Testimonial for In Harmony Birth: Keli Fortman, HCHI, HCHD, DONA
I had the privilege of having Keli support me as my doula during the birth of my first child. She was unbelievably helpful in preparing my husband and I for this experience with her vast knowledge and unparalleled experience. I felt so comfortable knowing that Keli had supported nearly every type of birthing scenario and could help me remain calm and focused no matter what turn my birthing took. With her guidance and peaceful presence, I was blessed to have and empowering, and beautiful, unmedicated birth. I truly don't think that I could have done it without her. She encouraged me during intense parts of labor letting me know that my body was doing exactly what it was supposed to and kept my husband abreast of everything that was happening, encouraging him on how he could best meet my needs. I really appreciate how she helped me to adovcate for myself to labor in the most comfortable position for me.
One anecdote from my birthing day that I will always remember is moments before I breathed my son into this world, Keli noticed an affirmation card I had created for myself for encouragment. It read "I am a bad*ss and I f**ing got this!!" She looked me in the eyes, smiled, and pointed to this card. We both starting laughing! Shortly after, my son was here, and I felt like a warrior!
To this day, Keli continues to check in on me and my little family, which speaks to the type of loving care that Keli has for each of her clients. I am eternally grateful to have had her by my side at one of the most important times of my life.
