Testimonial for Kiera Curtis
We hired Keira as our doula for my third pregnancy. My previous pregnancy had ended in a devastating loss and my husband and I were super anxious and decided to hire a doula to help during the pregnancy, the birth and post partum period. When I had my first son, my labor did not go as wanted and I wanted help to come up with a birth plan and get support. Keira was WONDERFUL. She kept in touch during my pregnancy always asking me if I was okay or if I needed anything. When I told her some trouble I was having with my OB, she volunteered to come to an appointment with me so she could meet him! I was so greatful for that. We spoke on the phone several times and also via text message. She gave us resources to read during my pregnancy and answered any questions we had. She even went beyond and invited me over to her house when I was having a particularly difficult week with my anxiety. When Keira went away for Thanksgiving we feared she wouldnt be around for when I went into labor. She worked very hard to find someone to stand in her place just in case which we appreciated. She did not stop until we found someone we were both comfortable with. We are both grateful I did not go into labor while she was away because was amazing during my labor. She kept up with my needs and my husbands needs. She was not pushy at all and listened to me and my husband. I am 100% sure my labor would not have gone as smoothly as it did had we not had Keira in the room. She helped with with positioning and helped keep me hydrated. She used essential oils to help keep me calm. There was always a washcloth on my forehead without having to ask. She spoke to me and kept me calm as my anxiety levels were through the roof. She helped take pictures of our momentous occasion without hesitation. After our little miracle was born she stayed and continued to help us with whatever we needed. Keira will forever be a part of our family. We are SO very grateful to have found her.
