A real support for me and my ten pounds baby!
My partner and I decided to hire a birth doula for many reasons: this is our first baby, we are new in US and have nobody of our relatives to support us here. So, we needed a person who would be able to become almost “second family” for us. Lori was so professional, and the level of information she gave us just at our first meeting made us very comfortable with her. I strongly believe the method in which she prepared us for our desired birth plan helped us achieve it. Lori came to our house at certain days prior to my due date, fully explaining how the birth could go and it helped me really visualize what I would be going through. I was prepared and knew what to expect – I knew what my body would be doing and what would be normal in the weeks leading up to it. I was preparing for a natural birth and I really wanted and needed to understand my body to do it. Also having her available 24/7 to text or call with any random questions was very valuable. My pushing stage ran quite long, and I’m not sure what I would’ve done without her! She had me resting, got me moving, talked to me, sat with me, held my hand, assured my partner and helped him by suggesting different ways in which he could help me. Lori was ultra-reassuring and a blessing really, she was able to continue focusing on me and holding space for calmness, while my nurses had to complete their notes and charts and check me and my son’s medical status – they have an incredible amount of things to take care of, so having someone dedicated to just holding space for me and my emotions and well-being was beyond helpful. She visited us after the birth and answered any questions we had as new parents. We’re so happy we had Lori to help guide us through our whole journey, and I’d highly recommend her hands, heart and expertise to any expecting family!

"I cannot thank Lori enough for the help and all advice she gave me during my pregnancy. Let me tell you, Her instructions helped me cope with the pains and gave me confidence that I am capable. I just took 2 childbirth classes with her but she gave me advice I will keep for life. It was my first pregnancy but with Lori's assistance , everything went smoothly. Imagine now having her in your delivery room as Doula.....Thank you so much Lori"

"I would just like to say that my birthing experience with a doula was amazing and I was thankful that you were there to help me thru the labor and delivery process."

"Lori is a wonderful doula! She made my birthing experience so much fun. From casual chat to educational talk accompanied by fun visual illustrations, to physical comfort tricks - she knows it all. My favorite part about Lori is the way she was entertaining and supportive while respecting personal boundaries. I wanted to go painkiller-free during my delivery and I don't think it would have been possible without her. She was my painkiller! Nurses aren't always going to be able to be there for you, and in my case the labor progressed so quickly I was about to freak out. But Lori's got my back and advocated my interests just in the way I expected my doula to be. I am very glad we went through this sensitive moment together. I would definitely recommend her as a birthing coach and doula."

"Lori has been with me through my labor and delivery experience. Always available when I reach out. Makes her schedule around me and is very gentle and understanding in the heart of the action. She'll probably be the only doula I'll ever know since I plan on having her in my future delivery experience. Thank you Lori, for being there with me."
