Testimonial for Katie Pumphrey
We hired Katie as our postpartum doula and it was one of the best decisions we made! As first time parents with no family in the area - and then covid - the hands on support Katie was able to provide was fantastic. I prepared so much for preganancy and birth and really didn't think to plan for what to do when we brought our baby home... oops! Having a supportive resource really filled the void I felt giving birth in the hospital with a lack of resources due to covid - no Lactation support, etc. She helped us swaddle better and (finally!) get her on sleep schedule and even sat with me to help cut her fingernails for the first time... I was so scared I would accidentally cut her. Her help really empowered me to feel confident taking care of my daughter. And not only that, she let me take guilt-free breaks from the baby. I was able to have some time to myself to get some things done, nap, shower, take walks. It was glorious! And every visit she would blow us away with how much she could get done in 4 hours. She also helped us with meal planning and it really added something to our days even when Katie wasn't here. I looked forward to every visit and really miss her visits.
