I've been thinking for weeks and weeks about what I wanted to say in this testimonial. I have so many positive thoughts regarding having Kathleen by our side through our pregnancy and birth of our son Gavin. When we met Kathleen for the first time my husband and I both knew she was the doula we wanted. From the moment we hired her she began to help empower both he and I in our journey. She helped us become informed. She helped me focus on what type of birth I wanted. I changed my mind about where I was going to birth shortly after hiring Kathleen and I was feeling anxious, she was able to calmly talk to me and help me with my new decision. Never did she make a decision for me, but she would just be there to give suggestions and information based on where I was leading things. My husband really took to Kathleen and absorbed all the information she gave us like a sponge. We also took her Rebel Birth class which only helped to further prepare us for everything. The way Kathleen has set up her practice is truly so helpful, besides her being there as our doula she also offers a slew of other resources. She has a group that meets at her house every other Friday where I have been able to meet other moms who are going through the same new changes as me which really has helped becoming a new mommy not be quite as isolating. My sons birth went pretty much exactly as I hoped it would. Without Kathleen helping us I think things would have turned out not nearly as exceptional as they did. She helped me be conscientious about my posture in regards to the baby's positioning, she helped guide us on when to go into the hospital and she helped me focus during labor on sticking to my plan of going drug free. Kathleen is such an excellent doula and a beautiful spirit. If we do have more children we will definitely ask Kathleen to do us the honor of being our doula again.
