Kim was absolutely AMAZING!!

We knew immediately after our initial zoom meet that we wanted her to be apart of our birth team. She not only supported me as a first time mom who was determined to have an unmedicated birth, but also supported my husband and made sure he was comfortable and ready to help support me during labor.

She went over different labor positions and pain management tools to help me have the birth I wanted during our prenatal visits. She was easy to communicate with and checked in with us as we awaited the arrival of our little girl.

When the beginning of our labor had a few curve balls thrown at us, Kim helped to keep us calm and understand everything that was going on. She brought a variety of tools and a equipment I used during my labor. She ensured that both myself and my husband were supported and had our needs met to ultimately have our dream unmedicated birth.

We tell all of our friends and family how everyone needs doula like Kim by their side when they are having a baby!

Kim at Birthing Days was exactly what I needed in a Doula for my pregnancy. From her friendly and cheerful attitude to her wealth of knowledge, she was a perfect fit for us. I had a lot of fear about giving birth and as the day got closer I knew I would start to stress about the "what ifs". I needed support that was less clinical than a doctor, but more professional than a friend. A Doula was the perfect fit for that need. Kim gave me lots of advice and mental exercises to help relieve some of my worries. It was so beneficial to have someone with so much experience to answer all the random questions that would pop into my head. Our interactions were all digital due to the pandemic, but the amount of support I got made it feel like we were meeting in person. When the day finally came (and I got to meet Kim in person finally) it was so far from what I envisioned my birth to be like that you would think I'd have panicked. Having Kim in the room with my husband and I was priceless. She was always calm and collected, helping us to understand and process everything going on. A person we could both lean on in our most trying moments. I know my birth would not have felt so positive at the time if she wasn't there with us. After the birth, she was quick to check in on us and today she feels more like an old friend than a hired Doula. I cannot recommend her highly enough if you are looking for a Doula for your birth.

Kim attended my birth as a doula, and her support to me while bringing my daughter into this world was and is such a gift to me and my family. Kim was there to cheer me on, support me and even take pictures of our birth for me. At one point in my labor when things had gotten incredibly intense, she held onto me so that I could stand and thus speed the labor on. In Kim you'll find a dedicated doula who will always go the extra mile to ensure you and your baby are cared for.

Kim was very helpful during the pregnancy and delivery. She checked in regularly and gave us resources to prepare for the baby. We didn't have any family nearby to support us so it was important for us to have a doula like Kim. She was there for us when I went into labor on Christmas night. She never left our side at the hospital. She gave me a lot of good breathing and pain management techniques which helped me get through the contractions and labor without an epideral. I was so thankful for her labor ball - it was the best way for me to handle the pressure. She was very calm and empowering to my husband. Kim followed up with us throughout our time in the hospital and after returning home. I honestly don't think it would have been the same without her.

I learned more about childbirth from my meetings with Kim than any class or book. She helped me prepare for labor and gave me the confidence I needed to have a natural, unmedicated delivery. I felt empowered by her. During my 12 hour labor she was a constant support by my side. During early labor she helped me use the birthing ball and breathing techniques with contractions to help ease the pain. I couldn't have planned a better birth!
