Testimonial for In Harmony Birth: Keli Fortman, HCHI, HCHD, DONA
I first met Keli when she came to our home to assist my husband and I with a Hypnobabies Birth Rehearsal. After spending a few hours with her, my husband and I knew we wanted her with us in the delivery room! We were so fortunate that she accepted and was willing to be our doula. Keli is one of the warmest, most encouraging and positive people I’ve ever met. Just being around her makes you feel at ease and I credit her with helping me maintain that positivity through my birthing time. She was always checking in with me and sending me encouraging messages – letting me know that “I got this.”
When I found out that my birthing time would have to begin by induction, I was terrified to think that my birthing plans were out the window. I am eternally grateful to Keli because she reminded me that nothing had changed and that many beautiful births had begun by induction. She was with me every step of the way, explaining what to expect, what audio tracks might be best for me…I truly feel she helped me achieve my dreams of having a natural, unmedicated birth! My husband even had to call Keli in the middle of the night to tell her that I was 5cm dilated– she didn’t hesitate and got right up and out the door so she could be there with us. Just knowing that she was with us provided us both with such a calm. We are forever grateful to her!
My husband and I were so honored that Keli was there to share in the first moments with our baby. She will always be a part of our family!
