Testimonial for Cathy (Cat) Gomez
The moment I met Cat, I knew she was the person I wanted to have as our doula. Her essence, everything from her words to the way she carries herself, is incredibly grounding. She has a vast wealth of knowledge about pregancy and labor, but also isn't afraid to say when she doesn't know something and takes the time to find an answer.
I didn't know when I got pregnant that there would be a pandemic by the time I was in my second trimester. I always knew I wanted a doula, but with all of the extra stress, having Cat by my side was essential. She went above and beyond to meet over video for meditations and check-ins. It clearly came from the deep care she has for her clients.
During the labor and at the hospital, Cat was able to help me communicate with my husband, mother, and hospital staff so that everyone could have their needs met. She had a huge toolbox of exercises and techniques for us to rotate through based on how I was feeling. Our nurse was so impressed with her, she told us she wished all her interactions with doulas were as respectful and patient focused.
Her generosity is only matched by her thoughtfulness. In our postpartum meeting she gave us gifts that truly reflected our time together and brought both my husband and I to tears. We will always always think of her when we look at our sweet child. We would happily ask her to guide us through a second birth and consider her a very dear person to our family.
