Testimonial for Kelly Sunshine CD(DONA)
We had our first child in August 2015, with Tracy McDougall CNM at St. Joseph’s. Kelly played such a vital role in our natural birth, we could not have done it without her. We didn’t know whether or not we actually needed a doula, but decided it couldn’t hurt. Looking back we are so glad we chose to have a doula, and now know that the team surrounding you during birth is THE most important tool you can equip yourself with. We would not have delivered vaginally if it weren’t for our awesome team. Baby’s head was just a little wonky, and she (along with our midwife and nurses) helped position me during contractions in a way that helped baby go where he needed to go. We were so blessed to have the knowledgeable people around us that day. We are forever grateful for our team.
- She supported and guided myself and my husband every step of the way, from the first phone call telling her we were in labor, to the help with his first latch to breastfeed.
- She was a sounding board the few weeks before he came, answering the silly questions I had and letting me know what signs to look for.
- She helped after he was born too, with her awesome sunshine salve and referrals to great lactation consultants.
- She is genuine, she loves what she does, and it is evident the first time you meet her that she will be your best advocate no matter what birth experience you desire.
For us, having a doula for a natural birth is the best decision we made.
