TESTIMONIALS

CALEB (FIRST TIME DAD):

“When my wife first mentioned getting a doula for the birth of our son I was very skeptical. I felt that I was fully capable of coaching and assisting her through her labor and delivery (funny, as I have never done either). I also didn’t want someone else to take anything away from the life-changing experience of the birth of our first child. However, after meeting Katherin and talking with her about our birth plan and how she would help, I was sold. Katherin was an integral part of our birth team and I could not have been more wrong about my idea of having a doula. Contrary to my thought that having someone else there to help coach my wife would diminish the experience for me, Katherin’s calming and encouraging presence with us throughout labor and delivery amplified the experience to something even better than we could have imagined. She was able to help support my wife in ways that even I couldn’t, and trust me when I tell you that there is nothing negative about having extra support and help through a 30-hour labor. If any partners are skeptical about the use of a doula, don’t be. And if you are already sold on a doula, you won’t find a better one than Katherin. “

stacia (first time mother):

”My husband and I couldn’t have been more grateful to have Katherin on our birth team. When we were first discussing whether or not we wanted to partner with a doula for the birth of our first child, we thought we could manage labor on our own and were conflicted about bringing someone else in. That all changed after I met Katherin and found her to be so warm and kind that I couldn’t imagine NOT having her with us! We wanted to pursue a natural birth plan and Katherin supported our desires 100%. We met with her twice prior to the birth of our son and so appreciated her coaching and encouragement as we formulated our birth plan and honed relaxation and communication techniques together. On the day we went into labor, Katherin was immediately available to us. Her genuine care for us and our birth wishes never wavered and was instrumental in helping us get through 30 challenging hours of labor. The value of her physical and emotional support far exceeded our expectations and we would recommend her to ANYONE in a heartbeat. Take this recommendation from a couple who didn’t think they needed a doula -  get a doula, and make sure it is Katherin on your team!”

StephanIE (FIRST TIME MOTHER):

“When we got pregnant with our first, it was a whole lot of unknowns. We were scared, soon-to-be parents that really didn’t know how to steer this new part of our life. Having Katherin as our doula really changed that. She not only was able to answer my questions that allowed us to make the most informed decisions about our pregnancy before birth, but during labor was the supportive, calming presence that everyone needs during that crazy time. She communicated with our nurse and doctor and played a hands-on role (without overstepping) throughout it all. After birth, she helped my son latch and was honestly WAY better than our lactation nurse! Lastly, her postpartum visit was such a sweet way to end it all. She checked on us to make sure we were holding up as new parents and helped us to reflect on our birth experience. I really cannot say enough amazing things about Katherine. But if you are looking for someone who is kind and passionate about pregnancy and birth- look no further. She is the unwavering light that mothers need to help us navigate through this beautiful experience.”

Ebony (first time mother):

”I found Katherin online as I was in a last minute panic/rush to find someone to assist me emotionally and physically on my journey as a first time mother. She immediately made me feel supported through her initial phone call. Katherin is a great listener. I also loved the input, she would ask necessary questions and was very involved in every decision I made. Katherin is outspoken, encouraging and devoted. I loved how she came in and was eager to meet my support system for the first time…my Fiance and my mother. They all loved that she was there because she provided them with a chance to relax. I will always remember her and have her as part of my birth story because she took that chance and helped me despite the short notice. She was welcoming and warm hearted. If she was not my Doula she will certainly be a friend of mine.”

Kara (second time mother):

“We are so grateful for Katherin's help during our labor and delivery. This was our second birth and a totally different experience than with our first. We felt more empowered and capable of having a natural delivery because of Katherin's help. I am still amazed and elated that I was able to deliver our sweet girl without pain meds. I would highly recommend using a doula if you are wanting a natural labor and delivery and we we're so happy with Katherin as our doula!”

Brenna (third time mother):

“Going into the birth of our third baby, my mindset was uneasy and I was feeling anxious. We had moved across the country late in my second trimester, not knowing anyone in our new city, understanding that our OB would most likely not be at the birth. I needed some stability and SUPPORT in addition to my husband, that would be in my corner no matter what. Katherin was exactly that! After our first meeting I knew I wanted and needed her support. Katherin is in it for you. She listens to your needs, caters her techniques to fit what you and your baby want/need, and does it all with love! I felt comfortable, cared for, empowered, and READY to deliver my baby with NO MORE ANXIETY. I'm so grateful she was part of our birth story!”

Caroll (Mama primeriza):

A pocos meses de tener a mi bebé conocí a Katherin. Después de conversar con ella sobre el trabajo que realizan las doulas y los beneficios que podría tener durante el parto, decidí que me acompañará en ese momento tan importante de mi vida. Siempre dispuesta a responder mis preguntas, a darme información y guiarme en los últimos meses de gestación. Cuando mi bebé decidió venir al mundo, estuvo conmigo todo el tiempo, apoyándome, dándome ánimo y tranquilidad a mi y a mi familia. Gracias a su guía y frases positivas hizo que mi fuerza interior venciera mis miedos durante el parto. Gracias Katherin por todos tus cuidados y por hacer más especial la llegada de mi bebé. Que sigas siendo luz en la vida de muchas otras mamás.
