Testimonial for Kalea Harrison
Mom: We hired Kalea for the home water birth of our first child. With her help, I was able to have my almost 8 pound girl at home after a 10 hour labour, with aboslutely no complications.
I really appreciated how she spent as much time as I needed during our prenatal visits. She provided great support via text message in early labor, and was here within an hour when I asked her to come in active labour. She really helped me both physically and emotionally throughout labour, both talking me through my fears, and providing a hand to hold. She stayed much longer than she had to after the birth, and even helped my husband take down the birth tub! She did THREE post-partum visits, which I just thought was amazingly above and beyond, and was so appreciated because we just moved and have no family or friends in the area.
She also expertly encapsulated my placenta, which has really helped balance my emotions, and is giving me a huge milk supply boost. I can't imagine my birth without Kalea, and if we ever have another baby and we're still in this area, I would absolutely hire her again. She treated me more like a friend than a client, and I was totally comfortable with her the whole time. She also quickly provided the documentation we needed to have her fee reimbursed by our FlexSpending account through my husband's work, AND took some beautiful photos of the birth. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better doula, I whole-heartedly recommend her!
Dad: I found Kalea to be indespensable! She helped me keep my focus during my wife's labor. I knew that without her guidence I would forget to eat, drink water or rest and burn out worying about my wife during the earlier parts of labor. She went above and beyond my expectations by staying much later after the birth to ensure we were comfortable and secure in our home. She even snapped a few pictures at our request to preserve the moment for us! I would recomend Kalea for any expecting couple!
