Testimonial for Katharine Deeb
While our birth experience with Katharing was unique- due to pandemic regulations she was not allowed to come with us to the hospital- her presence and involvement in our pregnancy and birth was invaluable.
Katharine has a calm presence, her knowledge and experience is palpable and was incredibly reassuring as we were preparing for our birth in extenuating and stressful circumstances. While Katharine was not at the birth in person, she was able to check in virtually- providing my partner with helpful and clear direction so he could act as a"doula extension"
Additionally- it's important to note that Katharine made a point to set up safe in person visits prior and following the birth of our son. Prior she taught my husband some techniques to help with my labor and postpartum to check in and hear about our birth. We also developed a birth plan together- revising multiple times with input and discussion. As well, she is always available as a calm and comforting touchstone via text/phone at any time. While my labor was too fast for us to have her come to our home to labor with me, this is something we were planning to do!
Katharine gave us the tools to do our best to construct a positive birth experience, while also preparing us to feel confident that we could manage and adapt if things did NOT go to plan as they often do not during delivery.
We so valued working with Katharine and would recommend her as a Doula to anyone searching. While we wish she could have attended our birth in person, we appreciate everything she did in a stressful and unusual time.
