The experience we had with Kelly Martin was nothing but exceptional. We had never heard of a Doula before and didn't know what to expect. We met with Kelly Martin for the first time and were blown away by not only her professionalism but her ability to connect with us as a couple expecting our first child. Kelly Martin gave us all of the information we could have ever wanted or needed in regards to pregnancy and birth. We had specific needs for information and she obtained it for us and taught it to us. We had an issue with the building Kelly was contracted out of, so Kelly offered herself as an in-home Bradly teacher. She came to us weekly and was so very devoted to us as a couple and new parents. I had to be induced, so when we arrived in the hospital to get ready for the birth, the nursing staff and Midwives were taken aback by our knowledge of the processes. I knew what to expect at every step. Kelly Empowered us as parents with the knowledge and confidence to start parenting before our son even arrived. Without Kelly Martin, our birthing experience would have not gone the way we wanted at all (of course you always have to leave room for the unexpected). Even with the changes we needed to make in our birth plan, we were knowledgable about our options and what pros and cons came with each. The hospital staff could not do what they wanted or what was "routine". They needed to follow our requests. Kelly Martin is someone I would recommend to many people, and if I ever have another child, I will be calling Kelly to be my Doula.
