Testimonial for Heather Lapierre

Hiring Heather was the best decision I made during my pregnancy, I cannot recommend her enough. As a physician, I was leery about hiring a doula as I had heard stories of women who felt judged for wanting allopathic labor support (epidural, etc). However, after the birth of my first child I felt let down by the medical system. I had a very lengthy and difficult labor and received very little coaching for positioning, timing of epidural, and movements to help labor progress. And don’t get me wrong, I had a fantastic OB. I learned that there are simply care and knowledge gaps of traditional hospital based labor. After that experience, I knew I needed a doula and Heather was the perfect choice. From the first time I met her, I felt like I had known her for years. She has this lovely way of making you feel completely comfortable with even the most private of topics. I never felt the least bit self conscious despite being completely exposed and at my most vulnerable. My second labor with Heather was 100% better because of her presence. First labor: 4 hours of pushing. Second labor: 28 minutes. She worked fluidly with my nurse and physician. She kept me calm and centered and made me feel cared for, nourished, and supported. I would never consider having another baby without her at my side. She was worth every penny. 10/10 recommend.
