Before getting pregnant I always envisioned having a supportive doula with me during labor and delivery. Once COVID-19 hit, those plans took a back seat, and I planned to go without the support. During my third trimester I began rethinking my birth plan and felt a pull to find a doula to support me. I reached out to a few doulas before finding Cat, and I am SO glad they didn't end up working out. I immediately felt connected to Cat by reading her website. She mentioned her energy work and moving across the country during pregnancy. During my 28th week of pregnancy I relocated from the east coast to california, and Cat was beyond supportive. She dropped by supplies and was such a caring presence during the transition. She also guided me in selecting the birthing center, and was so supportive and nonjudgmental throughout the process.
I don't think I would have survived labor without Cat. She came to my house and helped me through very intense contractions before we transferred to the birthing center. Her presence put us at ease, and we will always be so grateful for her! She also took the most beautiful photos during the birth. Cat is truly a rare gem, and I cannot recommend her doula services enough. Our family will always have a special bond with her.
