I first met Katie when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. I had already hired her friend/associate to be my doula. My husband and I attended her birthing classes and I hired her to encapsulate the placenta. We both felt very comfortable with her and kept in touch via email/Facebook. She called dibs on being my doula for our next baby.
When I became pregnant the second time, just 6 short months after my first daughter was born, I immediately emailed Katie to tell her and book her for my second daughter's birth. She was a great resource to me during my pregnancy, she offered support and advice regarding breast feeding while pregnant and helped me decide on a new care provider since I had been unhappy with my previous one.
We were glad to have her at our side when our second daughter (quickly!) entered the world. Her calm words in my ear gave me the confidence to give birth even though the nurses were telling me to stop pushing (only because the doctor wasn't there yet). I had some complications a couple of weeks post delivery and Katie was just a phone call away.
I am happy to call Katie my friend and would reccommend her to anyone who is having a baby.
