Testimonial for Katerina Prudnik

Katerina played a key role in my experience of giving birth to my baby girl. Looking back at it, I was blessed to have her by my (and my hasband's) side. Let me start from the beginning. It was the middle of the night when I texted Katerina that I thought my labour had started and that I had hard time coping with sensations. She offered to come over right away. I'm sure she knew it was just a tip of the birthing iceberg at that point and that there was no rush, but she still arrived to help.

The moment Katerina walked in, I felt somehow  relieved, it was a complete game changer.. it's like I could feel this enormous support of nature and women channelling through Katerina. When she arrived I clearly thought "I got this". Having someone who knows what they're doing is amazing, especially for the first time parents, but having Katerina there was so much more than that. Her presence helped me stay tuned in with my feelings, it gave me strengths. She was always calm and she had her ways to calm me down and make my experience smoother. She had many tricks up her sleeve to help me... and my husband! (he'd be lost without her during my labor!). Katerina went above and beyond to make sure I was well and taken care of.  Even after 3 days of nonstop nurturing, she couldn't just leave to rest when I finally was in maternity unit and in hands of hospital staff.  I am forever grateful for that!

For the most part, I don't even remember what we talked about but I clearly remember how she made me feel. Because of her I felt empowered, because of her I felt that I could do it. I could go on and on explaining why it was invaluable to have Katerina with us. My experience wouldn't be the same without her. I was lucky to have Katerina by my side during this magical time as giving birth to my baby.
