At first as the father, I was unsure about paying money for help with what I felt was the most natural processes in life which was giving birth. However, I was willing to do anything and everything necessary to make this process as easy as possible for my wife. After all, it was her first child. So, I hired Keisha. From the beginning, she was helpful and an asset. She inundated us with information and knowledge that made us aware of exactly what was taking place with my wife’s body and the baby growing inside of her the entire time, making me an expert birth partner. When my wife went into labor Keisha was there every step of the way with support, ensuring that both me and my wife were ready and capable of pulling off a natural labor. When things got difficult, and I almost lost all of my Daddy Doula superpowers, she swooped in to help me fight any demons of doubt and frustration with her expertise and cool calm professionalism. I can honestly say that I don’t know how I would have handled this experience without her. And the money I paid was money well spent.
