Kelli was fantastic throughout the entire labor process! It had gotten to the point where the doctors wanted me to be induced due to going past my due date and baby measuring large. While trying to work through the decision of being induced, Kelli provided me with information on both sides of the situation and supported whatever decision my husband and I chose. We moved forward with an induction and Kelli was there with us through the whole thing. She made sure that both me and my husband were doing alright and staying in the right head space. She was able to help guide decisions and reminded me of what I wanted my birth to look like going into it. At one point I had mentally hit my wall and didn't think I could go any longer without an epidural. However, Kelli reminded me of what I wanted originally, she talked through what I would need to do in order to get an epidural, and showed me how strong I had been until then and could remain to be through the rest. I'm not sure I could have done it all unmedicated without her help in the entire process of deciding on the induction, going through the induction, and helping me push our baby into this world. I will definitely have Kelli there again if we get blessed to bring another baby into this world.

Kelli was awesome to work with. After my initial consult meeting with her, I knew I wanted her to help me navigate the rest of pregnancy and be at my birth. Anytime I had questions, I emailed Kelli and she got back to me with information with sources cited. I did not have an easy pregnancy, from all day morning sickness well into the 2nd trimester, to pregnancy induced carpal tunnel and then gallbladder attacks that made it so I threw up everything and ended up in the hospital at 36 weeks. Kelli was supportive through all of that. She helped me develop my birth plan which took a huge load off my shoulders. The day of Skylar's birth Kelli was there helping me breathe through the contractions, holding my hand while getting the epidural, holding my leg(s) while pushing, and so much more. Most of all Kelli was patient, calm, and encouraging the whole time. Ultimately, at one point, Kelli suggested pushing on my side, which helped bring baby down in the Birth Canal and prevented me from needing a C section. Having Kelli there was great as I knew I had someone there for me, advocating for me, and keeping my needs, wants, and birth plan a priority.
