I started looking into doulas as my partner was not present throughout my pregnancy and knew I would be needing all the support I could get. I was looking for someone who was not only experienced, but who felt like a dear friend and family. After interviewing countless doulas for months, I was finally introduced to Kim via a doula service. She was the PERFECT fit. From our very first conversation, she felt like a long-time friend. She was knowledgable and supportive, but also kind and caring about my situation. She touched based often, and we scheduled our first sessions via zoom, as I was going to go into labor during the pandemic. She was sweet, kind, and funny... she asked me very great questions and helped me build my birth plan to bring with me to the hospital. She explained many things to me, and was mindful of when I wanted to know very in-depth details, or a bit more high-level. When I went into labor she was not in the city due to the pandemic, but recommended me to another doula who could assist me during birth. This was heartbreaking, as I loved Kim and really wanted her to be ther with me, but her suggestion was great and everything went well. She kept on checking in with me during the entire time, and also post-partum. My baby is not 8 months old and we still stay in touch. She's a part of the family to us.
