I was lucky enough to find Doula Cat (my moniker for her since I believe she deserves a title) as a first time single mother by choice and pediatrician.
From the first interaction with her, you will feel Doula Cat’s empathy and compassion. She has a list of certifications the length of my arm (check out her website) and has years of experience. I loved that she had used to be a pediatric nurse; her knowledge extends from traditional to holistic medicine. What I valued the most from Doula Cat was her comforting energy. She is ready for anything. I felt relief after I met her knowing I was in good hands, and I was. She has endless ideas for creating a space that you would want for the delivery and emphasizes empowerment and informed consent for the mama before and during labor. I could not anticipate all the ways this doula would help me physically, mentally, and emotionally prepare, traverse, and recover from the birth of my daughter. She is called to do what she does and it shows.
If you choose to share your birth journey with her, you won’t regret it! Stop searching, just book her. She’s incredible.
Some highlights:
· Multiple prenatal, in – person, sessions filled with hands on skills and handouts
· Props!
· You’ll get emails with more informative links, websites, etc. than you could possible read (and she won’t pressure you to do so, but so nice to have!)
· She’s all about going with the flow and was so kind when my schedule caused me delay
· She will take care of YOU; she even fed me during a session when she realized I hadn’t eaten in hours
· She gives off a loving, kind comfort and is assertive when she needs to be
So grateful for you Doula Cat! <3
