Lisa has been our birth doula for both of my daughters and I could not be more grateful we found her. For my first birth, she helped both my partner and I feel prepared prior to the experience through conversations, activity and walking me through movements. I had a placental abruption and went into preterm labor with my first baby, and she was at the hospital with me immediately to help me advocate for myself and walk me through what was going on. An experience that could have been traumatic and terrifying was actually still incredible. I truly believe that is because she was there with us.
For my second daughter, she came to my house when I was having contractions and helped me move into different positions to help progress birth. Her knowledge helped me labor quickly and effectively. My water broke and my baby crowned before we even had time to call the midwife. Lisa remained calm, cool and collected -- she called the midwife while simontaenously grabbing my husband to deliver our daughter. She stayed with me and provided us guidance and comfort while we waited for the midwives to arrive. Because she was there and has always proved to be incredibly knowledgable about birth, I knew my daughter and I were safe. During the birth, she still managed to take incredible photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
She truly cares, and is invested in her clients. You will not always encounter someone as genuine and passionate about their career as a doula. Beyond this, she has always had a plethora of resources for any concerns I had during my pregnancy and postpartum. She has remained a huge part of our lives. I will always recommend her to everyone who will listen.
