The most important thing for us in a doula was shared faith. Pregnancy and birth are sacred times, so finding a Catholic doula was of utmost importance to me. Catherine met this criteria, but she also exceeded my expectations in every way. She was responsive, helpful, resourceful, kind, funny, and best of all: a friend. I feel that I have made a friend in Catherine through this journey, and that is very significant when you are sharing one of the most vulnerable and important moments of your life with someone.

Many women end up feeling betrayed by their birth care team because of less than stellar people at their side. Mothers don't need to fear this happening with Catherine. She is ultimately supportive of the mother's wishes--you will never be shamed by her for any decision you make in your birth, only uplifted. As soon as I decided to opt out of my natural birth and said my "safe word" to get an epidural, she instantly helped get the process going, despite our goal being to go unmedicated the whole time. She takes her supportive role very seriously, including her role as a praying intercessor if that is important to you in your birth.

Catherine is a priceless doula. Anyone seeking her services will not be disappointed with her support. If the opportunity arises, I will invite her to work with us on my future births as well.

We are so fortunate to have had the help of Kathy as our Doula during the birth of our first daughter. As first time parents – we were infinitely grateful for her knowledge, kindness and compassion. Kathy gave us the support we needed not just before baby arrived, but through our postpartum period too. Her knowledge, positive energy and warmth was very helpul during our long 20 labor period. We can’t say enough good things about Kathy and highly recommend her Doula Services to anyone looking in Windsor-Essex area.
