friends who had given birth naturally, I realized that doulas are a sort of natural pain reliever. I felt comfortable with Lisa from our first meeting. She has a natural way about her that I imagine anyone could relate to. During my labor, she managed to be there for my every need and yet not feel intrusive in any way. The moment she arrived at my house (home birth) I felt much more confident in what was happening. She was calm, reassuring and sympathetic. I credit much of my successful home birth to her presence. She was also a fantastic support in the weeks after my baby was born, providing breastfeeding support and resources. While Lisa is my first and only experience with a doula, I can say with certainty that I will not be giving birth without one in the future and if I'm lucky, it will be her again!
