Why Our Clients Love us!

Laura was WONDERFUL! My husband and I are both lawyers, so we spent a lot of time looking for a doula that would provide very practical, hands-on guidance, assist us in advocating for our desires during the birthing process and supply us with lots of educational materials, as this was our first child. Laura did all of this and so much more! Her birthing class and lactation classes were extremely informative and she provided us with additional resources that we reviewed as part of our preparation. In the end, my labor went extremely fast, so we did not use many of the materials that we had planned to use, but Laura was an expert in knowing what to do to guide us through it.
