Testimonial for Kathleen Wilson
Working with Kathleen was one of the smartest decisions we made during our first pregnancy. We hoped to be able to have a natural childbirth and I credit Kathleen for helping make that possible. Prior to the birth, she helped us prepare and educate ourselves so we felt more knowledgeable and confident. When I had a bump in the pregnancy road with some testing, she was calming, caring, and more helpful than the nurses had been at my Drs office. Her years of experience helped give us and especially my husband confidence. Rookies that we were, I only figured out I was in labor when I was vomiting with every contraction. Once Kathleen arrived, she used aromatherapy and the vomiting stopped so I was relieved I wouldn't need fluids at the hospital. My husband was elated she was there to help care for me while he figured out what to do with the dog, loaded bags in the car, etc. She was the rational one for us both and gave us both a lot of comfort. It made a world of difference at the hospital knowing Kathleen knew us, knew what we wanted and could help communicate that collaboratively rather than combatively with the drs and nurses. Her follow up visit helped us figure out that we needed and helped us get assistance with breastfeeding. Kathleen was the most expensive Doula we interviewed and worth every penny. If our son has a sibling, scheduling Kathleen to work with us will be our first call. We are so thankful that we stumbled upon learning what a doula is and found Kathleen to walk with us.
