Testimonial for Kelly Sunshine CD(DONA)
I knew from the beginning I wanted to have a doula to support and help guide me to achieve a natural labor & delivery. After meeting with several doulas, my husband and I knew that Kelly was the best fit for us. Her personality was warm & she was easy to talk to. We also appreciated her professionalism, her detailed doula contract and her experience. During my pregnancy, she answered questions I had, gave me constant encouragement that I could do it and that my body was made to birth my baby. When we met with Kelly in the last month of my pregnancy, she listened to what I wanted in my birth plan and reassured me that she would be there as an advocate for me during my labor. She provided tools and resources to help my body prepare for labor, as well as post-partum recovery. The biggest impact she made came on the day of my daughter's birth. As my body was getting close to labor, I knew in my mind and heart that I was holding myself back, and mentally was trying to hold on to the control of going into labor. Kelly sensed this during our conversation on the phone, so she prayed with me. It was what I needed. She prayed for me, my baby, & over the entire laboring experience. Later we arrived at the hospital and Kelly arrived promptly. She was a huge encouragement, was constantly by my side, assisting me through the contractions, giving me verbal affirmations, and physical help as well by allowing me to lean on her, squeeze her hand during the pain and keep me focused. Approximately 45 minutes later, our precious daughter arrived. I was able to have the amazing, natural birth experience I had prayed for. We also were blessed with beautiful photos that Kelly captured during my labor & delivery, as well as a detailed birth story to have as a keepsake. I highly recommend Kelly to any mama who is looking for outstanding support, encouragement and guidance for their journey through labor & delivery.
