Testimonial for Kathleen Wilson

I had a very emotionally traumatic birth via unnecessary c-section with my first child, so when I was expecting my second child I wanted to attempt a VBAC and knew I need all the support I could get.  Kathleen came highly recommended from the ICAN (internation Cesaran Awarness Network) as someone who had worked with women who were attemptin VBAC and who was comfortable working in a hospital setting.  I wanted as natural a birth as possible and Kathleen helped me prepare for that goal.  I ended up having a surgical birth but was able to labor for 40 hours (after my water broke and being GBS positive) with Kathleen's support.  She helped my DH and I understand what medical personel were telling us and helped us walk through making decisions.  She helped me keep my focus on relaxing and letting my body work so even though I didn't have the birth I planned (because when do babies ever let you do what you plan) I had such a positive and empowering birth experience I will be forever grateful for Kathlee.  She helped me to understand that birth has so many ways of happening and no way is any more right than another.  She helped me work through the issues I had from my first birth experience and I will be forever grateful for that.  She has so much to offer counselor, knowledge, aromatherapist, calm presence, positive energy, humor at just the right moment, hair dresser;).  Kathleen will always be near and dear to my heart as the one who helped me heal from my son's birth and helped find the courage to make the best decisions for my daughter's birth.  Thank you Kathleen.
