Lacey was a fantastic doula in every way. During both the initial interview and our prenatal visit, she spent ample time with us, not only answering questions about doula/birth stuff, but just getting to know us and doing the important work of relationship-building. By the time I went into labor and called her, it felt like I was calling a friend to come over and support me, not someone I had just met a few weeks prior. And wow, support me she did!

She was with me for every step of the way, anticipating my needs before I knew I needed something. When I needed to go out for a walk and felt more social, she was great to walk, chat, and laugh with, often physically supporting me through contractions along the way. Later, when my toddler son woke up just as I was needing to turn inward and be alone, Lacey helped me through the decision to have him picked up by a family member. She was very ninja-like; I remember I had escaped to the bathroom to be alone and was trying to figure out what to do about my son. At one point I must have said something to myself out loud and Lacey responded. I had no idea she was in the bathroom with me! It was perfect, because I absolutely needed her, but I didn’t realize she had come with me. So stealth!

As labor progressed, she was my constant, always near me and always supporting me in just the right way. Even when I couldn’t see or feel her, I knew she was right there with me and that made all the difference. I don’t know how I would have made it through labor without her support. She will forever be a very special person to me for walking with me through a very difficult time, supporting me, encouraging me, believing in me. That alone makes her a fantastic doula, but the icing on the cake is that she took well over 100 photos and captured so many precious memories for us. What a gift! Thank you, Lacey, for all you did to support us before, during, and after the birth of our son, Jesse.

My experience with Lacey was so wonderful! My birth was back to back with another birth that she attending right before mine, and her support was still excellent! I was so impressed! Laboring with my son was very difficult, and she knew just how to support me. We walked and talked together, she helped undress and dress me, she rubbed my lower back and bottom for such a long time, encouraged me and coached me through more effective positions. I would highly recommend her care to anyone because she knows when to help and when to monitor. Lacey is really good at realizing the needs of each person and is effective is aiding them.
