Testimonial for Katie Rohs, CD(PALS), LCCE
My experience with Katie was fantastic. I met her through a childbirth education class and she said something in that class that resonated with me throughout my pregnancy and I'm now frequently reminded of it as a mother--that you will never be more judged in life than you will be as a parent. This seems like a straightforward statement but it spoke volumes to me in that there is no right or wrong way to parent, to be pregnant, or to have a baby.
I asked her to be my doula after this class and due to some scheduling availability, she ended up "sharing" me with another doula. The other doula (who was also fantastic!) ended up being my doula during my labor and birth, but Katie's pre and post partum support was amazing. She is warm, compassionate, kind and funny. She is thorough and calm, her demeanor makes you feel instantly at ease and you can tell she loves what she does. We had multiple pre birth visits where we discussed my birth plan, my visits with my healthcare provider, and what sort of role my partner would play in the day. She made sure that my husband, who was my primary birth coach, was comfortable in his role as a support person. She checked in via phone, text and email and also provided post partum visits to debrief with us about the birth experience and was seemingly unflappable when she heard about all of the different curveballs that labor can throw at you.
Hopefully, timing will work out in our favor next time and when I am ready to have another baby, she will be on the front lines as my doula. If you have the opportunity to meet with her--take it!! She is very well connected in the Seattle birth community so if for whatever reason she is unable to be your doula, I am confident in her ability to give quality recommendations for other doulas in the area. I wholeheartedly recommend Katie.
