Testimonial for Kim James
In honor of Doula Month, I wanted to take a moment to share my appreciation for Kim. She is an amazing doula!
I first met Kim at a party through a family connection before I was even pregnant and found her very compelling. When I learned I was pregnant the first time (actually the second time, too) she was one of the first people I told and she was a great resource because she is so well connected within the Seattle birthing community. In order to get to know her better, we decided to take her birth education class through Great Starts. That was a really wonderful way to learn more about her style and it affirmed for me that she is nurturing, approachable and honest, with a great sense of humor. All of which I valued in the delivery room.
Both of my labors went quickly and it was an asset having Kim's support throughout them. She was helpful in guiding us to the hospital when it was time (just in time), advocating on my behalf with the nursing team during my labor and coaching my husband and sister as my support team. During the height of my labor, she was affirming about the hard work I was doing to get my babies out into the world and a good cheerleader.
Kim is so wonderful that I wish all the women in my life could have her by their side when having a baby!!!
Very best,
Erin (on behalf of our entire family)
