Testimonial for Kerry Reynolds, CD(DONA), CHCE
After interviewing a number of doulas, my husband and I chose Kerry because of her calm, caring presence and the fact that she put us completely at ease. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. I honestly don’t think we would have made it through without her, especially when things got a bit more complicated than anticipated!
From our first meeting, Kerry answered all of our questions (even silly first-time parent concerns) articulately and without judgment. She referred us to helpful resources when appropriate, and acted as a sounding board when we simply needed to run things by someone far more knowledgeable than us.
While we’d planned to have a natural birth, a different outcome was in the cards. At my 40 week appointment, I had high blood pressure and a number of other symptoms indicating preeclampsia and was admitted to the hospital for an induction. Things progressed rapidly and in a direction that wasn’t desirable. Through it all, Kerry’s constant support and soothing influence helped both my husband and I remain relaxed and calm. In addition, she worked well as a team with my midwife and labor and delivery nurses. It was clear that they trusted and respected her.
We simply can’t thank Kerry enough for the part that she played in bringing our daughter into the world, and recommend her highly to others looking for a kind, warm person to help guide them through pregnancy and childbirth. She’s a gem!
