Testimonial for Katy Gladwin, NBC-WHC
I was on the fence about hiring a doula with my pregnancy. After meeting with Katy I knew that not only did I want a doula for my hospital birth but I wanted it to be Katy. She was a great match for me because she combined evidence based practices and traditional medicine with more holistic and alternative approaches. I was not sure what type of birth I wanted (unmedicated? Epidural asap?) and it was evident throughout our meetings that her goal was to help me achieve the type of birth that would be healthy for me, physically and mentally, regardless of the interventions that might involve. My primary concern with labor and delivery was my own anxiety and fear about the process, and having that fear make the process more challenging physically. Katie was phenomenal in listening to my concerns, providing me with information, coaching my husband, and emphasizing her availability by text 24/7. She was a calming presence during labor and was invaluable to me in post-partum in managing fears, family, and medical issues that cropped up with my baby. Her care for her clients also does not have an expiration date! It is comforting for me to know that I can text her now (16 months post-partum) with a short question or for a referral and she always responds.
