Testimonial for Kerri Evers
Kerri was recommended to me by my midwives group and I’m so glad we decided to work with her. She was incredibly supportive in the lead up to delivery and when labor finally started, I was so relieved to see her waiting for us at the hospital that I cried. My labor and delivery was kind of dramatic with lots of unexpected surprises. Kerri was so calm and loving and her obvious experience and expertise made my husband and me feel like we could handle anything. I didn’t understand the work of a doula until I was in the middle of it. It’s intense, long and 100% hands on and Kerri never even broke a sweat or seemed the least bit tired (and she must have been!). She felt like a member of the family to me, like having a mom or a sister to go through the process with. But she also knew when to give us space. She knows all the nurses and they clearly love her too. Her existing relationships with hospital staff was a major asset. Kerri thought of everything, little things I would need on hand that I never could have anticipated, like Listerine (who knew Listerine would be so wonderful to have?), hair ties, keeping track of my personal stuff like my clothes, purse and shoes (if it were up to me and my husband, I would have never seen these things again we were so distracted), a handheld fan, a foot massage... I could go on and never cover how much Kerri helped me face the challenges of childbirth, a process that I had never endured before and was pretty nervous about. She’s funny, intuitive, caring and patient. She felt like an instant friend and we love her!
