Testimonial for Kerry Reynolds, CD(DONA), CHCE
We are so grateful that we found Kerry to assist with the birth of our first son. From the first time I met Kerry, our relationship felt immediately close, like old friends. Kerry has a generous, loving spirit. She is always very positive and upbeat and has tremendous energy.
As first time parents, my husband and I took a lot of comfort in her experience and knowledge. She inspired confidence in me, put me at ease, and quelled fear during the most difficult times. All of her advice and suggestions before, during, and after his birth have been extremely helpful.
Kerry was extremely supportive of my desire to have a natural childbirth and did everything she could to help me have the experience I wanted. But, when it turned out that I had to have a c-section, she was especially adept at supporting me through the change in our birth plan. Even a week after the birth, when I expressed a few doubts about the c-section and questioned if there were other things we could have tried, Kerry was very reassuring and helped me to put those doubts aside.
Kerry was right by my side the entire time: through 12 hours of labor, through the decision to move forward with a c-section, in the operating room during the surgery, and afterwards in the recovery room to assist with initial breast feeding. I can't imagine what my childbirth experience would have been like without her. She was my anchor and she consistently supported me exactly the way I needed to be supported. My husband was a wonderful birth partner as well, but he couldn't have given me what Kerry was able to give.
For my next child, I absolutely want Kerry by my side, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for support during their childbirth.
