Testimonial for Kelly Sunshine CD(DONA)
Where do I begin? I have birthed two beautiful children. Both with amazingly different birth stories. My first born was induced at 41 weeks and resulted in an emergency Cesarean. My second was a successful VBAC – and Kelly played a crucial role in my incredible birth story. Kelly was recommended to me by several women (a fellow doula, a chiropractor and a Midwife). The moment I met her I knew she was everything I was looking for in a Doula; she has great energy and I instantly trusted her with all my being. Kelly is kind, supportive, responsive, understanding and determined. I had initially told Kelly I wanted a medicated VBAC, after all, a vaginal delivery was the single most important thing to me and it did not matter how I got there, and she was on board. Kelly’s childbirth class was outstanding and gave me and my husband the knowledge we needed to prepare ourselves for what was to come.
On the day of delivery, Kelly came through for me, more than she will ever know. First contraction happened at midnight. Within four hours of my very first contraction, I was 8cm and 0/+1, already checked into the hospital. She arrived immediately and helped coach me through the toughest part. The moment I heard her voice, along with my husband’s support, I knew we would push through. Every moment I felt I couldn’t go any longer – she reminded me that I could. VBAC was a success and due to circumstances, I delivered un-medicated. It was an outstanding experience. I felt empowered and proud. My husband and I thank Kelly for it. I delivered less than an hour after being admitted to the hospital. Incredible!
Kelly is great at what she does. Also, the investment in the placenta encapsulation and birth bundle (a box with awesome items to help finish pregnancy and prepare for postpartum) are worth it! If you are looking for a Doula who can and will emotionally, physically and mentally connect with you and coach you, Kelly is the one!
