Testimonial for Katharine Deeb

Katharine is an AMAZING doula! I feel so lucky to have been supported by her throughout my pregnancy and birth. When I was pregnant, she was so accessible, nurturing and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions, put me at ease, and really made me feel empowered with my birthing decisions rather than overwhelmed.  When I learned I had gestational diabetes, she helped me not to worry and to navigate my care choices. She also helped me choose where to deliver (bc I was on the fence). She wasn’t judgmental of any decisions at all...just a guide to help me make the best decision for me.

During the pregnancy and delivery, I also really appreciated her rapport with my husband. She understood his humor and at times intense nature. She also thought of him even after the baby was born by getting him food and Advil. She was a support for him too!  Anytime I was concerned about anything, his first reponse was “text Katharine!”

I had a fast, intense all-natural labor. Katharine was a wise, calm force in the middle of a storm! She took charge without ever being pushy or “getting in the way”. My baby boy was born only an hour and a half after I got to the hospital, and she made it in time (amazingly!). She fed me coconut water in between contractions, told me what an incredible job I was doing, gave great massages, and took over with the hip squeeze when my husband got tired. She continued to put me at ease even after my babe was born. My boy was born with an extra thumb, which was a bit of a shock. But I’ll never forget how Katharine looked me directly in the eyes—sensing how thrown off I was by it—and told me, “It’s really not a big deal at all. It’s super common”. And guess what? It IS really common and now I even think it’s cute. He will get it removed when he’s 2, but I’m so glad I didn’t worry about it anymore at the hospital. Three thumbs up!
