Testimonial for Kay Nakajima CD(DONA), LCCE
You should absolutely hire Kay as your doula. Here's our experience working with her:
In fall 2021, we decided to hire a doula for our late Feb 2022 expected delivery. As first-time parents new to the area, we wanted an experienced, supportive person who could help guide us through pregnancy, delivery, and post-birth. Kay was everything we were looking for, and we had a great feeling talking to her on the initial video call. Our goal was to have a straight-forward natural birth, and she prepared us for that, but she also prepared us for the off-chance of things went south. Well, it did - but we didn't have to go through it alone.
Our son's birth ended up being a 40+ hour labor culminating in an emergency C-section. We will never forget how much of a rock she was for us in that very trying time. Kay was extremely calm, steady, and reassuring, constantly present and tuned in, and had incredible endurance. Her years of experience was evident through it all, and she gelled well with the labor nurses at Overlake.
After this exhausting experience, we were fortunate to have her additional help through her post-partum services in the following weeks.
Looking back now, four months later, it's thankfully a blur, and our son is active, happy, and healthy. But what we will never forget is how outstanding Kay was for us in that crazy period. This is somebody who is both professional, knowledgable, and competent, but also down-to-earth, kind, and friendly. There's so many good doulas in the Seattle area but we can wholeheartedly recommend as an excellent doula.
