Testimonial for Katie Richardson, CD(DONA)
I decided I wanted a doula after reading several books on unmedicated childbirth. When thinking about what I wanted in a doula I knew I’d want someone that I could talk to like they were a lifelong friend. That is exactly the experience I had with Katie. She reminded me of my two closest friends combined into one person. I also knew she’d get along great with my partner, which was very important to me because they made up my birth team and having a good synergy between them was crucial.
Katie met with us twice before my delivery first to discuss what we’d like to happen at birth and answer questions we had about what to expect. The second time was to go over labor and birth positions. She was also very responsive to any questions I had leading up to my delivery.
I ended up having to be induced and she was there throughout the whole delivery, working in tandem with my partner. My partner said without her he wasn’t sure he’d be able to help me through the labor without her help. After our baby was delivered she took candid photos of us meeting our baby for the first time which are priceless and photos I’ll cherish forever.
I can’t recommend Katie enough as a doula. If I were to have another child I would definitely use her again.
