Testimonial for Katie Richardson, CD(DONA)
**Responding to the previous testimonial**
Hey Amber,
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to give your honest feedback. I am so very sorry that you didn’t feel fully supported! I’m sorry you’ve been carrying that for the last 16 months since the birth of your baby! I really wish we could have talked about this sooner! I have such a different memory of your birth! It seems like we had a miscommunication along the way.
When I asked if you wanted me to meet you at the hospital or wait until you got checked in, you told me to wait and not come yet. Knowing that you would need me soon, I was trying to get a little bit of sleep while I waited for you to let me know you were ready for me to come. When your husband text me at 3:30am to let me know you’d been checked and were getting a room, I didn’t hear the notification from my phone. I knew it was possible not to hear a notification when sleeping, that’s why I had specifically asked that you call me if I didn’t respond to your text in the night.
I didn’t hear from you guys again for three more hours. Thankfully, when your husband did text again, I heard the notification and I left immediately. Did you think that I had gotten the first message, that I was on my way, and then it took hours for me to arrive? What an awful feeling that must have been! Again, I am so very sorry that it appeared as though I just didn’t show up for you when you needed me. My entire reason for being a Doula is so that moms don’t have to feel alone or unsupported. I didn’t mean for you to ever feel like that and I’m truly sorry that you did.
