My fee includes 2-3 prenatal visits to equip, plan, and prep you and your partner for birth and postpartum, including a customized birth plan. In addition to phone, text, and email support through pregnancy, you will have access to resources, information, and referrals depending on your needs. I will go on-call for you at 37 weeks and provide continuous labor and birth support, including emotional support and hands-on physical support, until 1-2 hours after your baby's birth. Postpartum, I follow up with check-ins via phone/text and provide an in-person visit within the first couple weeks. My services are customized to fit you and your authentic birth journey, so I'd love to talk. It all starts with a free consult, so please reach out to see if my services are a good fit for you!

Post a testimonial for Kim Allen
11/1/2024
Kim was truly made for this work! Her calming presence and genuine care for others makes her an incredible choice for doula support. My birth did not go as planned and Kim was my constant from beginning to end (which was very very long!!). I planned a home birth but ended up needing hospital support and Kim was there by my side the entire time. Not only was she amazing during the birth (offering words of encouragement, guidance, hands on relief, etc) but also supportive for several weeks after! I can't thank her enough. My husband and I are both so grateful for her. Highly recommend Kim!!

After a really difficult first birth, I decided to hire a doula for my second pregnancy. Kim was recommended by my Pelvic PT, and I knew from our first meeting that I wanted her by my side for my second delivery. Kim not only listened to my story, desires, and fears, but she also followed-up in ways that communicated that she actually cared, understood, and was committed to working with me to have the experience I hoped for. Her steady, calm, and confident presence allowed me to relax into the birth experience, as well as helped my husband have peace and be a better support. During labor she always had just the thing I needed, whether it was emotional support or hands-on comfort techniques. It was a beautiful and peaceful birth experience (even a nurse said so!), and I don’t think that would have been the case without Kim. She far exceeded my expectations for a doula, and I wish I had been able to have her support during the birth of my first child. I highly recommend her!

YouTube videos will only get you so far. My husband and I were very grateful to have someone as kind and knowledgeable as Kim to guide us through the preparation for the birth of our first child. She not only provided information and resources, but was helpful with hands-on instruction. I think the most helpful part was discussion and answering our questions. She was never pushy but helped us make good decisions in preparation for the birth. It was great to know we had someone present for labor and birth who not only knew what she was doing but knew us and what we wanted. I didn't know exactly what I was getting when we hired her, but she went above and beyond my expectations for what a Doula will do for you.
