~ Christina and David said, "Having met Laura prior to going in to labor made
me feel both comfortable and confident when my labor began. Arriving
at the hospital and seeing her face was very reassuring...Many times
I looked to her for direction and reassurance. She reminded me of
the breathing techniques and offered me many additional options... I
am very happy to have had this opportunity and would recommend her
to all expectant mothers."

~ Liz and Mark said, "Thank you so much for being a part of the birth of
our son. It meant a lot to us to have your help, especially through
what turned out to be a tough delivery! I know we both appreciated
having that third person. We would definitely recommend you as a
doula to anyone!"
~ "Laura, Thank you for being there for us during my long and difficult
labor. This book is a token of our appreciation for your help...
Much of the focus of the book is on the kinship among women. Every
woman should read it, especially if you're a doula. The Red Tent is
my favorite book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do." Love, Alysia
