Testimonial for Kelly Martin, CPM, LM CD ICEA, CMT, CE Lamaze
We encountered Kelly Martin through a simple google search. We live in Northfield, MN and Kelly's website was very clear and we liked Kelly's introductory video. After she came to our home for the initial interview at the beginning of February 2020, we signed a contract and made a deposit. Then the pandemic started and we didn't meet for a while but Kelly made sure we had all the resources about labor and delivery. She was nice enough to bring us a lot of useful books and videos to watch. We felt informed and prepared. In June Kelly visited us for the second time to talk about our birth plan and pain killing techniques like aromatherapy, massage, peanut balls, rebozo and essentials oils.
When my due date was approaching Kelly was always available. I ended up giving birth a week after the due date (August 2020). By that time, we and Kelly made a clear plan and we knew what to do. We called her when I was in labor and she promptly arrived at our house. She helped me in the shower and insisted on going to the hospital at the right time (being first-time parents we had no idea when the right time was). When we arrived at Northfield Hospital's Birth Center, Kelly helped me with massage, recommending the poses and simply talking and persuading me that everything was going well.
She was amazing with my husband - told him what to do to support me and he felt very confident and comfortable around her.
Our birth experience was wonderful and Kelly Martin played a big part in making it great. We would definitely hire Kelly as our doula again.
Overall, Kelly Martin is a real professional and we are grateful for her help.
