“Due to COVID-19 this year, my family could not accompany me to give birth. And this is our first child, my husband and I were very excited but also felt stress and anxiety often. We are very happy and fortunate to have received Laura’s professional help as a Doula, which gave us much more confidence about the upcoming birth of our daughter. But not only for myself, Laura also included my husband in the whole process which gave him tools and tips how he could supported me.

Laura was very enthusiastic and attentive in explaining everything regarding the pregnancy and child birth. I was very worried that I could not stand the pain during childbirth, but Laura taught me how to adjust my breathing rhythm, free posture, precautions and movement essentials. She also performed physiotherapy through touches and massages for me to help me reduce the pain caused by childbirth as much as possible.

After the baby was born, Laura also cared very much about us and our baby. She visited us several times to check on us, my physical and mental health and helped me with psychological counseling to reduce the chance of postpartum depression, and enlightened me to have a healthy and sunny mood to take care of myself and the baby.

We firmly believe that our choice of Laura was a wise decision. Luckily Laura was able to be with us from the first contractions until after the childbirth which gave us a peace of mind and confidence. Her guidance and assistance were incredibly valuable for us and we are very thankful.“
