Catholine was so intuitive with the care she provided during my labor. She took such good care of me, gave me a foot massage, lotion socks and just had all the tools to make my labor manageable. She made sure my wishes were heard and my birth plan was followed so well thanks to her. She even made sure my partner and mom were taken care of. She's so funny too, and laughter through pain is always needed! Such a wonderful human and doula.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support Catholine accorded me. From our very first meeting, she was warm, knowledgeable, and truly listened to my needs and birth preferences. Her calming presence and reassuring words gave me the confidence I needed every step of the way.

During labor, Catholine was an absolute rock. She guided me through breathing techniques, offered soothing comfort measures, and ensured my partner felt involved and supported as well. Even when I had to change the birth plan, she remained calm and helped me navigate everything with grace.

Her knowledge, kindness, and dedication made my birthing experience so much more positive and empowering. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula, and I highly recommend Catholine to any expecting parents looking for compassionate and professional support.

We are so grateful for the incredible postpartum support Catholine provided to our family. From the moment she joined us, her kindness, patience, and expertise made a world of difference during this new chapter of our lives. She not only took great care of our little one, Micah, but also provided invaluable support to my husband and me, helping us navigate parenthood with confidence.

Catholine’s attention to detail and genuine care were evident in everything she did, from teaching us essential newborn care skills to offering thoughtful guidance tailored to our needs. Her presence brought us so much comfort and reassurance.

We highly recommend Catholine to any family looking for compassionate and knowledgeable postpartum support.

Catholine Look served as my birth and post partum doula and I am profoundly grateful to her. While I cannot fully describe the benefit I received from her service in 2000 characters, my brief description is that Catholine is a knowledgeable and caring advocate to her clients.

Catholine has many years of experience in the medical profession generally and birth work in particular. As a patient, there were times that I was overwhelmed by my hospital experience. Catholine was helpful in creating space for me to ask questions of my medical providers so that I could make informed decisions. Simply, Catholine knows her stuff and helped me not get railroaded. She pushed to make sure that my providers were providing the care that I needed.

There were many aspects of my pregnancy, labor/delivery and postpartum period that were stressful as a first time mother. Catholine listened to me as a shared my fears and concerns and as well my excitment and joy.

I truly believe that I am a better mother because of working with Catholine.

She is an amazing doula to work with. I never felt alone. She has been so helpful to my husband and me. Additionally, she has always kept us informed and shared different useful resources with my family, just to make my experience better as a first-time mom in a foreign country. I recommend her to anyone looking for a positive energy person, charming, easygoing, loving, and kind doula.

I can't say enough about how incredible Catholine was as our doula. Her calming presence and wealth of knowledge made all the difference during such an important time in our lives. From our first meeting, she made us feel comfortable and empowered, always listening to our needs and providing unwavering support. During labor, Catholine was a steady, reassuring guide, helping us navigate each stage with confidence and care. Her compassion, patience, and encouragement were invaluable, and we truly couldn't have done it without her. We are forever grateful for her being a part of our birth journey. We loved working with Catholine and would highly recommend her.

Catholine is the best doula you could ever ask for she's amazing and she take her job very seriously. I love her I could not ask for a better doula

Catholine was honestly the best doula I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I've been a labor and delivery nurse for 9 years and have had many experiences working with various doulas. Catholine was not only supportive towards the patient, but to me the nurse as well. She was so intune to what the patient needed, and checked in with me with what she could do to support me, as part of the care team, as well. There was never tension around decision making and I fully appreciated that, as there can be with some personalities. She was so present with the patient and was such a good support. I hope to work with her again in the near future. I would actually love having her at each delivery I'm at! That's how supported I felt. Thank you, Catholine!

I am so happy to have Doula Catholine in our lives! She was amazing during my birth and incredible helpful during my postpartum. She's so loving and patient with my baby, very helpful, resourceful, funny and always making me feel so special and lifting my mood and confidence. We are blessed to have found her

I was the hospital nurse caring for a birthing family and Catholine brought fresh energy and ideas to support a young laboring mom. They already had a relationship of mutual trust which helped the birthing mother feel more at ease. Catholine's ideas for position changes and her emotional support made a big difference in the birth process. I would love to work with Catholine again. She also has experience doing breastfeeding support and her passion for birth and postpartum is very apparent!

Catholine has been working with me as a lactation consult for a little over 5 months now or ever since my little one has been in this world. When I say that she is amazing, I mean she is a wonderful resource, fellow mother, educator in everything baby or pregnancy, and even someone to just tell the big or little things about. She listens carefully and makes me feel comfortable in every single interaction. The only fault I have is that I wish I knew of her sooner so I could have had the wonderful experience of knowing her as a doula too! Just know if you choose Catholine she will do her best and be there every step of the way.

Hello, me and my girlfriend recently had to go through what seemed to be a nightmare of a pregnancy but turned into one of the most beautiful moments of our lives.  Our first pregnancy we didn't have a doula and Catholine showed us how that was a mistake not getting one.  She was an absolute angel sent to help us during the delivery.  She is very understanding and I get the sense she can read people very well because she knew exactly when to help and offered great pain relieving techniques from just simply moving or adding pressure is different spots.   I could go on for hours talking about how special she made this pregnancy but I'll keep it short and sweet.  Catholine was an AMAZING doula, if we have another child we would not even hesitate to give Catholine a call to be our doula again.  THANK YOU SO MUCH CATHOLINE!!
