Testimonial for Lauren Hulit Bradbury
My birthing and postpartum experiences would have gone so differently had Lauren not been part of our team. I cannot recommend her more highly and have come to think of her as a friend and resource that I will forever be grateful to have in our lives. I was immediately drawn to her upon our first call where she shared evidence-based information, answered all of my questions with a calm, confident energy, which is exactly what I was looking for. Once we began working with her, she was open to my ideas and struck the perfect balance of informing without dictating and she supported me through decisions about my birth plan. She also coached my husband and made him feel prepared and ready for the birth. She understands the pregnancy journey and has a very high level of empathy, which allows her to remain flexible, open-minded, and adaptable to the changing needs of her clients and their birth journeys. I felt confident after our prep sessions which I never thought was possible for me with regards to childbirth; I am someone who suffered from a deep fear of labor and had planned to schedule a c-section! When the big day came, she was responsive and supported all of my needs at our home and the hospital. When we needed to pivot away from the birth plan, she helped us do so with ease. Her presence throughout the day was incredibly calming for both my husband and me and we still believe we couldn't have done it without her. We enjoyed working with her so much that we also hired her as a postpartum doula, during which she provided me with desperately needed help and care as we live away from our families and are without the village so many new parents have. I love that she has been a part of my now 7 month old daughter's life for her whole life and she is one of the only people in whom I have complete confidence when it comes to caring for her. Lauren is kind, intelligent, informed and supportive and any birthing person would be beyond lucky to have her as their doula.
