We sought out a doula after I began growing frustrated with my Prenatal care. I felt like I wasn’t being listened to & the birth experience I desired was becoming less of a reality. As I did my own research about pregnancy, the maternal death rates amongst black women were alarming and that lead to some anxiety. About halfway through my pregnancy & after a lot of research we decided that hiring a doula & utilizing a midwife would be the best option for us. Working with Keisha was like a breath of fresh air. I felt informed throughout my pregnancy. I truly appreciated all of the educational resources she gave us, and her patience with my many questions. She was SO calm while I was in labor, which was exactly what my husband and I needed. I was able to have the epidural free, vaginal delivery I wanted because of Keisha setting a calming atmosphere, encouraging me to move & reposition, supporting my husband & informing us both about everything going on, & telling me I can do anything (which meant the world to me!). Keisha helped me feel confident & empowered throughout my pregnancy and delivery; she will always be an important part of our birth story. I’d recommend her to everyone
