It was such a joy to work with Kim during my pregnancy and labor. We originally met when I began attending her prenatal yoga classes, and she had such a welcoming, calm presence that I knew she would be an excellent doula. As we began to work together, I appreciated how she brought her specific knowledge to create personalized support for me. With aromatherapy, we explored which scents were most able to calm and ground me. We also explored different yoga stretches and routines that helped keep me flexible and strong, preparing my body for labor.

I ended up having prodromal labor for two weeks before giving birth, and it was challenging physically and mentally. During this time, Kim was a huge support, offering knowledge of labor as well as compassionate encouragement. When true labor finally began, I felt so lucky to have Kim on my team!  Throughout the birthing experience, she kept a calm and watchful eye on my progress, paying attention to small details that made a big difference, such as warm blankets, snacks, and where I was holding tension in my body. She additionally had a lovely way of offering suggestions while staying open and humble to my evolving needs. 

Overall, Kim offered a calm, confident, focused presence as well as knowledge of the birth process and birthing techniques, which helped me to have a more positive and empowering birth experience. I highly recommend her to any expectant parent seeking compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive doula care.

I truly believe it would have been nearly impossible to make it through my pregnancies and postpartum without Kim's work. Through both of my pregnancies, she led me through weekly yoga sessions that kept my mind at peace and my body moving to assist baby's growth. I personally believe this carried into their newborn life and helped both baby and I recognize calmer environments and soothe quicker.

Additionally she offered me meal prep services for postpartum that were filled with wholesome and nutritious food. Maintaining high nutrient stores is so critical in the first few weeks postpartum and I never had to worry with freezer meals ready to go. 

When both babies arrived she stayed overnight a few days of the week and helped with those challenging first adjustment days. By offering extra sleep, taking over feeds, and helping with older siblings for baby #2, she helped me to be able to care for myself so I could bond with my children in a much more stable state of mind. There is something to her warm presence that makes you feel like you are never alone and can get through anything. She also has an amazing skill for doing things around the house before you can even think to ask. Cannot recommend her enough and am forever grateful she chose this career path!
