I was put in touch with Katherine thanks to a mutual friend who said she was looking to get her doula business going and would be a great match for me. We met for coffee early in my pregnancy and immediately hit it off. After interviewing one other potential doula and discussing it with my husband, we decided Katherine would be the best fit. She was involved throughout my pregnancy and would check on me periodically to hear about my prenatal visits and get any updates and ultrasound photos. She met with us at our house a while before my due date to go over my goals and birth plan, share tips and counter pressure positions, and see if I had any questions for her. She made sure I knew she would be ready to meet me at the hospital whenever I went into labor and that I would have her undivided attention. Once I went into the hospital Katherine arrived shortly after and jumped right in lending a hand as I squatted through contractions, and making sure I drank water. She was by my side along with my midwife, my husband and my mom for the entire process and though it is hard to remember details I always had a hand to hold and I do specifically remember her soothing voice talking me through contractions as I was in the intense transition phase, telling me the wave would subside and I would have rest in between. As my daughter was born she even got some pictures for which I am very grateful. Soon after she headed out and I would have loved for her to stay around longer to talk but in the moment I had plenty to keep me occupied obviously. She came to visit me and the baby not long after to check on us and make sure I was recovering well. She was so supportive and loving through the entire process and I am so glad we had her as our doula. It is a huge thing to choose who will be present for the birth of your baby, a momentous event, and I wouldn't have changed a thing. I highly recommend Katherine to any moms looking for a doula who is caring, calm, and reliable.
