Testimonial for Kiera Curtis
Kiera was the first doula my husband and I interviewed. This was our first baby, and I wasn't set on any particular birth plan; I just wanted us both to come home safe from the hospital. My plan was to try for a natural birth and see how it went. My husband and I have a tiny tribe, and our intention in hiring Kiera was to give us some of the wisdom we missed from having older women in our families. She was all that and more. My pregnancy was fairly low-key, but when I did have concerns she was right there with positive affirmations and evidence-based information. Our prenatal visit was extremely informative and helped me put my mind at ease about what was to come. During the actual birth, she kept reminding me that I could, in fact, do hard things. She was our ally and advocate when we needed her to be. My birth experience was nothing like I expected it to be, and I had no idea what I was even expecting, but she was a steady and strong presence that helped my husband and I stay grounded. I'm so glad we hired her.
