Testimonial for Catherine Young
My experience with Catherine was nothing short of amazing! I hired Catherine fairly late in pregnancy at 37 weeks, and despite only having about two weeks before giving birth, I felt like I had known her for years. I had a scheduled elective induction at 39 weeks and while in triage prior to admission to labor & delivery, Catherine was very accessible by phone to answer any questions and encouraged me to advocate for myself when necessary. During labor, she worked seamlessly with the L&D nurse to reposition me, translate medical terms and the overall process of labor. She was an encouraging voice in the room who provided support during painful contractions and held my hands when I was feeling incredibly anxious-particularly during the epidural. I truly cannot imagine giving birth without a doula-it was a completely different kind of support that I couldn't have anticipated needing, and truly was like having a calm coach or your super cool aunt to provide support. Catherine also took some amazing and absolutely priceless photos for us after our baby was born, and continued to stay in contact within the days following birth in addition to a postpartum visit where she provided a ton of useful resources. I highly recommend working with a doula, and particularly with Catherine! 10/10 experience.
