Testimonial for Laura DePasquale, CD(DONA)
My husband and I wanted someone who could guide, cheer, educate and advocate for us both. Someone who could back up our values, give us practical advice, and be there to reassure me during labor and my husband when he felt uncertain. We interviewed several wonderful women – doulas are truly special people – and knew from the moment we spoke to Laura that not only was she "the one," but that we were truly honored and blessed to be able to have her work with us! Laura trains other doulas, has been to over a thousand births, but more importantly, GETS it. Every mental and physical twist and turn, Laura understood on several levels.
She was an anchor in our pregnancy and birth journey. I remember distinctly laboring at the birthing center before she arrived, and the moment she did, our energies locked in together and the trajectory of my labor changed. She helped make the experience more smooth, more magical, and helped both of us remain present and engaged.
We also highly recommend her courses – both birth and lactation – as her knowledge spans experience, textbooks, and institutions/hospitals. Overall, my husband and I felt so looked after and embraced. She is the perfect balance between knowledgable expert and wise mother. We love Laura!
