Testimonial for Katie White
My experience with Katie was wonderful! My husband and I connected with her halfway through my pregnancy. When we first met Katie we felt really comfortable sharing ourselves with her, and about our hopes for our child's birth. We kept in contact over the months and met a few more times closer to my due date. Katie always made herself available to us and would check in to see how we were doing as the pregnancy progressed. Months before the birth even happened, I felt cared for by Katie -- knew that she was thinking of me and hoping I was doing well. Four days before my due date, my husband got a positive COVID-19 test and we decided to have him quarantine away from me. Katie showed a lot of empathy and care for me during those stressful days, and I knew she was pulling for us to be able to come together for our son's birth. Thankfully, my husband was okay, and our baby waited a little while to come! It was a very long and intense labor for me. Through the hours Katie helped make our space warm and comfortable, talked me through the contractions, provided counterpressure and held my hand. She had a lot of good strategies for helping the labor along as well as helping me cope. Her presence was comforting and encouraging to both me and my husband. After many hours we decided to get an epidural, and Katie helped us talk through that decision. When I was ready to push, once again Katie encouraged me all the way through and celebrated with us as our son was born. She even took lots of pictures! A week or two later we met with her again to process the birth, which helped me continue to make meaning from this positive, but incredibly intense, experience. She wrote a beautiful birth story for us too, which I treasure! I can't quite imagine my son's birth happening without Katie. She helped us tremendously and truly contributed to the birth being such a positive story for us. Katie is very gifted at what she does as a doula, and I am thankful for her!
