Testimonial for Golden Thread Birth Collective
We had the incredible privilege to work with Kiona & Jaya during both birth and postpartum, and I cannot recommend them more highly! They are both high integrity, professional, warm, compassionate, excellent communicators, passionate about what they do, and have a great sense of humor. From the very first conversation, they both quickly established trust, asking insightful questions, deeply listening, and setting us up for success.
I had my dream birth experience in large part due to Kiona’s expertise, and emotional and physical support during 8+ hours of active labor. When my water broke before experiencing contractions in early labor, Kiona’s guidance helped us to feel informed and confident in our decision to continue early labor at home before heading to the hospital after labor was well established. At the hospital, Kiona was an absolute rock star and helped me labor on all fours, in the birth tub, with a rebozo, etc. and stay hydrated/fueled. She advocated for us with upmost calm and professionalism, and brought amazing energy to every aspect of the birth. As an introvert, I went on a deeply internal journey - knowing Kiona was there at my side enabled me to fully commit to experiencing the full range of emotions and sensations of labor. She also seamlessly involved my partner in the birth and they formed a dream team! We are forever grateful.
During postpartum, Kiona and Jaya helped us settle into breastfeeding, diapering, soothing techniques, bathing, baby massage, learn our baby, manage maternal recovery, and get much-needed rest. We trusted them absolutely and relied on their expertise to get us through the critical first few weeks postpartum. I was feeling incredibly raw emotionally and their support meant so much to us as we established new routines and laid the foundation for our new family of three. They are also both awesome people that we enjoyed getting to know and hope to work with again!!!
