Testimonial for Kjerstin Scheyer
My husband and I are very glad we hired Kjerstin as our doula. If we're pregnant again in NYC, she will be one of the first people we call to ask to help again!
This was our first pregnancy, and Kjerstin was the perfect mixture of informative & reassuring. Our prenatal meeting in our home was thorough and included very helpful hands-on labor techniques and breathing. These were great to have in our toolkit during early labor, before we called her in to the hospital.
She was also helpful throughout pregnancy in recommending various resources - through her recommendations, I received great virtual pelvic floor PT to help with pubic pain in the third trimester.
When (to our surprise) I was induced at 37 weeks, Kjerstin was ready to come into the hospital whenever we decided we wanted her support. In the labor & delivery room, she was invaluable in helping my husband support me. She was unobtrusive, ever-encouraging, helped with hands-on comfort measures & position changes, and had a calm, steady presence. When we decided on various interventions, she helped remind us of questions to ask and of the priorities we had previously shared with her. She was very knowledgeable, yet content to let my husband & I be the decision-makers. No matter what turns my labor took, she was fully supportive of each new decision.
We are deeply grateful for Kjerstin's support during such a vulnerable, novel life event. Her warmth, calm professionalism, and depth of knowledge were so beneficial.
From one mom to another, I heartily recommend you reach out and get to know her on a virtual intro call to decide if she'd be a good fit for you.
