Testimonial for Grace Lape CD(DONA)
I don't even know where to begin. Grace was everything we could have hoped for and more in a Doula. She affirmed the difficulty and trauma of my first birth, and in doing so set me on a path to receive the professional healing resources that were available to me. These resources were so key in helping me have the healthy, happy, and natural birth that I was praying for. She was professional, kind, supportive, hilarious, and a true friend for me throughout my pregnancy and birth. The moment I saw her when I arrived at the hospital, I was just able to enter into my contractions and focus knowing that she was with me. She has a really calming presence. She just jumped right in, reading my body and providing the right kind of physical pain coping I needed without me having to say anything at all!. She helped me walk my way from triage to my room at 8cm dilated, and truly gave my husband and me a sense of peace in our unexpected hospital experience. I feel like we just went in there and rocked their world. I felt confident and calm talking and advocating for my birth preferences as I approached pushing. Apart from God, I know that having Grace there gave me the confidence and peace to really birth the way I wanted to birth and exactly how my body needed to birth. From beginning to end she was a supportive, loving, and attentive part of my birth team, and an essential. I look forward to having Grace at more of my births in the future!
