Testimonial for Lisa Shire, CLE, CD(DONA)
I couldn't imagine our birth experience without Lisa. She was unbelievably understanding and helpful throughout the entire process. Before going into labor, Lisa came over to help us formulate a birth plan and answer any questions or concerns that we had for the big upcoming event. She helped us create a birth plan that was customized to our personal preferences, and genuinely supported our decisions. When the big day finally came, my girlfriends water broke at around 11:30 PM, and Lisa responded right away by coming over immediately. She was with us for the whole 20 hour process. During this time, she helped in many facets of the labor and delivery process, whether suggesting or implementing coping methods, giving reassurance, keeping us informed on all our options, or making sure that we were using our down time to rest and eat. Her involvement was invaluable. In addition, she also took detailed notes and pictures for us so that we could vividly remember everything. Not to mention handling the placenta encapsulation for us post-partum. Lisa provides a very personal experience. I highly recommend using her services to anyone who is planning on bringing their own bundle of joy into this world.
