Testimonial for Kim Turton Palmatary
Kim was with us for the birth of both of our children, and we were so thankful both times to have her there. We highly recommend Kim.
With our first, our son Fraser, we didn't know what to expect - from labour, from a Doula, from the nurses, from anything. Kim was our kind, experienced guide. She guided my husband with ideas of how to help me (both births were non-C-section). He wouldn't have really known what to do without her, and I was in no position to coach him with how to coach me. Kim also called on nurses and took charge in a few instances when we might not have had the gumption to get them in line.
Kim has a great energy. She is totally there for you, but not in your face in any way. She is calming but not sappy. She is knowledgable and reassuring.
So the second time around we figured we knew what we were doing - who needs a doula? But we thought "just to be safe" we would engage Kim again. And we were SO glad we did. Our daughter Holland came quite fast, as many seconds do, but without Kim telling me to let Holly do the work, to relax and just let Holly do the work, the experience would not have been as "enjoyable" as it truly was. And that is saying something! Kim made labour enjoyable the second time around.
We would highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a doula.
