Testimonial for Lori Lawrence

We had a wonderful birthing experience with Lori by our side.  Lori brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in a nonjudgmental warm approach.  She was able to support my husband and me during the labor process of my third baby but first attempt of a natural delivery by giving us suggestions on positions and guiding me through contractions with a calm and encouraging presence.  She heard my need to move onto something else as contractions intensified and gave us the space to make decisions that we felt comfortable with.  I wouldn't change a thing about my labor experience despite it ending in a cesarean after a long labor.
I'm proud of what I accomplished and don't feel like I would have been as strong or confident without Lori a part of my team.  She was invaluable to my husband and me.  We cannot thank her enough for her guidance, care and support of our family as we brought our son into this world.
