Kim was absolutely amazing and I couldn't have the labor I had if it wasn't for her support. Prior to labor, she visited us a few times and was always super patient and helpful answering all our questions. Close to my due date, she provided a TENS machine and taught us how to use it.

I always wanted an unmedicated labor, but my water broke and I had to be induced unexpectedly. Kim came to my house that day and provided multiple suggestions for helping me get into labor spontaneously. She was always kind and patient. 

During my induction, Kim was by my side the whole time and always supported me during the contractions, reminding me to eat and drink throughout. The TENS machine was amazing and really helped me withstanding the contractions without medication. When my contractions were close to unbearable, she helped me discuss with my provider alternatives to an epidural. With her help, I was able to bear the contractions and have an almost unmedicated birth that I wanted. I had a very long pushing stage and she provided many helpful suggestions and stood by me side the entire time. 

I had a very easy recovery and my baby was born super healthy and I know Kim played a huge part in that. My husband was initially skeptical about hiring a Doula and he loved having her support and was glad we did it. Kim also had a lot of experience with my midwifery provider which helped me go into labor confident about their low-intervention approach. 

After my baby was born, Kim checked in a few times and brought a labor summary, which I absolutely loved. 

I HIGHLY recommend her as a Doula and truly hope she is available for my next baby.

Loretta was wonderful! She was kind, warm, throughly prepared and knowledgeable, and very responsive to my needs and desires. She never questioned or pushed back on any of my choices, only supported me through every step. She also grounds her doula work in evidence-based practices, which was particularly reassuring.

I ended up having a c-section because of breech positioning, so Loretta pivoted from labor prep to c-section prep. She walked my husband and I through the likely process so that we would be prepared for everything beforehand.

I highly recommend Loretta if you’re looking for a doula.

Somewhat last minute, we finally decided we wanted to hire a doula...our friends referred us to another doula who was not available so she referred us to Kerry as they work closely together and we are so happy that she did! Kerry is very responsive and great at communicating.  The first thing we noticed about Kerry is how intelligent and knowledgeable she is...it's actually quite remarkable.  She has a helpful, comprehensive answer for any question or concern you could have...and she is extremely well-spoken to boot. She's great at explaining things in a straightforward, helpful way that is easy to understand and take in but that also gives you all the information you could need or want which is a huge talent in and of itself. Kerry came for her initial visit and we liked her immediately - she is warm, kind, smart and did a great job of putting us both at ease.  She involved me and my husband equally + made him feel like he was part of it which was so important to both of us. She checked in with us prior to delivery, picked up my phonecall when my water had broken at 3 am and was wonderful in explaining what was going on and what potential next steps were etc. She stayed in touch when we got to the hospital and made her way there as soon as we asked her to...and supported us through a VERY long labor and delivery...in a tough atmosphere that was not very welcoming to doulas or alternative ways of doing things. She kept her cool and professionalism, found ways to work with the difficult staff and most importantly, made us feel supported throughout a very emotional, scary and challenging experience (including via little touches that actually meant so much like tidying up the messy room when my husband and I walked the floor and putting tea lights all around, having and holding a fan to my face for hours :) etc). Kerry clearly LOVES what she does, she is very fair, wildly smart and very sweet - what else could you want?! Highly recommend!
