Testimonial for Katie Richardson, CD(DONA)
Katie was a wonderful doula! My husband and I met with several potential doulas for our first birth - when we met with Katie, we knew she would be a great fit for us. She's confident but laid-back, passionate but open-minded, knowledgable but not pushy. I loved hearing her birth stories and the reasons why she became a doula.
Katie met with us a couple of times before the birth and helped us feel more confident and even more excited about the childbirth. She helped us think about different potential situations and how we'd like to handle them. She got to know us and developed communication with both my husband and me, and made it clear that she was there to work with both of us during this process.
During the birth Katie was soooooo helpful. I wanted to have the baby at a birthing center, but, due to an extended labor, was transfered to a hospital. Katie was available to us every step of the way from early morning phone calls when my water broke to driving with us during the transfer through the hospital delivery and checking in with us a couple of days later. She was there when we needed her and stepped back when we didn't. It was exactly what I wanted from a doula.
You can tell she loves what she does and that she really wants to know you and help you have the birth experience you want to have.
