Testimonial for Keelia Alder
Keelia supported us through the particularly challenging experience of becoming parents during a global pandemic, and we did a combo of virtual and in-person support. We connected with her over shared aspects of our upbringings, and her commitment to birth justice, and felt like she was part of the family from the beginning. Keelia has a warmth and client-centeredness that made us feel truly seen and held during the pregnancy and postpartum chapters. She is well versed in evidence based pregnancy/birthing practices and helped us navigate how we feel about different interventions. She played the invaluable role of chief communicator during our labor, updating our family and friends so we could stay focused on the birth process. She is a baby expert and having her on call for any baby questions was a game changer. People often commented that we seemed too calm and collected to be first time parents of a newborn, and that was mostly due to having Keelia by our side. She is an absolute gem and we are so grateful to have found her.
