Testimonial for Kelly Kathrens CD., ILFS
Wonderful experience with Kelly as both my labor and postpartum doula!
She provided great support during my birth in October 2020 by helping to make sure my wishes were being heard and respected. My birth did not go the way I planned, but Kelly was excellent at helping me make decisions and process changes as they came. She advocated for me every step of the way and always double checked with me that I was comfortable with how things were going. She also helped me physically, mainly by offering counter-pressure and massage to get me through contractions.
Once my partner and I were home with our newborn, Kelly was extremely supportive and made the transition into motherhood much less scary! She provided light house keeping, meal prep, and held the baby while I napped or showered. The best part of her postpartum doula services is her overnight support! For the first few weeks, my baby would NOT sleep anywhere other than someone’s arms, and that led to many sleepless nights. Kelly stayed and held him all night, only waking me when it was time for him to eat. I don’t know how I would’ve gotten through the first month without her. I cannot recommends her services highly enough, and will be requesting her again when I’m ready to have another baby!
