Testimonial for Lauralee Lightwood-Mater, CD(DONA)
I cannot stress enough how important having doula support was during my pre-natal and birth experience. We hired Lauralee for both myself and my birth partner and I am SO glad we did. The pre-natal birthing session we did to prepare was significantly helpful, answered so many questions, and eased anxiety going into my first birth experience. We made a plan together, I learned how to advocate for myself more, and I felt much more prepared going into my birth experience. I had an induction and felt Lauralee's guidance was critical in helping make it a positive experience. The text/call support before birth was such a nice tool to have. My birth was different than planned because it went much faster than anticipated. Lauralee provided vital support yo my birth partner via phone and made it just in time to start pushing! She spent time with us for several hours afterwards to help with skin to skin and breastfeeding. She also took the most amazing pictures. Lauralee was a key person in our first few weeks post-natal when stress was at its highest point. We had an incredible visit several weeks later, got to review the whole experience and share snuggles with our new baby! I would highly recommend Lauralee as a doula, for whatever type of birth experience you're planning!
