Katie is THE BEST!! She was so helpful and encouraging. My baby was in the wrong position but Katie was able to help move my baby to the right position. I had our baby in the middle of COVID when the whole country of Jordan was in lockdown but she didn’t quit on us but stayed until after I gave birth. I can’t imagine not having Katie as our doula… we always say if The Lord gives us any more kids we will have to fly her back over here to Jordan to help us!! So very thankful for Katie!!

“I was so lucky to have Katie as our doula for the birth of our baby girl Eva.”

The experience was truly amazing, all natural and low stress. 

Katie played a huge part in making this happen. It was comforting to benefit from her experience during preparations, and she did an outstanding job of mediating between the medical staff and ourselves during the birth, making sure our wishes were understood and that we understood what was going on. Most importantly though, she gave me excellent coaching and guidance during labor, creating a positive and humorous atmosphere.

This was my first birth abroad, and my first time using a doula, and I am so glad I did. If you´re giving birth in Jordan – I highly recommend you get in touch with Katie!”

"Having Katie and the birth of our 4th baby was one of the best decisions we've ever made! Because of her knowledge, expertise and heart I was able to finally get the natural birth that I had always dreamed of. She remains so special to me to this day because of how well she cared for me and helped me labor with strength and concentration. If you're looking to be empowered during labor, and have intentionally thought through what you want your experience to be like - you must have her!"

Katie was a wonderful Doula. She helped me prepare my birth plan before the birth of my second son and also showed me and my husband useful exercises. During birth she was super calming and supportive and advocated for me to have my birth plan realised in the hospital. I could not have imagined the birth without her. We are super thankful!

Our 3rd baby girl joined our family in November 2016. I had never had a doula before, and I'm so glad we asked Katie to join us for Julia's birth! It was most definitely the best decision we could have made! Katie was so encouraging during the weeks leading up to her birth and gave me exercises that I could do for the baby to be in the best position possible. Katie is naturally intuitive, which helped so much during the labor process when I didn't know what I needed. She was a voice for us with the medical staff at the hospital, which was one less thing to worry about! When we found out we were expecting baby girl #4, due May 2019, we immediately asked for Katie to be our doula again!  Easiest decision ever! If you desire to have a natural birth, you will be incredibly blessed to have Katie as your doula!

After having a difficult birth with my first born, I had a lot of fears going into this second birth. I knew that this time I wanted to have a doula with me to see if I could have a better experience, and having Katie with me made all the difference.
From the moment she came in, she provided the support and comfort my husband and I needed in a stressful situation. I am so grateful that I can look back at this birth and feel nothing but joy, and I know that's because Katie was with us.
