Testimonial for Laura DePasquale, CD(DONA)
Laura was WONDERFUL! My husband and I are both lawyers, so we spent a lot of time looking for a doula that would provide very practical, hands-on guidance, assist us in advocating for our desires during the birthing process and supply us with lots of educational materials, as this was our first child. Laura did all of this and so much more! Her birthing class and lactation classes were extremely informative and she provided us with additional resources that we reviewed as part of our preparation. In the end, my labor went extremely fast, so we did not use many of the materials that we had planned to use, but Laura was an expert in knowing what to do to guide us through it. Her extensive experience was clear when she knew at what point to transition us to the hospital, as I had wanted to labor at home as long as I could, and once we were in the hospital she assisted me in having a completely unmedicated water birth. Laura is absolutely the highest level of doula practitioner and it was an absolute joy to work with her!!
