Testimonial for Kiera Curtis
My husband and I moved to Norfolk from Richmond 36 weeks into my pregnancy! We had always entertained the idea of hiring a doula, but after meeting with our new midwives at our new hospital, it became even more clear to us that we needed someone on our team that made us feel safe and calm. Kiera was just that. We hired her at 37 weeks and I ended up going into labor a week later! We didn't really get the chance to have our prenatal meetings with her but she was such a great support via phone and text when I had questions about my prelabor symptoms and working through contractions and exercises.
During our labor, she kept us calm and focussed and helped progress my labor by suggesting new positions. She kept both my husband and I comforatble, hydrated and nourished throughout my labor. She even snagged a few photos during our labor and during our first moments as a new family that we will cherish forever. Since we didn't have the opportunity to have our prenatal meetings, Kiera offered wonderful post partum support in person, over the phone and via text. We also had her encapsulate my placenta and those pills saved me from post partum anxiety.
We are so happy that we hired Kiera to be a part of our team. We would have been lost without her.
