Testimonial for Kelly Sunshine CD(DONA)
My husband and I wanted a doubla becasue we're busy professionals and didnt have the time for any kind of birthing class. We thought "Well we're gonna do this once, do we need to be experts? Let's have someone there who is an expert to guide us!" Kelly is that but so much more. The best way to describe Kelly is that she is a part of the medical team. She is right in the trenches with them, offering suggestions, stepping in to hand them things, running to grab something, adjusting your pillows. But all the time you are her top priority. Think of her like the Mary Poppins of Birth. You get sick and feel nauseous, she whips out peppermint essential oil on a washcloth and suddenly you are inhaling it and feel better. You are hot and sweating and instantly there is a bucket of ice water and washclothes that are constantly being refreshed on your forehead. When your family is hungry and grabs food and starts to eat in front of you, she kicks them out so you dont kill someone. I swear she anticipated things and worked so well with my midwife that they were my dream team. She truly is there to make it better. I had so many interventions and bumps along the road with a 4 day labor induction. It was the pits! But my actual delivery was lovely. It felt beautiful and not at all clinical even though we were in a hospital. The lights were low and the room was quiet. And she coached me through 45 min of pushing! And to this day I believe had Kelly not been there, I would have had a c-section. Mentally I was giving up. The process was taking too long and wearing me down. She gave my family the push to cheer me on and keep going. She also worked behind the scenes to really push my priorities which I will forever be greatful. I also did the placenta encapsulation and can't reccomend it enough. Im so not crunchy but I feel it really helped my mood and milk production. GO WITH KELLY!
