My husband had doubts about hiring a doula for our birth but I really wanted someone to help me prepare and guide me through labor. We had interviewed other doulas but we truly connected with Lily. While other doulas were preoccupied about the business aspects of their job, Lily wanted to make sure I was doing ok. She was very humane throughout the whole process. Before labor she came to our house and showed us what we could do when labor started. During labor she was amazing really, she helped through the pain and although she had taught my husband and sister the massages, only she was able to truly relax me. She advocated for me when I couldn't to best realize my birth wishes, even though some of them couldn't be accomplished, she adjusted and helped us navigate the 31 hours of labor. The home visits after the birth were also really appreciated as first time parents and a post partum momma in need of rest and relaxation during recovery . We can't thank her enough for all that she's done for us. It's gonna be an easy decision to have her for all of our future births.
