Testimonial for Kathleen Wilson
Kathleen was exactly what I was looking for in a doula: a strong, funny, knowledgable woman whose confidence would be contagious. She was absolutely brilliant before, during and after our planned natural hospital birth. I called or texted her way too often in the last few weeks, paranoid labor was starting, only to see the contractions stop altogether. When we finally went into labor, Kathleen was just coming off of a long night assisting another woman's birth, though you wouldn't have known it from looking at her.
When I was researching doulas, I was impressed by her use of apprentices (others had backup doulas, but no one they seemed to be actively mentoring), and the reviewers who mentioned Kathleen's good interactions with hospital staff. My doctor was prepared for an antagonistic relationship when I mentioned the word "doula"...but that never materialized. Both Kathleen and her apprentice were well-received by the initially skeptical staff (or as well-received as one could hope for!) and thanks to their care and encouragement, I had a completely unmedicated, uncomplicated birth, which was AWESOME. Meeting our daughter that way was priceless and I'd use/recommed Kathleen in a heartbeat. She is a doula rock star!
