Testimonial for Kelsey Machado
We found Kelsey pretty late in our pregnancy due to some communication issues with our providers at the time. I was needing more consent and informed based care than they were offering, so we sought out a doula who would help us navigate the end of pregnancy through birth, and Kelsey was just the person for the job. Our birth ended in a c section due to unforeseen circumstances, and Kelsey made sure every what if and what next was laid out. Every question my husband and I hadn't thought of, she made sure was answered. The other wonderful thing about Kelsey is as a former athlete, I was searching for a coach, and Kelsey was very good at keeping me moving through the labor (prior to deciding on a c section), so I did not stall. All I wanted to do was lie down and bed, but what I needed was someone to keep me moving and motivated. I am very grateful for Kelsey to help us welcome our little girl in to the world. Kelsey was the best moral and spiritual support we could have had for our first birth.
