"I am so happy we hired Lynda as our our doula. I had a very positive birth experience and her support, both emotional and physical, made a huge difference. I appreciated Lynda’s calm, grounded, strong presence the moment I met her. I felt confident that if I had to give birth on the side of the road she could handle it. When she arrived to my home while I was in labor I felt a sense of relief. She helped me stay mindful and present during my contractions. Her wise words became a mantra for me throughout my labor. Her hand on my back was the natural painkiller I needed to have an umedicated birth. In my final push I remember leaning into her, collapsing in my vulnerability and borrowing some of her strength. I felt my birthing experience was a true celebration of life and I am so glad she was a part of it."

"Lynda was essential to us for both of our births, and in very different ways. She helped me navigate a very long and frustrating early labor, preventing me from getting scared or doubting myself. She was also physically capable of being hands on for a marathon first birth and instrumental in its success. For our second birth she had the knowledge and observational skills to see that I was much further along than I realized and make sure we were all set up for the baby to arrive. She is calm, kind and strong, with a deep understanding of birth. Lynda was very present without taking up any emotional oxygen. We feel very lucky that we were able to have her with us at our births."

"It's nice to be with other soon-to-be dads to create a support group. And that's the key to supporting your wife - when you feel supported you can give more support to your wife. It took out some of the anxiety. The class also informed you on what to expect during birth, which was super helpful."
