Momdoulary

I consider the road that led my to Laura of Birth Right Now one of the biggest blessings of my life, quite close to the surreally beautiful birth of my daughter. The reality is, the latter would not have been possible without the former.
Having Laura as a doula was not only the key to the successful natural birth I had dreamed of, but was also what prepared me for the day of delivery and all that came with impending motherhood. Laura helped quell my fears and craft my ideal vision for my delivery day. She taught me about what to expect, how to interpret medical jargon, and led me on a path of renewed self-​discovery. I cannot praise her enough. Her experiences as a life coach, educator, and writer (among so many other things) are clearly apparent upon first impressions. What is even more of a gift is that she is one of the most compassionate and insightful people I have ever crossed paths with.
In short, Laura helps empower people and usher in life in the most delightful way possible– and really, I take the start of life pretty seriously! Imagine my experience: a scared single-​mother (who wasn’t sure who she wanted to be by her side during delivery and was at «risk» of having a c-​section) finds Laura as her coach close to the end of her pregnancy and is able to learn an extraordinary amount to prepare for a record short labor (seven and a half hours– five were in the hospital) which resulted in a delivery that included only seventeen minutes of pushing without an epidural or any pain medications. The length of my daughter’s birth story is as beautiful as they come – not at all like the things one may see on television or in movies.
Nearly five months after my daughter was born, Birth Right Now continues to be an important part of my life. I have attended many workshops and social groups to share stories and meet other expectant or new moms. Because of Laura I have been abe to continue learning, growing, and sharing as I develop my new identity as a mama. Where else can anyone find that type of support with a consummate professional in the present climate?
