Cathleen came recommended by both word of mouth and a local licensed professional who works with pregnant women in her practice. This was my third pregnancy and we wish we would have sought the services of a doula for our first two births as well. With Cathleen's help not only was our third birth experience the LEAST painful but also the MOST rewarding and enjoyable. I felt more calm, more confident, more reassured that no matter what happened each hour it was going to be within my wishes and/or that I was informed and prepared. Cathleen offers both group classes or private lessons and we opted for her private lessons. I'm an introvert and had two very different previous birth experiences at the Birthing Center and then at MUSC. Neither were ideal and with the relationship my husband and I built with Cathleen through our private lessons we had an exceptional birthing experience at Trident Medical Center. That's right, at Trident! The staff was professional and completely followed my birthing plan while honoring Cathleen's presence and voice in the birthing suite. This service is priceless and we would pay again!
