Client Testimonials for Kiera Lichtenwalner
C L.P.L.
From the beginning, I felt like Kiera was my friend. I had met her 4 weeks before my due date and wasn't sure if I wanted a Doula or could afford one. Even though I had just met her, she made herself immediately available to me from day one! It didn't take me long to decide to hire her. I ended up going into labor only 10 days after meeting her. While I was in early labor, she helped me make a birth plan, showed me different birthing positions and gave suggestions for comfort and pain relief. She was my advocate in the delivery room and the person who eventually swayed my awesome OB to let me give birth in the hot tub even though it wasn't planned. I had my dream birth without medication thanks to Kiera. I am three weeks Post Partum now and she has been a constant source of nursing support, emotional support and she is always free for questions. Her services were affordable though I could never put a price on the invaluable sourse of strength she has been for me and my family. She even did my Placenta Encapsulation so I wouldn't have to go through Post Partum Depression again and so my physical healing process would happen more rapidly. This whole experience with my second child and his birth into this world was very healing, as my first birth and pregnancy were very traumatic. Thank you Kiera for your tender loving care!
