Testimonial for Kelly Sunshine CD(DONA)
Kelly Sunshine was our Doula for the birth of our first child and we woud love to have her with us for our next birth. Kelly is friendly, warm, genuine, and highly knowledgeable; I instantly felt comfortable with her. When my labor began she was a reassuring voice, offering support and suggestions; communicating/coordinating care with my midwife. As my labor progressed, my husband and I chose to independently labor at home with Kelly periodically checking-in with us. My husband was so greatful to have Kelly available to us - she supported him, allowing him to support and help me through active labor. He felt that she encouraged us to take the lead and make decisions, but was also decisive when we needed her to be. Once we arrived at the birth center I remember hearing and feeling Kelly beside me and thinking, ok, everything is going to be ok. Kelly was an essential part of my birth experience - instructing me, soothing me, and cheering me on with each push. She worked so well with my midwife and birth attendents/nurses; I feel that she is an asset to any birth team. Pictures were important to me - Kelly used a digital SLR camera and captured stunning moments throughout the birth process. We have a crystal clear photo of our daughter's first breath! I will always be thankful to Kelly for her advocacy and support postpartum. When I needed extra attention due to a complication she not only cared for me, but also cared for my daughter and husband - words cannot express my gratitude. In addition Kelly provides placenta encapsulation/tincture - this service has been a postpartum life-saver! Kelly took time to write us a personalized birth story which we cherish and can share with our daughter once she is older. Kelly was wonderful - we highly recommend her as a Doula!
