Testimonial for Kim James
Kim James was such a comfort at the birth of my son, then again 18 months later for the birth of my daughter. I was lucky to be able to have her gently guide both my husband and dear friend who where also present at the births. Kim's calm presence helped me to focus when I needed to, laugh and take a break when I felt up to it, and coached our little team right through to the happy end. Her firm belief in me and my own power helped me though a couple of rough moments...she knew just the right moments to step in and provide further instruction. My husband appreciated her guidance at a time when he felt at a bit of a loss, she stepped up and showed him how to help be more comfortable without being obtrusive. My second birth experience was a bit more complicated as we needed a bit more supervision from the Doc's because of a small birth defect in the baby, but she still was able to keep my husband and friend focused on me and the process of bringing on the baby. Kim educated me when I had questions prior to 'birth-day'...she is a wealth of knowledge and is really passionate about her work. I can't imagine not having a Doula!
Thank you Kim for being there on two of the most special and empowering days of our lives. I am glad to have had you there.
