Testimonial for Katie Rohs, CD(PALS), LCCE
I don't even know where to begin with my gushing about the positive experience we had with Katie as our doula. She really listened to me about the kind of birth I wanted to have, without any kind of judgment, and did her best to make my birth experience the way I wanted it to be. She didn't make assumptions--she LISTENED. I'd had a rough time with my first born (he was a 27-weeker and spent 9 weeks in the NICU) and had a lot of anxiety throughout this pregnancy, and Katie was able to help aleviate some of that anxiety by helping me talk through my fears. She was also helpful in suggesting things, such as bringing our own receiving blankets, to help us avoid some PTSD triggers for my husband and I.
Katie was with us both through a false-alarm hospital trip at 37 weeks, and the real deal at 40+. She came to our house to meet up with us before heading out to the hospital, and stayed with us at the hospital until we were ready to transfer up to a recovery room. We had Katie take pictures during the birth, and honeslty, I can't figure out how she did such a great job capturing those memories on film AND being so supportive during the pushing. After we came home from the hospital, Katie came to check on us and of course have a snuggle with our new baby.
I think what I like best about Katie is how filled with love she is. She turned what could have easily been another traumatic birth experience, into a really positive one, where I felt surrounded by comfort and support. I have recommended Katie to everyone I know who is having a baby because I can't imagine a better doula than Katie.
