Working with Cat through my pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum was absolutely such a gift and privalge for me and my family. While my husband had initially been somewhat hesitant about the idea of hiring a doula, he now says that he can’t imagine our experience without her, and we are so thankful we had her as part of our team. Prior to birth day, Cat she was such a great support answering all of our many questions and providing the best evidence based information so that we could always make an informed decision. She never pushed her own views or agendas, which we really appreciated! As this was our first pregnancy, we felt so clueless and nervous about many things, and Cat was so wonderful, kind, and understanding. I had a lot of anxiety as my pregnancy progressed, and Cat was always a calm and reliable presence. She supported me in discovering and practicing maechanisms to help manage my worries.She really puts so much time and energy into to learning and developing her knowledge, it is so clear that it is such a passion for her, and you also feel that passion and comittment during every interaction with her. When the big day finally came, there are no words to fully describe how wonderful it was to have Cat by our side! She was an amazing support, not only for me, but for my husband as well. She was such a constant calming and peaceful presence, while also being so skilled at gently, but steadfastly, helping me to focus and endure through those really tough moments. Following labor and delivery, Cat continued to be an unwavering support as I juggled the joys and many challenges of being a new mom. She checked in with me often and always made herself avaialable to speak over the phone. We highly recommend Cat to any family considering having a birthing doula! Her knowledge, experience, and generosity of spirit is absolutely priceless!!
