What’s a doula?
A doula is a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth.
Love for Lavender
Samantha not only provides an amazing level of ongoing supportive for both the mother and non-birthing partner, but also has a wealth of pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum knowledge that is truly invaluable when it comes to navigating the process of giving birth. She is much much than just a Doula in our eyes…
When she came over during my labor, the entire energy in the apartment shifted. She showed a natural intuition in how to keep me active working through my contractions. Her presence is gentle, unnassuming, but assured and secure.
Her approach is open, honest and practical and what we were particularly impressed with was her focus on not only understanding what we wanted and needed but also on opening us up to other available options and ways of thinking.
Sam held me up mentally and physically without wavering and for that no price can be placed on that kind of support. Even after the birth and I had difficulties, she was on hand to comfort and provide needed additional help without question.
