Testimonial for Kelly Contreras CD(DONA), CVD(TVL)
Hiring Kelly as our Doula was the BEST decision we could have made for the birth of our daughter (first baby). There are so many fears, uncertainty and information overload when it comes to preparing for labor & delivery and Kelly was there every step of the way. She came to our home a couple of times and walked through our mindset, emotions, thoughts and validated everything that we were feeling - Both me as a first time mom and my husband who wanted to make sure we had someone experienced by our side. Kelly came in with confidence, a wealth of knowledge, and a comforting energy that made us feel prepared, strong and ready. She spends a good amount of time walking through pressure point & position work that you can do in the third trimester, gives you things to think about and documentation to read through to prepare on your own time, and was also available via text with literally ANY question or concern that came through either of our minds!
By the time my water broke a week early, we reached out to Kelly and kept her in the loop with every single detail/update- She was quick to respond and answer our calls. Kelly helped us talk through the situation and discuss options that the doctor had proposed. When it was getting closer to "go time," Kelly came into our hospital room (while I was laboring in the tub!) and she didn't skip a beat before jumping in and providing me with the exact caring words and hip pressure that I needed in that very moment. She was not only there for me, but she was there for my husband when he had questions or just simply didn't what he should do to help. Through the coming hours, Kelly was my shoulder to lean on (quite literally), our advocate, and our experienced, trusted partner who was there for the BOTH of us. Any moment that I felt scared or tired, I would look at her for comfort and she talked through how I was feeling and what my options were.We are so thankful for Kelly- Hire her as your Doula!
