My wife and I welcomed our baby boy into the world in November of 2020. If you to rewind 6 months prior to the birth and have asked me what a a doula was or did - I would have stared at you with a blank face. I have since become a complete advocate for using a Doula and huge fan of Kathleen Wilson. As a career I am in the business world - and my best analogy is that hiring Kathleen is equivalent to hiring the top consultant - but in this case - a "birth consultant" that with her experience and connections will insure you and your wife have the birth that you want to have. Prior to birth - we met multiple times, developing a birth plan, doing both ad hoc and scheduled training which really helped my wife and I become prepared and educated on all things pregnancy and birth related. She was also a wealth of knowledge and urecommmendations for different things. Example: my wife wanted a specific type of chiropractic care - Kathleen's recommendation was spot on.
When it came time for the actual birth - I could not have asked for a better person to help support my wife and myself. We were already well educated on all of the medical processes which made decision making more about what we wanted to do versus having to learn on the spot and make a decision. The care and compassion that Kathleen showed my wife during birth was beyond expectations. Truly was a member of our birth team / family. In fact - she was at the hospital for over 24 hours with us!
To sum it all up - I highly recommend Kathleen for Doula services. She had the experience, care, and compassion that really did contribute to a successful birth for my wife.
