Kholo was absolutely AMAZING to have by my side as I walked through my pregnancy journey as well as during and after my birth! Since the first time we talked on Zoom I could feel her joyful, enthusiastic and encouraging spirit through the screen! Ever since that day she has always taken the initiative to check on me, ask if I had any questions and research things I had questions about. She is very knowledgeable and literally God sent! I felt like she was picked just for me! She supported all my decisions and truly was my advocate in the delivery room! Not only did she speak up for me when something was needed, she knew what my birth plan was and helped me achieve the birth that I wanted which was a super natural birth! She prayed with and for me, God's presence was so strong in the room!! I am FOREVER grateful for Kholo and she will forever be a part of my life and apart of my family! She is such a special and beautiful person inside and out! I can't say thank you enough Kholo!!??

Kholo was and is AMAZING! She stayed with us for the duration of labor, offering continuous emotional, physical, and one-on-one relational support.

 


Having her care for our family allowed us to experience a better outcome for both our baby and my wife. As the father, I had someone I could lean on for support and to learn how to support my wife better.

 


Her encouragement and willingness to listen to our birth plan made a tremendous difference on our experience during labor, birth, and recovery.  The speed of the labor was a result from a positive atmosphere she cultivated along with her calming presence for the physical support needed. She was an insightful sounding board to advocate for key decisions aligned with our desires. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Kholo as your doula to enhance the experience such a precious moment for you and your family.

Kholo is phenomenal! I had Kholo as my birth and postpartum doula. she took care of me and my husband throughout the entire pregnancy journey and now postpartum. When I wasn’t sure of something Kholo would be right there explaining and reassuring me. As a first time mom, I cannot thank Kholo enough! She involved God through out the journey which made the experience even better. I will totally have her again for my second child!!!!

Kholo is simply a beautiful soul who guided me through the entire pregnancy and post partum journey. Kholo is so supportive, kind and wonderful. I was such an anxious first time mama and she was so invaluable for my emotional and mental health. She was so compassionate to all my concerns and worries, and always helped me brainstorm solutions to navigate my new journey of motherhood. Kholo's love for caring for mamma and baby as well as her knowledge of birthing and motherhood is immediately apparent. She is absolutely passionate about her job and will radiate this in her mannerisms and ways of providing support.

During my birthing process, Kholo was an absolute angel. I called her en route to the hospital and she came within the hour. I instantly felt more comfort and at ease when she arrived in the room. She held my hand patiently and guided me through breathing exercises and various positions to ease my contraction pains. She stayed beside me for the entire duration of labor and not only supported and empowered me, but she did the same for my husband via video call who was unfortunately unable to be present physically. Kholo filled my husband in on complete updates of my progress and eased my husband’s stresses of not being able to be present. She also eased and comforted my mother and answered all her questions. I couldn’t be more grateful for her physical and emotional support for our entire family. She was encouraging, super hands on and helpful. It was like she knew exactly what I need when I needed it. My birth experience was thankfully smooth due to Kholo's presence. 

I sincerely recommend Kholo to any woman who is embarking on the journey of motherhood. She will always have a special place in our family’s hearts. She is a great doula and friend :)

Let me start off by saying I honestly have to thank God for Kholo. She is truly heaven sent, from the moment we met she has been amazing from checking in on me every day to answering my questions and giving me really solid information when it came time for my labor Thursday night she stayed with me in the hospital, she held my hand and helped me labor my baby down as best as I could, and applied every use of natural pain management. It was simply amazing.Saturday morning when I had to get my cesarean she was so very attentive and positive and gave me all the encouragement and support that I needed. I could have not asked for a better Doula Kholo will forever have a place in my heart. She will definitely be my doula for my next baby

I got introduced to Ms Kholo as my doula at exactly 40 weeks. Though I was almost done with my pregnancy, I'll forever be grateful she caught me right at the end. From our first video call I knew she was God sent. That week she offered me exercises and labouring positions to help prepare my body. She taught me how to breathe through contractions and she constantly kept checking on me. Her help calmed my anxieties. The best part was when she would ask 'But what is your intuition saying?' This helped a lot because my doctor wanted to induce me and I was able to say no. It didn’t feel right. My baby was born the next day, before 42 weeks. Definitely coming back for her services after 3 years. May you continue to strive in your career, God knows we need people like you!
