We Could Not Have Done This Without Lari

April 14, 2024

We interviewed a few doulas to identify one who could help us with both labor and delivery as well as post-partum care. We ultimately chose Lari who has been PHENOMENAL to work with so far. I can’t say enough good things about her. When we first interviewed with her, I appreciated that she already had a defined list of topics to discuss and walked us through the process as well as asked us a lot of questions. She was clearly very knowledgeable and experienced and I trusted her to be our guide through this new experience for us. We hired her for both labor and delivery as well as about one to two months of post-partum night help. For labor and delivery, she came to the hospital after I was checked in, had my epidural, and was in active labor. From there she worked very well with the nurses and helped me get into positions, even with my epidural, to help keep the baby moving down the birth canal. And finally when it came time to push she was there assisting and encouraging right along with the nurses. It was nice to have someone else in the room the whole time who knew what was going on and could answer our questions and give guidance. We have since had her help for two nights post partum and it has been amazing so far. The first night she helped monitor my breastfeeding to confirm I was doing it correctly and offered up some tips including getting me set up on the Hakka milk extractor. The second night she helped my husband practice baby holds and burping so he could get more comfortable. And both nights she watched the baby’s cues, brought her to me when ready to eat, and then took her for diaper and swaddle after. This allowed me a couple stretches of 3 or even 4 hours of sleep each night. I felt so much better because of this rest. I look forward to continuing to work with Lari and also in the future with another pregnancy.

One of a kind

I cannot say enough amazing things about Lari! I know that I made it through my “fourth trimester” as well as I did, solely because of her help and guidance. She is so patient, knowledgeable and caring for the entire household! She helped me not only with my newborn, but really cared for me so I could heal and rest and really enjoy motherhood.

From newborn care, to belly binding, to caring for my toddler and even helping around the house, Lari did it all! She’s really one of a kind and I will use her again if we are blessed with another!

If you’re reading reviews to decide if you need Lari as a doula, please stop your search now and book her! Lari was my doula for my very first child birth and she was absolutely sent by God to help me through. Not only was she major support for me but also my husband and overall family.

Her communication to me before, during, and after birth was EXCEPTIONAL and she explained & answered any question my husband and I had at any given time. Also she communicated very well with the hospital staff and they raved about her during my recovery time. Her patience from our very first interaction to her thoughtful check ins weeks postpartum made/makes me feel cared for.
