I hired Kate as a student doula back when I was expecting my third child. I hadn't had a doula for my other 2 and, know this was my last baby, wanted to experience what it was like. Upon meeting her, I could tell she was kind-hearted. She supported me and listened to my birth 'plan'. I ended up going into labor in the middle of the night, approximate 1 week early, and she was ready to go! I progressed super fast in triage. Once I got to my room, I asked for an epidural though the anestheisologist was backed up. While my husband is great, I was so glad to have her there as an extra support. She helped with massages, cool wash cloths and more (things my husband wasn't prepared to do, especially as everything went so quick.) It was even Kate's leg that I gripped while I roared my baby into the world, my first unmedicated birth. I describe having Kate there as an extra, needed crutch. One crutch may work, but two is better. I am so glad she was there to support my family. In fact, we have remained friends years later! Since, she has become a mom herself and understands the highs and the lows of pregnancy and postpartum. I, no doubt, would trust her again for doula support, whether it be pregnancy or postpartum.
