My successful, unmedicated VBAC couldn't have happened without Cathleen and her doula partner, Zelle. I lucked out and was able to work with Cathleen and Zelle just a few weeks before I was due (I moved to the area at 35 weeks). The support Cathleen and Zelle provided while I was in labor was awesome -- from creating a calming environment in the labor and delivery room, using massage, counter-pressure and other techniques to ease labor pains. During the most intense moments, as I was birthing my son, they were instrumental in reassuring me and cheering me on. Cathleen has a wealth of knowledge. She has a great way of making helpful suggestions, with her client's wants and expectations at the forefront. The sacred bellybinding ceremony that Cathleen offers for postpartum is also a nice way to honor your pregnancy.
