Testimonial for Katie Terry
As soon as I found out that I was pregnant with my second child I knew that I wanted a more natural experience than what I had with my first. Unfortunately I did not have a very supporting family of my decision. At the time I had never even heard of the word "Doula". After looking into what classes my area had to offer I found a natural birthing class and immediately called. I spoke with Katie and sign up for the natural birthing class. I was so excited. In the process of finding the class I found the Doula group page of the women in my area. (Also the same group of Doulas that offered the natural birthing class in my area.) I started looking into what a Doula was. And wanted to add one to my birthing team to help me achieve the birth that I wanted. My husband and I meet Katie at the natural birthing class. After the class my husband looks over at my and ask "Why aren't we hiring her to be our doula??" I meet up with her later on and hired her to be our Doula. I felt very comfortable around her and knew that she would be a positive support during my labor. I could tell that she wanted me to have the birth that I wanted. And she helped me achieve that birth. She was there to walk up and down several flights of stairs. She was there listening while I rambled on and on, because I talk ALOT! It was like two old friends chit chatting through the hole labor. When the labor got ruff she was there reminding me I could do it. When the labor got fast she was there to keep me calm and reminding me to "Blow the feather!" She was there for every bit of it. I would highly recommend Katie as a doula. She is worth MORE than every penny. She would be a positive addition to your birthing team.
