Testimonial for Kimberly Sebeck
I hired Kimberly and her mentee, Kaitlyn Cook-Reed, halfway through my pregnancy, after deciding I wanted to attempt a VBAC. I had heard nothing but great things about Kim's services prior to hiring her, so the choice was easy to make. I knew going into my attempted VBAC that hiring a doula was a must, but I had no idea what an immense emotional and physical support Kim and Kaitlyn were really going to be. Before labor, they were there to answer any questions I had (and there were a lot of them!) with a quick text or Facebook message and provide me with the emotional support I needed. I had a foley bulb induction with pitocin that was taking its toll on me, to put it lightly. Kimberly and Kaitlyn were so supportive and encouraging, it's hard to even find the words to thank them. When I needed a bit of encouragement or a hand to hold or someone to bring me back to reality when I was overwhelmed by the whole experience, they were there and they went above and beyond. When I wanted to just quit, they reassured me that I was doing a fantastic job and that I could easily get through that next contraction. Having them with me most definitely added to my birth experience. I ended up needing a c-section, but sweet Kim & Kaitlyn were such an emotional support as I sobbed, thinking I had failed at my birth. Kim's presence is incredibly calming and Kaitlyn rubbed my back and feet throughout my entire labor. Kimberly was in the OR with my partner and I during surgery, taking photos of our baby's birth, and Kaitlyn was waiting in my room for me when we returned. My partner and I are both so thankful to have had them with us. For my next birth, it will be a tough decision which of them to hire, because even on her own, Kaitlyn was amazing! She seemed so experienced and at ease with her job. I would most definitely recommend either of them to anyone wishing to hire a knowledgeable, professional, supportive doula. They were amazing!
