Testimonial for Kiera Curtis
Kiera was an incredible and integral part of our positive birth experience. My husband and I are first time parents, and knew we wanted to work with a doula to support with the birth of our baby. We are new to the area, and after researching and speaking to doulas in Hampton Roads, we connected with Kiera and immediately knew it was a fit for our family.
Throughout the pregnancy journey, Kiera checked on us and provided so many helpful resources. At the 36 week mark, she spent four hours with us preparing for the birth. This time was so important and made us feel empowered and prepared to bring our little boy into the world. At the 37 week mark, I began experiencing pre labor and Kiera was always available to answer my questions and provide recommendations to make me feel more comfortable. On the day that true labor started, Kiera was a constant source of peace and calm. We spoke throughout the day during the early labor, and when things picked up, we asked Kiera to meet us at the hospital. When she arrived, she was again such a source of peace and calm. I had a natural birth and while I prepared as best as I could, the labor was intense and Kiera was by my side to encourage me and do everything she could to support my husband and I. I will never forget Kiera holding my hand through the intense contractions and telling me I could do it. Once the pushing phase ensued, Kiera coached my husband and did so many things in the background to make me comfortable.
The birth of our son was so beautiful and I am so thankful for all of the support Kiera provided throughout the pregnancy and birth. I truly feel like we were meant to meet Kiera - she is incredible and was such an important part of our experience.
