Testimonials

Anna, first time mom

As a first time Mom and Dad there are so many questions and fears, Kat was our saving grace. She was so attentive and flexible to our needs. Instantly after meeting her I knew she would be well worth it. She helped us stay on track and focus on baby’s needs from the time we contacted her to even well after our baby’s birth.

During delivery day Kat was right there to help us. She catered to my needs throughout labor by moving me in different positions, helping me walk and soak in the bath, and most importantly helped me through my fear of hospitals. She kept my husband calm as nurses and doctors fluttered in and out. Kat also kept us in a happy state.

I highly recommend Kat for her doula services, I would not trade my experience for anything and plan to use her for future children.”

Fran, first-time mom

“Having a natural birth was always something I wanted to experience ever since I thought about having children. I knew that Kat would be the perfect resource and guide in my natural birth journey. She was always there during my pregnancy for questions or concerns and put my mind at ease with research and tons of knowledge to back up her thoughts and ideas. When the day finally came for me to have my first baby Kat was there ASAP. I was scared out of my mind like any first time mom, but the team that Kat and my husband created set my mind at ease so fast. What I loved the most about the Doula experience is that Kat was there to take care of my physical needs and help control my pain, or get comfortable while my husband could focus completely on my emotional needs and enjoy the experience with me compared to worrying about my pain. Kat inspired me to start the certification process of becoming a Doula and I will forever be grateful for the PERFECT experience she helped provide.”

Jason, first-time dad

“Kat was very helpful most importantly for my wife, but also for me. She reminded me of what I could do to help, and also how to do it. Wouldn’t want to do it again without her.”

Jenn, second-time mom and client

“Kat was an integral part of both of my birth experiences, and in such different ways. She embodies the compassion and support that birthing women deserve, and strives to help create the ultimate birth team with partners as well. From her sharing of knowledge and experiences during my pregnancy, to physically assisting us in labor, her contributions were profound. I was comfortable with her the first moment we met and found myself bouncing ideas and worries off her as if she was a lifelong friend leading up to my son’s birth. Her passion and dedication to her work was contagious and made me even more excited for “birth-day” than I already was. Birth can be unpredictable and a moving target, but I felt very confident that no matter what came up that we had built up a great team and could rely on her confidence and expertise to make the best of situations. She kept me upbeat and focused, and I relied on her to get me in the right headspace as labor cranked up. To sum it up, I would not dream of doing this again without her there!”

Katie, first-time mom

“Having my daughter was one of the most beautiful and profound experiences of my entire life—thanks in large part to the amazing work done by Kat.

During my pregnancy, she educated me about what to expect and helped me make decisions about the kind of birth I wanted to have. I felt empowered by our discussions and ultimately opted for a natural, non-medicated childbirth in a hospital setting — something I would not have known was an option or something I was capable of had she not presented me with unbiased facts and data. I never felt pushed by Kat to choose one type of birth over another and felt like I had an advocate working with me, should I get pushback from the hospital about choosing to forego any unnecessary interventions.

While I knew that having a natural labor would be intense, I would not have been prepared to encounter such an intense experience without Kat’s support during the birth. My husband and I drove to the hospital at 1am and Kat arrived shortly after. She helped me work through my contractions and acted as the brain of the operation when I was in “laborland,” suggesting different positions or pain management techniques to try. She was supportive and encouraging throughout the entire experience. Her calming presence, warmth, patience, and extensive knowledge about pregnancy and birth makes her the perfect companion to have during labor and delivery. I am so proud of the work we did together to bring my daughter into this world — it really was work! Thanks to Kat, my daughter’s birth was a truly positive experience.”
