Testimonial for Kerry Burke
When I found out I was pregnant a year ago (January 2020) I was so excited. And so ready for baby number 2. With my first baby I had the help of a doula where I lived. So I knew I needed a doula for this journey. I figured I would take my time and get around to finding someone closer to my due date. Well March 2020 rolled around and like everyone my world became very different and very scary. Pregnant during a pandemic was not my plan. I knew I needed help immediately. I started to look for a doula.
Why a doula? Aren’t they just coaches?
No.
They are pregnancy and birth therapists.
They will follow you on your birth journey and be there every step of the way.
And this is who Kerry was.
When we first started talking I might’ve broken down because the idea of carrying a baby during this awful time was not something I thought I could handle. I was so terrified. But Kerry was right there with me. She calmed my nerves. Responded to every freak out, every random email, every middle of the night question. She helped me with physical pains over the phone or through virtual meet ups. She talked with my husband about ways he could help me through my pregnancy.
We talked birth plans. She knew all of the help I would need. Pain relief, calming techniques, questions for doctors and nurses.
When delivery time came I ended up going with a c-section for personal reasons. But Kerry was there for me. Giving me all of the calm help I needed. Being the level head in the room for me and my husband. And the 3 of us welcomed our wonderful baby boy in September.
Kerry was there for me at one of, if not the, most intense and emotional moments of my entire life. And I couldn’t have done it without her.
If you are pregnant you need a doula, and you need that doula to be Kerry.
