Testimonial for Katie Terry
We had a great experience with Katie as our doula! From being excited and offering guidance early on in my pregnancy to checking up on us days after our son was born, Katie was professional and helpful. She answered my questions along the way and provided resources to gain knowledge and stay healthy during pregnancy. When it was time to deliver, it was comforting to my husband and I as first time parents to have someone supporting and working with us who knew the hospital staff and where to go. My husband didn’t have to worry about finding the nurse or getting me more ice chips and was completely freed up to be by my side. Katie took the time to learn what kind of birth experience I was aiming for and did all she could to make it happen. She created a calm environment and was able to communicate what was going on with my body and what the hospital staff needed to do. I felt very reassured with her knowledge, experience, and good relationship with the hospital. She was lovingly tough and pushed me when I needed to focus and help my body keep progressing through contractions but was gentle too. She stayed with us as long as I needed her to in order to get nursing get started. She continued to contact me after delivery to answer any questions and encouraged us as new parents. Her passion and love for what she does shinned through when our son arrived and she got to hold him and share in our excitement. Overall, my husband and I couldn’t have had the natural delivery experience I wanted without Katie, and I would use her again no questions asked! My family who was present with us at the birth feel the same way and now recommend a doula like Katie to everyone who asks about our experience!
