Testimonial for Kathleen Wilson
I'd recommend Kathleen highly to anyone. A friend told me she was the best in the business, and that she really helped ease her mind during delivery and definitely was the #1 factor preventing her from having a c-section by engaging well with the doctors. So I set up my first appt with Kathleen and feel like we really clicked. She is an awesome listener, and really took my concerns and wishes into account. She drove well over an hour each way to my house for quite a number of very helpful visits. Anytime I had questions, she gave thorough, informed answers. I read the books she recommended, and took her advice to get training for our rambunctious dog to help her adjust to life with the new baby. We worked with the trainer and our dog ended up being perfectly safe and friendly with the baby from day 1. Kathleen also referred me to a wonderful prenatal massage therapist in her doula group, Rowan TwoSisters, and I had 5 massages. I can't imagine a better massage therapist; she has strong hands, is very knowledgeable, and great to talk to. When I was induced because of my bp, I was in touch with Kathleen and she offered to come to the hospital anytime, even knowing it might take a while. I gave it some time on my own with my husband in the hospital, but she stayed in touch. She came the next day, with her wonderful partner Joli. The drs had said I needed to have my waters broken, and I was concerned about that because the baby and I were not in distress. Kathleen helped me understand that I could choose to have it done later in the day, and that is what I did. It was helpful that Kathleen knew a lot of my doctors and nurses; she'd worked in my hospital many times. She stayed overnight with us and took turns helping me all night. Then when he was born we celebrated!
