Keisha is the calm before, during, and after the storm.
My husband and I met with Keisha early in pregnancy and she helped us find care providers that fit with the birth experience I had envisioned. I wasn't particularly comfortable with my OB and was hoping to switch to a midwife. As we all know, life doesn't go as planned! I had to remain with my OB due to cholestasis; the diagnosis and sudden change of plan were a lot to handle, but Keisha put my mind at ease. I was so thankful to have her to listening ear and caring heart in the most vulnerable parts of pregnancy. Keisha helped me write out questions to ask for my weekly visits and ultrasounds; these questions led to conversations with my providers that ultimately made me really enjoy being cared for by that team! I've always been one to accept the medical professional's opinion, and Keisha helped give me the confidence to simply ask "why" so I could understand their plan for my (and baby's) care. At my last visit, I told my OB and NP I felt really good about being induced and that my doula (and MyBirth) had really prepared me. Their response: That's amazing - when we're all able to work together, that's how we save womens' and babies' lives.
We took a birth course through MyBirth at Keisha's suggestion and it was INCREDIBLE. It was so in-depth and we felt incredibly prepared and informed going into the hospital. For delivery, Keisha was in constant contact with my husband, helped me labor unmedicated to 9cm, and counted me through pushing. I have such a positive association when I think back to giving birth, and so much of that is attributed to Keisha!!
Our son ended up in NICU for five days which was incredibly hard, but Keisha shared resources with us to help get us through! We are so incredibly thankful for everything Keisha did for us and I cannot recommend her enough! She will make you feel heard and empowered!
