Kaela's help and reassurance was invaluable during my second pregnancy and her guidance during labor, delivery and postpardum has changed everything for the better.
My first experience giving birth was very painful and traumatic for me, leading to Postpardum PTSD. So this time, I sought the help of a doula. I felt much less anxiety leading up to labor since I knew we could count on Kaela to be there for us. We felt so blessed to find her and she gave us resources and also taught us about different options.
Kaela is so knowledgeable but also so supportive of whatever decisions you make. I chose to give birth in a hospital, but did a lot of laboring at home before with Kaela's assistance. She had taught my husband and I some counter-pressure and positioning techniques that relieved some pain during labor. She influenced us to be able to rest even as I labored through the night. At the hospital, her support was still so vital to us (even after I got an epidural) as she advocated for me and supported me in advocating for myself.
Her compassion right after delivery and in the weeks that followed meant that I did not feel alone and I had a trusted source to go to with my questions. I so very highly recommend Kaela as a doula.
