Katie was our doula and attended both of children's births. She has a great personality; she's so easy to talk to and has a calm and supportive demeanor. She is an excellent resource on all things pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and newborn. My goal for both births was to go all natural and she was vital in achieving that. I had a very long labor with my first and Katie and my husband made the perfect birth team for me. Having her there enabled my husband to run to the bathroom or grab a quick bite over the course of the night and into the morning without leaving me unattended during my difficult contractions. She had lots of great suggestions for different positions and she stayed positive when things were taking a long time to progress. Without her, I think my husband and I would have doubted ourselves and may have given in to interventions that were not part of my birth plan. To this day, my husband still sings her praises. Being able to text or call her with random questions when I was pregnant and when caring for my newborns was so valuable and a huge relief for a nervous first (and second) time mom. I'm so happy that we picked Katie and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula or anyone interested in giving birth all naturally.
