Testimonial for Kaely Harrod
Kaely was a phenomenally supportive, helpful, and informative doula, and I would hire her 1000x over again. Her support navigating a labor and delivery with many twists and turns was absolutely priceless, as was her help postpartum to process that challenging journey.
We first met Kaely as the instructor of our childbirth education class, where we witnessed her immense knowledge and down-to-earth demeanor. During the course and after we hired her, she provided evidence-based information and resources to empower us to make the best decisions for our circumstances. Kaely is easy to talk to. She answered all our big and small questions and supported our family’s goals without judgment. In the final weeks of pregnancy, she checked in on us regularly and made our family feel deeply cared for even though we had only just met. Kaely’s clients are much more than just numbers to her.
During labor, Kaely did not hesitate to roll up her sleeves and dive in to support me physically and mentally in too many ways to name. Kaely was extremely attentive, often anticipating whatever I needed before I could even ask, whether comfort techniques during contractions or a drink and a hair tie. We also greatly appreciated Kaely’s instruction and support to my spouse to help him help me, and to check in on his needs. She worked seamlessly with the medical team, enabling her to anticipate how she could support me through new developments. She stayed to coach me through our first breastfeeding effort and was just a text away to help with breastfeeding challenges in the early weeks postpartum. Another invaluable service Kaely provided for my mental health was an after-action conversation to help us process and start to come to terms with a very tumultuous labor and delivery that proceeded very differently than what we had hoped.
All that to say, hire Kaely. You will not regret it!
