Testimonial for Kim Holden, CLC
Working with Kim was an amazing experience and provided an incredible benefit to the birth of our daughter. Kim's knowledge and calming, centered energy helped guide us to the birth experience we were hoping to have. We delivered in an academic hospital, yet wanted to do a natural delivery and avoid medical interventions as much as possible. We relied heavily on Kim to help us understand the stages of labor, and to work with the hospital staff to let the labor progress naturally.
Kim's guidance extended beyond just giving us information and keeping us calm and comfortable, as she was incredibly engaged physically during labor. She and Noah worked tirelessly for the better part of a day to help me find positions that made the intensity of the contractions bearable and advanced the baby through the stages of labor, all the while adding massage and applying pressure to make me more comfortable. Kim really understood the balance of energy and effectiveness of touch, and we do not know how we would have made it through labor without her calm presence and endurance.
Above all, it was so obvious to us from the first time we met Kim that she is genuine, caring, and loving, and that proved more than true during our birth experience. She became an incredible member of our family - if only for a brief period - and we will always have so much gratitude for the time we spent with her. Kim is amazing!
