Testimonial for Kiera Curtis
Hiring Kiera to be my doula was the best thing I ever did to experience the unmedicated birth that I wanted to have. With my first birth, I ended up having an epidural and this time, i was determined to prepare ahead of time to try and avoid pain medications. Kiera met with my husband and I for a pre-birth meeting that lasted about 4 hours and we went over everything from my previous birth experience to my current birth plan to different positions for optimal fetal positioning. I really appreciated how thorough Kiera was and how non-judgmental and gentle she was. Being a mother of two also gives Kiera a deep understanding of pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. During my birth, Kiera massaged my lower back and this was one of the main things that enabled me to get through the tougher contractions. She stayed with me for the whole birth and advocated to the doctors and nurses about my birth plan desires. About 3 weeks after my son was born, Kiera came to my house for a postpartum visit to follow up and see how I was doing, how breastfeeding was going and process the whole experience with me. My husband and I will be forever grateful to Kiera for all she did for us throughout my pregnancy, birth and postpartum period. I’m certain my experience would not have been as positive as it was without her expertise, guidance and support.
