We are so grateful our friend suggested we looked into getting a Doula for the birth of our first child. We found Katie on DoulaMatch and met up with her to see if we may be a good fit. Right away my husband and I felt a sense of calmness and connection with her when she was around.
We found Katie to be very knowledgeable, calming and confident to guide us. She joined us at our home where we pre laboured before heading to the hospital, then she met us at the hospital and stayed through the night for our labour. Katie gave the space to my husband for him to take the lead in areas where he felt comfortable, while focusing on supporting both of us and most specifically, guiding me with my breath. She did an excellent job communicating with my husband and I along with the nurses and doctors throughout the whole experience.
Katie is a great listener and was supportive with each decision we made, with no judgment. She came back to visit us in the hospital and even took home and laundered a few items for us which was very lovely. We have stayed in touch for postpartum check-ins and can't thank Katie enough for being such a positive addition to this amazing experience.
Our little girl was born healthy and happy and our gratitude to Katie and the Team at KGH will stay with us forever.
