Testimonial for Kiera Curtis
Kiera was an irreplaceable part of my birth team even though my labor progressed so quickly I didn't call her in time for the birth! From the very first meeting with her where I was interviewing her to see if we were a good match, her gentle nature coupled with her no nonsense attitude spoke to me. She proved to be great resource for information about everything involved in this process. From recommending a wonderful tea shop that put together it's own pregnancy blends according to trimester to help picking a pediatrician, Kiera always had what I needed when I asked. She provides important information on making labor progress smoothly on down to help making choices on how you want your birth to unfold. She was the most perfect doula this single mom could have asked for. Because everything moved so fast (the midwives barely made it) Kiera ended up providing more postpartum serrvices for me than labor coaching for the birth itself. She quietly took charge of getting me fed and hydrated and comfy. My little guy was a champion nurser from the very beginning but Kiera' s tips and tricks helped us continue our strong breastfeeding relationship. She even straightened up and swept! Truly an adaptable gal whom I couldn't have done without. One of the several services she offers is photography. She captured the feel of my first hour postpartum so well! The casual laughing atmosphere of the midwives and my daughter assisting with placenta delivery and cord cutting can be felt in her pictures, I am so grateful. She also captured some beautiful shots of my 1 month old son with my mom and I that I treasure. I tell everyone about my experience with Kiera because she literally proved to be what I needed when I needed it. She's so much more than just a labor coach and I thank my lucky stars I was fortunate enough to have had her on my team!
