Testimonial for Kathleen Wilson
Kathleen was in one word an 'angel'. This is the only word I can use to describe the woman who helped make my birth experience possible. Yes, my baby wuold have been born with or without her, but it is her involvement that made the experience all the more rich and meaningful. I decided to hire a doula because I wanted a knowledgable advocate, I wanted a woman to lean on, to hold me and to support me through all the high and low moments of my birthing experience. My husband was part of the process, but I knew that when 'push came to shove' (haha literally), that he would not be the person to best support me through the tough spots of labor and delivery. The best place for my husband was at my side, loving me, being there for me emotionally and supporting me as only a husband can. But as far as being my labor coach, I knew he would be a fish out of water, even with all the education, books and coaching we Both received.
As soon as I met Kathleen I knew she was for me, with her - bright smile, her open energy, and her warm and loving demeanor. I believe thats how it should be when you choose a doula, you need to feel an instant connection. She will be with you at the point in your life that you are most strong and most vulnerable - so you need to feel that instant connection and trust.
Kathleen helped me through my very long labor process. I labored for almost 48hrs and pushed for 3 hrs...while I was on crutches. She stayed with me (slept on my sofa) and lovingly (rubbed my back) and patiently (breathed with me) through my long hours of laboring until we finally reached that momentous moment, "It's time to go to the hospital." When that moment arrived she dressed me, massaged me (I had some back labor), and escorted me to the hospital, where she proceeded to breathe with me, push with me, and massage me - until finally my beautiful baby was born.
She was my angel!
