Testimonial for Heather Lapierre
Our family worked with Heather this past Spring for birth doula services. We could not have made a better choice, and feel blessed and grateful that she helped us welcome our baby girl.
We engaged Heather since this was the birth of our first child, and we didn't know what to expect in terms of labor or delivery. Heather helped us clarify our goals in working with her and helped me define my preferences for the labor and delivery experience. She spent many hours preparing both my husband and me for the experience, such as, what we could expect during early labor. During my pregnancy, she both proactively shared her knowledge and answered my many questions quickly & thoroughly. During my labor, she gave hands-on support and guidance for a movement-forward experience (my preference), and was available at all hours to answer my questions about scenarios that came up. She was an advocate for our family in the birth room, asking the questions of my birth team (nurses and doctors at a hospital) that I wouldn't know to ask. And, I was fortunate to be at a hospital that empowered birthing parents to engage with doulas; in turn, my birth team respected her and were glad to involve her in discussions about my care.
Following a birth that was beautiful and for which I felt extremely prepared, Heather stayed with us in the hosptial for the majority of a day to ensure we felt confident in our new role. The following week, she visited us in our home to share additional practical support.
Heather is a master in her craft, and shares her expertise with clarity as well as kindness. We highly recommend working with Heather!
