Testimonial for Kathleen Wilson
Kathleen helped educate not only me, but also my husband, on all of the many things we didn't know the first time (and everything we forgot when we got prego with the second). I felt well prepared and informed both times. Kathleen presents information in an unbiased, frank way and provides all the facets to build into your decision making framework. She does her homework to provide you with as much fact/science/stats as possible and will tell you when she doesn't know.
My first birth went beautifully with coaching from Kathleen. We were able to labor in the comfort of our own home until it was time to go to the hospital. Once we got to the hospital, she coached and advocated for me through the more difficult parts of labor, helping me feel safe, beautiful and loved along the way.
The second birth went quite differently than the first. I had predromal labor for the 3 weeks leading up to the birth which was self-defeating and challenging. Kathleen provided me a shoulder to literally cry on, gave me encouragement, reminded me of my options and took my calls and texts every false alarm I had. The night I finally went into labor everything happened so suddenly and without much pattern. I called Kathleen and she took pause to tell me she trusted me to know my body best. Her taking the time to tell me that in the midst of all of my self-doubt immediately empowered me. My water broke just after her kind words which led us to a quick ride to the hospital and the baby being born 15 minutes after arrival. Kathleen didn't make it to the hospital in time and apparently covid policies changed that day so they wouldn't allow her in when she did arrive. My husband took her coaching from the phone like a champ!
All in all, Kathleen is phenomenal. She's a big hug when you need it, a good laugh when you are feeling low and a kind heart always. I would recommend her 100 times over!!
