Testimonial for Keelia Alder
Keelia is one of the most supportive people I’ve ever met. The world is lucky that she decided when she was a kid that she wanted to be a birth worker when she grew up. And I feel blessed to have had her as my doula for my very first birth, which I had at home.
There are many things I could share of how specifically Keelia was a great doula, I’ll just share three of my favorites.
1. During my labor, I had my eyes closed for 95% of it and yet I knew I was fully supported, Keelia was right behind me at every moment for every contraction ready to press my hips or my lower back, which alleviated so much of the pain!
2. After the birth I recall seeing Keelia typing into her phone, to which she shared that she was taking notes about the birth. I so appreciated getting to hear her recollection of the birth a couple of weeks later and receiving those notes!
3. Finally, I remember when breast-feeding was feeling so impossibly painful and I texted her, she responded with a long and beautiful paragraph of why I was doing so great and that my baby would appreciate me for all that I was already doing for them.
Basically she’s the best cheerleader you could hire in my opinion, And I’m forever grateful that she was on my birth team and a part of me and my baby’s first few months of life together (and many years to come I hope).
Thank you so much!
