Testimonial for Katie Collins
I was so grateful to have Katie as my doula for my first birth in August 2016. I was nervous about delivering at Kaiser Sunset because you get whatever doctor happens to be on call instead of my prenatal OB. It was so nice having Katie there with us at our apartment before we went to the hospital and then through the entire delivery as a consistent presence. Katie met with my husband and me twice before our expected date to go over our birth plan and practice some labor comfort techniques. At the hospital, Katie was great at communciating with the nurses and doctors and making sure that I knew what was happening at all times. I had planned to have a drug-free labor, but the ride to the hospital was so terrible I requested an epidural soon after arriving at the hospital. Katie made sure I was serious about the request and supported my decision. During the final pushing phase, Katie was great at working with the nurses to suggest different positions and coaching me through the final hours. When our daughter was born Katie sprung into action taking pictures with my husband's iphone so we didn't miss any of those first special moments. Highly recommend Katie as a fabulous doula!
