Testimonial for Cathy (Cat) Gomez
From prenatal sessions to postpartum followup, Doula Cat is AMAZING. Cat is so thorough, and so happy to share resources, experiences, and a listening ear to help you through every step of the pregnancy and birth process. We had 4 prenatal sessions (we ended up going to the hospital the day after our 4th visit, otherwise there would have been 5!) she gave great suggestions on how to help move my body to ensure I was comfortable throughout pregnancy, and it helped immensely when it came time to give birth. When we went to the hospital, it was sudden, and a little over 5 weeks before I was due. She was so flexible and supportive, and helped us stay calm in a VERY stressful induction. (I went in for a Non-stress test, and was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia with sever features, and suddenly I was getting ready to have a baby). She was available and right by our side for the whole 2.5 day (60 hour) labor period - she set up the room beautifully with calming lights and mantras, helped me move around the room, and gave me context for what was happening (she worked as an RN previously, which made for WONDERFUL insight along the way).
Cat is gentle, knowledgeable, eager to share her knowledge and skills, and wholeheartedly willing to support you in your journey the way you want to have it. She helped connect and work with the hospital staff to keep interactions respectful and calm, and helped get us the information/support/care we needed. I would have her be a part of our birth journey again in a heartbeat.
