I really wanted to hire a doula, not only to help me through the birthing process, but also to help my husband help me because I would be in no state to know what to ask. Kathleen came highly recommended from multiple moms at work who had her as their doula. With such resounding recommendations, my husband and I enlisted Kathleen and worked with her through pre-birth meetings, coaching about how to handle OBGYN appointments, and positioning techniques. My labor was almost 24 hours and through it all Kathleen was in touch initially via text and then in person as the contractions got closer. Having Kathleen present through the contractions, eventual epidural, and the final push to birth our son gave me a lot of peace of mind as I knew she was there to provide her expertise and support for my husband and I. She also followed up with us after the birth to check on me for post partum depression as well as my son's latch to make sure he was having no trouble eating. I intend to continue the chain of recommending Kathleen to all of my friends. I can imagine that my delivery would have been a completely different and stressful experience without her there.
