Testimonial for Kathleen Wilson
Kathleen helped my sister, Joli Ammons, at the birth of my second son, Simon. They are both amazing at what they do and while Joli mainly focused on me, Kathleen played a special role. She helped out a lot with me, but the main thing that I am so grateful for is what she did to help my 5 year old son, Quinn. She made sure that he was calm and comfortable and eased any fears that he was experiencing. Any time he would get worried that I was in pain, because of the sounds I was making, she redirected his fears and showed him how fun it was to make animal noises with mom. When she could tell he was getting overwhelmed, she'd go in the other room and play with him. Even while she had her hands full entertaining him, she still foung the time to check on me and help Joli with repositioning Simon. When Simon finally made his debut, I remember looking up and seeing Quinn in Kathleen's arms, looking over everyone elses head so he could see his new baby brother. Kathleen made sure that he could see, and that hel felt safe and included. He was clinging to her in the sweetest way that told me that he trusted her, and that made me feel calm. Knowing that he was taken care of so well enabled me to focus on doing what I needed to do to deliver Simon, instead of anxiously worrying about how Quinn was handling things. Because of her, Quinn was able to be a part of the birth of his brother. She helped him understand what was happening so that he didn't feel scared. Anyone that would like their older children to be present for the birth of siblings should definitely consider having the Kathleen and Joli power house team present. They make everyone feel safe, calm, and strong. And also Kathleen is just a fun person and knows how to get you laughing, and in my opinion a good sense of humor is the key to getting through... well life in general.
