Testimonial for Katherine Ward
My husband and I were incredibly satisfied and appreciative of the doula and postpartum doula services Katherine provided our family. I do not know what we would have done without her help bringing our first child into this world. Katherine truly went above and beyond. In the weeks leading up to my birth, she provided helpful recommendations and tools to get us ready. I loved her evidence-informed approaches. I found out at 34 weeks that I had ICP and Katherine was ready and willing to provide support to us earlier than we planned and in ways we were not anticipating. My induction took place at 37 weeks and Katherine was so flexible and ready to step in when we needed her. At the hospital, Katherine played an integral role working with the medical team and helping me and my husband cope throughout the journey. From recommended positions, to encouraged advocacy for my needs and wishes during a long labor, Katherine was there. She was a source of comfort, encouragement, and wealth of knowledge which provided such reassurance to us.
With Katherine as our postpartum doula, I had much needed help in my first weeks as a new mom. Katherine provided wonderful care to our newborn son when breaks were needed. Katherine had such a calming presence and very engaging interactions with our son. I felt so grateful to have the same doula that helped bring my son into the world help us care for him in his early life. It was great to have Katherine’s consult and recommendations for newborn care and breastfeeding. I am still nursing my son going on 6 months and I do not think I would have made it through my early challenges without her encouragement and recommended resources. Katherine was very mindful and accommodating of our family’s needs even helping with light house work. I especially appreciated her concern for our family during COVID, she was always masked and washing hands while in our home. Katherine is wonderful.
