Testimonial for Cathy (Cat) Gomez
Cathy was born to be a doula. She brings years of experience as an RN and a yoga teacher, and she is deeply passionate about her work. Her skill-set and services are unmatched — Cathy is a treasure.
After a long and challenging labor with my first child, I knew I needed more support with my second. I've known Cathy for many years — we met through yoga teacher training, and she later educated me about breastfeeding, mentoring me as I nursed my daughter. Since then, our friendship has grown and I was blessed to have her by my side.
One of Cathy’s most unique qualities is the way she listens. During our prenatal sessions, she listened so intently to our needs, wants, fears and hopes. I felt safe and understood throughout the entire experience.
Cathy checked in regularly to offer support and motivation. She would often send meaningful quotes and articles, and was always available to talk if I felt discouraged or worried.
Our son arrived a few days late and the labor escalated quickly. As soon as I saw Cathy's calm, confident face, I knew everything would be ok, and I knew I had the strength to do this. She made eye contact while guiding my breath, and her voice kept me grounded in the present moment. When I decided to get an epidural, she gently stroked my arms and legs while holding a safe space for me to move through each contraction.
Luca was born into the most tranquil environment. It was a beautiful birth and I'm so grateful.
Cathy continued to support me in the weeks after I gave birth. I experienced some breastfeeding challenges and she went above and beyond to get me through some of the early struggles.
Cathy is an outstanding doula and she cares deeply about each of her clients. When you hire Cathy as your doula, know you are also gaining a very special friend.
