Testimonial for Kim Nicholson CD(DONA) CLEC
If you're on this site, it's apparent that you're searching for the perfect doula to help support you in this monumental moment of bringing your child into this world. Look no further than Kim Nicholson. Kim was my doula for both my pregancies, which were complete opposite ends of the spectrum. The first birth was a grueling 24 hours at home, a traffic-filled drive to the hospital and an agonizing additional 6 hours with 2.5 hours of long pushing. Kim was there for me and my husband every step of the way. She was constantly checking in on me before it was time for her to come to my home, she helped with pressure points, calm breathing, words of encouragement, timing of contractions, different movements and techniques, and was an immense support to my husband. She had music, oils, pressure balls, all the tricks in the book to help mama's during this time. At the hospital, she helped communicate my needs to the nurse staff, get us food and drinks, remind me to breathe and change positions, a true nuturer in every case. Kim endured a long birth and kept my husband and myself on the right track to holding a healthy baby in our arms! For my second birth, we decided to have the baby in our home and Kim was escatic! She had a few at-home "classes" for us to prepare us for the mental and environmental preparedness necessary to have a home birth. She provided references for Midwives and helped us select the best team possible. She advised on breathing techniques, helped encourage me through the tough moments, sat next to me for hours just pouring water on my back letting me know I was doing a fantastic job (the English accent definitely soothes you too!) The second birth was 6 hours, 2 pushes and a whole lot of fun! (Really, it was amazing). After the each birth she checked in on me, visited, held and loved my baby so my husband and I could just take a break. Kim is now part of my family and I couldn't imagine having anyone else by myside for my doula.
