Testimonial for Kimberly Duran CD(DONA), CD(AWWS)
As a first time mom, the best decision we made was to hire a doula. And we were absolutely blessed to have found Kim.
She helped to inform our decisions, both big and small, providing unbiased evidence-based information while in no way influencing even the most polarizing choices we'd have to make as new parents. Her responsiveness to mom during pregnancy was incredibly helpful, as we encountered change with each passing trimester. She'd offer tips and solutions for the discomforts and encouragement along the way. When it came to the big day, her calming energy, guidance, and advocacy were invaluable. She was in touch with us throughout early labor, and came to our home during active labor fully prepared with a multitude of aids - from aromatherapies to pillows. She guided us throughout, helping us to know when it was time to go to the birthing center.
We chose an out-of-hospital birth, and Kim worked seamlessly with our team of midwives. She was as involved as we'd discussed prior to the big day, helping with her own measures while also assisting my husband in ways he could be present and helpful.
There is no question that we would have Kim present for our next birth, if we're fortunate enough to conceive again. If her calendar is free for your due date window, don't hesitate! Our birth story is beautiful, largely due to Kim's involvement.
