Testimonial for Heather Lapierre
We're in our 40s, and felt it was important to have a doula who recognized our life experience through the different phases of the birth of our son. We're also a multicultural family, and wanted our different backgrounds to be recognized and considered throughout.
Heather started our work together by asking us thoughtful questions about what we were hoping for from her and from our delivery. Her myriad birthing experiences helped us to understand aspects of our own birth plan that we never could have known to think about without her. Heather arrived at the hospital while I was well into labor, and got involved in comforting and massaging me through contractions so that my husband could simply hold my hand and talk to me. As it became necessary to make real decisions about things like breaking my water and having a C-section, Heather shifted into empowering us to use our voices to advocate for what we thought was best and healthiest for us. We can't imagine how we would have made those crucial decisions, nor had the deeply positive experience we look back on so fondly now, without Heather.
If you're looking for a calm, knowledgable, and deeply supportive presence during all stages of your birth experience, Heather is exactly who you're looking for. Heather is very experienced, brings humor to keep healthy perspective, and maybe most importantly, validates your experience so you feel empowered to advocate for what you really want.
