Testimonial for Kira Hendricksen
We made a last minute choice to hire a doula at 37 weeks pregnant and thank goodness we did! Even better that it was Kira. I had done all the research and body prep to try for a natural birth at Swedish First Hill. Kira was fully supportive of all our choices (including my request to be a part of the Swedish Bloodless Program)she helped facilitate my mental and physical prep over the next few weeks. She was also a helpful aid to my husband and offered ways he could be of support to me during the process.
The big day to meet our boy finally came, and it went absolutely nothing like I had imagined. Unfortunately nothing was working in my favor during labor and we had loads of disappointing news- seriously so grateful Kira was there for all of it! She was right by my side for every physical challenge, discomfort and disappointment. And was so supportive with suggestions, encouraging words and simply her presence. In the end I needed an emergency c section. Before this day I thought I would have been disappointed to have hired a doula and ended with a cesarean. But once again, thank goodness Kira was by our side! The toughest day of both mine and my husbands life probably, and we are so grateful Kira was there to help us thru it every step of the way. Her assertiveness, calm demeanor, and loving care stuck loyally by us throughout the rollercoaster. I hate to imagine what the day would have looked like without her there! I would love her by our side again with future births and I would recommend her to any friend or acquaintance! Hire the doula! Hire Kira! She is worth every penny and then some.
Thank you Kira. We don't have the proper words for our appreciation! Your skills and care left us with no doubt that we made the best decision to have you as our support!!
