Testimonial for Katie Immel
When my wife and I were expecting our first child, my wife took the time to educate me on the importance of having a doula and how much more comfortable she would be if we had one. Her comfort was my primary concern, so we set up a meeting with Katie Immel. From the moment we met Katie, we felt immediately comfortable with her. She was open minded and very knowledgeable on how we wanted our specific birth (holistic birth, no drugs or interventions). Katie made us feel confident in our decision to proceed the way we had intended. When labor started, Katie was VERY helpful in providing comfort which allowed us to labor at home as long as possible. When the moment finally arrived (actually EARLY morning), we contacted Katie to let her know we were going to the hospital and she was immediatly responsive. She met us at the birthing center at 230am and had brougth things to help make my wife more comfortable during the active labor. She came prepared with all of the comforting measures we could have asked for. As a first time father, I would have been lost without Katie and my wife would have been REALLY stressed out. My wife went through 23 hours of early labor and 5 hours of active labor before our daughter was born and Katie was a vital part of our birthing experience. I cannot say enough great things about how supportive, helpful, and motivating she was and there is not a day that goes by where I can't imagine NOT having had Katie as a part of our greatest moment in the lives of my wife and I. Katie was great and we consider her part of the family.
