Laurie Levy, Masseuse & Birth Doula

I had an amazing experience with Laurie as my doula. She was warm, funny, and great company during early labor, and my rock when things became more intense. She was incredibly in tune with what I needed at every point, from constant counter-​pressure on my back to hugs and words of encouragement.
Also, the postpartum massage was AMAZING! She put my new baby in a wrap and he slept happily on her the whole time, and I could not have felt better afterwards. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to all of my friends, and there’s no one else I would call for baby #2!
Lastly, she worked wonderfully with my midwives, and also has a lot of experience in hospitals– she was able to explain what was happening with our baby after he was born, reassure us at several stages, and make a very good impression on our team (and my family, who all commented that she basically never left my side!). She sends cards and chocolates out to the birth team/​hospital crew afterwards, and was very conscientious about supporting me without ever getting in their way. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
