Testimonial for Lea Azevedo
Lea's role as a doula was very important for my pregnancy. From our first conversation, she sought to provide as much information as possible about how all the stages would work, the support she would offer, and also shared important information about the US healthcare system.
One aspect that caught our attention was her extensive experience in child safety and health, as well as her technical expertise and numerous certifications. Furthermore, she constantly aimed to address our questions and provide evidence-based teachings.
On the day we went into labor, she stayed in constant contact with us, requesting updates on the progress until her arrival at the hospital. Once at the hospital, her role was crucial in providing support and again offering the necessary information to make informed decisions during childbirth.
As immigrants (Brazilian), her role was also essential in translating and explaining more technical matters and ensuring that the mother's wishes were respected throughout the childbirth process.
After the birth of our daughter, she accompanied us to the postpartum room and remained committed to the mother's privacy and safety, intervening when these wishes were not being honored, and when healthcare professionals did not follow the appropriate patient treatment protocol.
Lastly, even after childbirth, her role was instrumental in establishing breastfeeding, assisting with the latch and adhering to milk storage protocols.
Lea was a fantastic person on my journey as a mother, and I highly recommend her work. I am available to answer any questions or provide more details about my interaction with her.
