Client Testimonials for Heather Keeney
Kaitlyn Litwinetz
Working with Heather was a wonderful experience. Prior to my birth she was so knowledgeable and informative and she really helped to ease my fears about childbirth. My plan was to have a natural birth at a hospital and Heather was extremely supportive of this. She and I discussed ways to manage labor pain without drugs and Heather helped me feel confident about a drug free birth. Heather was always available by email if I had any questions after our meetings. She was quick to reply and gave detailed responses. On the day I went into labor Heather met us at the hospital and never left my side until my son was born. Having her support in addition to my husband's helped tremendously. It was so comforting to know that I had someone there who had experirenced giving birth before and knew exactly what I was going through. I had back labor and heather and my husband took turns putting pressure on my back during contractions. I know my husband was happy to have additional support too. I was able to achieve my goal of having a drug free birth and I don't think I could have done it with out Heather's support. I feel so lucky to have met and worked with Heather. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a birth doula.
