Testimonial for Kristen Mollan
It is difficult to try to begin to explain how grateful we are for Kristen. She was THE key to our highly successful labor experience. After working with Kristen, I cannot believe I ever thought having a doula was "optional." My husband and I tell everyone to do everything they possibly can to not only have a doula, but specifically to work with Kristen.
Kristen went above and beyond our expectations. From meeting with us multiple times and making us feel that we could reach out with questions whenever we needed, to literally holding my hand through the hardest parts of my labor - she was truly present and our partner for it all. She provided the strength and the exact coaching I needed while allowing space for me to have ownership over my entire pregnancy and labor. She was such a loving spirit while also providing the specific guidance we needed. Her incredible intelligence and kindness provided such comfort to both me and my husband. After one minute of laboring, we knew we could count on her. Even during a long and hard labor we ended up with moments of laughter, which have become some of our favorite memories.
When we look back on this time, Kristen was so obviously an integral part of our journey. We had done so much research and thought we knew a lot about childbirth, but Kristen had us think through and discuss things we hadn't thought of. We felt prepared, cared for and wouldn't change one thing about our experience. We have our beautiful and healthy son Henry and are so grateful. When people ask if I would do it again, I say, "Absolutely. But only if Kristen was there!"
