I had heard and read about doulas and decided to find one fr the birth of our first child. Kelly was referred to me by a friend who witnessed Kelly in action for her sister's childbirth expeience. Wow.... What a find. I thought she was great, but my husband raves on and on about her. I guess she made his day much easier too. She worked with us in advance via phone and at a meeting in person at our home. Then, when I went into labor, she coached me the entire time... allowing me to stay at home through much of my early labor, despite my water breaking. Kelly coached us thigh the entire 18 hour hospital experience as well. She knew the nursing staff at ScottSdale Shea, and got me set up with the "right" nurses. She helped us make medical decisions along the way, and was my representative when I needed help being logical. We will use her again for our next birth, and I have since referred her to several pregnancy friends/acquaintennces. Did I mention she came to my home the day I was released from the hospital to deliver my encapsulated placenta and photos from the birth? Amazing all around.
