Testimonial for Kim Turton Palmatary
Kim is a wonderful and experienced doula! She was very calm and reassuring throughout my pre and post care and entire (and rather long!) labour. She knew exactly what I needed when I needed it. It was as if she could read my mind! My contractions were so intense that it was hard to verbalize what I needed (I'm not even sure if I even knew what I needed at the time!), but thankfully Kim knew exactly what would make me feel some relief through my contractions. Whether it was pouring water on my tummy in the tub or massaging my back, Kim had amazing intuition that helped me get through the intensity of labour. Kim also took notes during my labour and wrote a birth story of our baby boy's entry into this world. This was a really nice touch, particulary since I was in the "zone" and didn't remember many aspects of my labour and what was going on around me. The birth story also helped me make sense of decisions that were made during my labour and helped weave a narrative of what actually happened on that very long and beautiful day. I would highly recommend Kim as a doula. I really didn't know what to expect from my labour and was very thankful that Kim and her exceptional intuition were there to soothe and reassure me. What I appreciated most about Kim was that I didn't need to vocalize or even think about what I needed because she anticipated my needs and it turns out that this was exactly what I needed to get through the truly amazing experience of giving birth.
