I can say, with no doubt, that Kathleen made my non-medicated, hospitalized VBAC happen.
Desperate for a VBAC, we interviewed a handful of doulas. My husband, whom I fully expected to say "pick whoever you want, honey" said "I think we both know Kathleen is the right doula for you." She has a very special talent for being supportive of your preferred choices, while preparing you for all possibilities all at the same time. She absolutely does not judge your choices/decisions; she wants you to have YOUR best birth experience.
Additionally, Kathleen helped me through my VBAC at a hospital that does not have a good reputation for supporting VBACs, or frankly non-medicated births, at all. This was one of my biggest concerns, and I can honestly say there was not an ounce of tension in my labor and delivery room at any time; she worked calmly and professionally with my nurses and the doctor who delivered my baby. I received many compliments from my doctor's staff after my daughter's birth and our doctor said she thought our birth did a tremendous service at that hospital, as there had been 'buzz' about it for a few days following.
Please do yourself a favor and request an interview with Kathleen! You won't be disappointed.
