Testimonial for Kiera Curtis
Kierra has given my partner and I the best birth experience. She provided us with a ton of resources to help us prepare for birth and the 4th trimester (books, cds, videos, handouts, etc.). We are a small family and didn’t have many people to turn to in terms of knowledge so having Kiera in our corner to answer all of our questions helped put our minds at ease. She helped us create our birth plan- I always felt in control of making our own decisions and never felt like I would be judged based on the decisions my partner and I made. She gave exercises on how we could help our baby for optimal birth positioning before and during labor. My labor started in the morning and once my contractions started getting more intense in the afternoon we called Kiera and she immediately was able to come to our home (I wanted to labor at home as long as possible before going to the hospital). When she got to our home her presence was completely calming- she was able to move me in different positions to ease the intensity, empowered me with words of affirmation and was even there for my partner so he could be there for me. Kiera was only at my home for a short while before it was time for me to go to the hospital. Unfortunately due to the covid 19 pandemic she was unable to come to the hospital with us but she did ride with us there to help me labor in the car. After arriving at the hospital we delivered a healthy boy vaginally and unmedicated in just 2 hours! I truly think hiring Kiera as our doula gave me the tools, preparation and peace of mind to have such a quick labor for my first child. She has also been a huge support to our family postpartum and has been there to answer all of my newborn/breastfeeding questions. I am looking forward to our 2 week postpartum visit! There is no doubt I will want Kiera to be our doula for any future babies to come.
