I moved to Kelowna in June 2022 and our little girl was due a month later. We weren't planning to be in Kelowna for her birthday and so finding a doula from a distance felt tricky as a first time mama. When I met with Kristi over zoom, she shared her experience, passion and some podcasts recommendations. The podcasts were what drew me in ?? we met with Kristi shortly after our arrival in Kelowna and she felt like a friend. We walked and talked and discussed my ideal birth, currently concerns, she shared her experiences, and listened with empathy and understanding. During my labour, Kristi was key! My husband was supportive but didn't seem to understand as he wasn't going through it. Kristi coached him along, supported me with tools, tips, and all the strategies. I felt completely safe, reliant and comfortable with her. I truly feel I couldn'y have done it without her gentle words of encouragement, coaching through breathing and touch. I hope to never give birth without her. 

Katie was a light in our life when we needed it the most! Katie was our post-partum doula and she did an amazing job helping us navigate this whole 'new parent' thing. She not only helped us with the baby, but around the house as well. I highly recommend Katie! 

Where to begin? Our first birth was unsupported. It was just my husband and I and it went sideways. Leading up to this delivery I was getting anxious because I felt we needed support. For both my husband and I. We reached out to Ruth and without hesitation she was willing to be by our side. We cannot imagine having done this without her. How we ever survived the first birth without her we don't know! During labour she was not only by my side helping me through each contraction, she was a comfort and an incredible support. When I felt overwhelmed with decisions she helped explain everything to me and made me feel supported in whatever I chose. When my husband passed out during the delivery, you could imagine my anxiety over that, but Ruth was right there by my side comforting me and encouraging me. Postpartum I was nervous about anxiety creeping up again. She was there supporting me and giving me tips on how to manage it and my ever changing hormones. Because of her support I felt strong postpartum and it's been a quick journey to feeling like myself again. Like I've stated already, we cannot imagine not having had her by our side. We feel so incredibly lucky!
