Testimonial for Kelly Sunshine CD(DONA)
Kelly was our back-up doula but we couldn't have been luckier to have her. Our connection was serendipitous: my nickname for our daughter in utero was "Sunshine" and our planned Doula was out of town for 2 weeks of our due date month. It was all just meant to be when our daughter decided to come when Kelly was on call! There really are not enough good things I could say about Kelly. She is incredibly supportive, calm, and positive. I didn't know until afterwards, but she was supporting another mom in labor while staying in communication with me while I labored at home for the early stages. To me, that says something about how dedicated she is to her moms. She would call or text me to check-in and provided amazing over the phone support and instruction to me and my husband. I ended up laboring at home for about 28 hours with slow progressing contractions, a time that my husband and I were able to spend together. On the afternoon of day 2, she listened to one of my contractions over the phone and was able to tell my husband it was time for me to come in.
In active labor, I cannot think of a single moment she was not by my side. Talking to me, coaching me, giving the best hip compressions imaginable - I swear that she would make the pain of the contraction disappear with those. We talked about different laboring positions, not only for comfort during the progression of the contractions, but she really helped get me into productive situations. When it was time to push, she was cheering me on and filling me with praise. An awesome coach!
We also used Kelly for her Placenta Encapsulation services. I highly recommend doing this! She delivered as soon as she had promised, and even met me at a random location to personaly deliver. She continues to be a support and resource and has worked with many of my mama friends.
A beautiful woman, friend,and teacher. Thank you, Kelly!
