I picked Kelly as my doula for my second child because of her personality and knowledge and understanding of the natural birth process. She was easy to talk to from the start. Even though she had been up for over 24 hrs prior to my delievery for another one, she was very alert and supportive through out my delievery. After laying down for a hour, my contractions had stopped and my OB was talking about starting a little picitocin to get contractions started again, but Kelly knew exactly how to bring them on naturally. She even side stepped the stairs and power walked with me. During transition she seemed to be able to read my mind and tell me exactly what I needed to continue with my natural birth. She seemed to be able to read me and know what was and wasn't working and find another way to help control my contractions and pain. As I was sitting in the tub and she was on the floor next to me, she helped distract me by showing me pictures of cute animals, which is something I needed at the time. Very talented in multitasking ~ while supporting me through contractions, she was also taking pictures but I never felt she wasn't there for me or not paying attention. I didn't realize until afterwards that she had been taking pictures of my daughter being born. I thought she had been at my side the whole time! I'm so thankful for the pictures and memories she has provided me and for writing down my birth story. She knew how to keep me in control of my contractions and able to work through each one. She was my voice when I needed her to be. I loved my birth experience and would use her again in a heartbeat. Kelly was exactly the doula I needed to have an awesome experience. Thank you Kelly!!
