Testimonial for Katie Gould
We hired Katie to be our postpartum doula for our second baby, and I'm so glad we did. I'd had a traumatic postpartum experience with my first, and I wanted my 2nd time around to be anything but.
I'd initially hired her because she has 4 children of her own, and I knew her personal experience was exactly what I needed. I'd expressed to her my breastfeeding goals, and my concerns with becoming a second time mom. She pushed me to reach my breastfeeding goals, and was even able to offer help for our toddler.
She helped with dishes, laundry, and even made sure I was eating enough! She also really became part of our family, in those 6 weeks we had her, and I still contact her for support on various topics. One of the things I appreciate the most about Katie is her very practical approach to caring for babies. She never made me feel intimidated by all her experience.
She is also extremely personable, and relatable! 10/10 I would hire her again, if I were to ever had another child.
