Testimonial for Katie White
Katie is the kind of doula every woman deserves. From our first FaceTime call, I knew that she was someone I wanted on my birth team. The way she listened to me and truly heard my needs and wishes gave me strength and confidence to prepare and plan for my the kind of birth I wanted. She always made sure I knew I was in charge of my experience and provided so much emotional support as well as high quality and research based advice. During the three weeks leading up to my daughter's birth, Katie was on call for each night of prodromal labor and offered me immediate feedback and strategies to help with my discomfort and to start labor naturally. When my provider began to push for a formal induction, Katie stood by me and encouraged me to wait and try all other options to start labor spontaneously. Her voice and evidence based practices gave me strength to advocate for myself and eventually helped spur on spontaneous labor that led to my daughter's arrival. During labor and delivery, Katie helped create a calm and supportive environment for me and my husband. She used her voice to support my wishes up until the last moment before my c section. Katie worked to seamlessly with the nurses and doctors at the hospital to ensure that I was safe and that my baby was born healthy and for that I am so grateful. Despite some complications with my delivery, I believe having Katie as my doula played a huge role in healing past birth trauma and turning a new leaf of confidence and self advocacy in my life. Katie is a true gem and someone I will always consider a trustworthy friend and support. She even went the extra mile to type a letter to our daughter telling each beautiful detail of her birth that she hand delivered to us at our postpartum appointment. If you are in the process of searching for a doula to be part of your birth team, look no further.
