Kendall was an absolute godsend during our pregnancy and birth journey. As first time parents, we felt SO lost. The lack of dedicated support in the system was so apparent right away, and we began our search to find the compassion , emotional support and care we needed , esp for me as a first time mom! Our first discussion with Kendall made us feel so comfortable and like there was such a personal connection , Kendall was so knowledgeable and so committed to ensuring that I would have the support I needed thru every step of my pregnancy and post-partum. She was someone that I immediately knew I could trust and be comfortable around and want her there with me every step of the way, including during my delivery. Kendall provided support and assistance throughout my pregnancy beyond what I could have ever imagined. As someone who had an extremely difficult pregnancy with several hospitalizations, Kendall was there for our family every step of the way, helping us find new care when things with our existing provider weren’t going well, being by our side with several hospital stays and going out on a limb to be a vocal advocate for what was always best for me and our baby. Kendall went above and beyond after so many unexpected turns in our birth story, spent dedicated time visiting our baby in the NiCU at a moments notice when we delivered prematurely in an emergency situation, and was constantly there as a sounding board, resource , and 24-7 support system for our entire family. We have never felt so comfortable being open and honest with someone. She is so passionate about her work, her families and the moms in her care, and it shows!! Whether we had a perfect pregnancy or one filled with the challenges and scares our family faced, We can’t imagine doing it or going through the journey without Kendall. You never know what resources you may need until you need them, and Kendall was there with us every step of the way.

Kendall made my birth experience the beautiful experience that it was! I met her early on in the pregnancy (this was my first) but wanted all the information and all the tips and tricks for a safe delivery right away and boy did she provide! Kendall is the sweetest, most attentive, educated doula I've met-and I've met quite a few. My labor and delivery were apparently abnormally expedient for a first baby, and I attribute that to Kendall's suggestions. Her love and guidance didn't stop there though, she supported us in multiple ways when we returned to the hospital when our newborn was one week old, and we still talk babies now even though mine is almost one year old! I can't say thank you enough to Kendall or express what she and her care has meant to us. My family has a lot of love for Kendall.
