Testimonial for Katie McCarthy CD(DONA)
Katie was such an asset to my birth experience in a multitude of ways! I contacted Katie toward the tail end of my pregnancy, but in those several weeks leading up to our daughter's birth, both my husband and I gained so much from working with her. Katie provided a wealth of information, reassurance, and knowledge before, during, and after our daughter's birth, and served as an excellent source of wisdom and guidance throughout the journey. Although my birth did not pan out as anticipated (by no fault of anyone but mother nature), Katie helped me find peace and empowerment in the experience. Furthermore, Katie encouraged me to advocate for myself and my birth - and warmly supported every decision and hope along the way. Katie went above and beyond anticipated duties, even staying by my side during my emergency c-section (and happily documenting our first moments meeting our daughter!). During our postpartum visit, our conversation with Katie helped to provide much needed closure as well as a strengthened sense of ownership over the birth experience (and some more very special documentation/home photography with our little girl!). Katie is both personable and professional, well-informed, engaged, and truly demonstrative of someone who loves what they do and cares about those they serve. We highly recommend working with her! Thank you, Katie, from all three of us!
