Testimonial for Kate Payne CPD (CBI)
If you are thinking about hiring a postpartum doula, look no further - Kate is incredible and the one! I will be singing her praises and recommending her to all moms forever. She managed to transform a very overwhelming, new, and unknown time for me and made the newborn phase manageable and even more importantly, as a first time mom, put me at ease. She is kind, thoughtful, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and someone you want to be around. I had never been around babies before, so learning from Kate was invaluable. She was so sweet with my baby girl and helped us establish a routine and simply just how to take care of a baby. She taught us tips and tricks like how to swaddle, how to encourage nap time, how to give a bath, how to clip her nails, how to work the breastfeeding pump, the list goes on - any question I had, Kate was prepared to support. Doing things like this for the first time with Kate, a true baby whisperer, built up my confidence and made me feel extremely supported in this new journey. When unforeseen things came up, she was a steady presence and I could count on her to help me in any situation. She is a joy to spend time with and especially when having someone in your home, I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoyed spending time with her. She has an innate way of knowing what needs to be done and what I needed most - encouraging me to rest, making a nutritious meal, listening to my struggles and making me feel heard and cared for. Her help around the house like making dinners for us and tidying up also allowed my husband and I to be able to lean into this special and unique (and sometimes scary!) time and be able to fully enjoy it.
Kate is wonderful and is the best decision I made postpartum. I can't thank her enough for all of the help, support and care she provided for my family and I feel so lucky to have had her and would highly recommend her to any family!
