Testimonial for Kimberly Ryan
My husband and I had the pleasure of having Kim Ryan's support during our son's birth in July 2022.
Leading up to our son's birth, Kim educated us on what to expect during the birth and postpartum stages, as well as instructed me (mama) on how to prepare my body using the BRM (Body Ready Method). Kim was thorough, thoughtful, and incredibly intuitive throughout the entire process; providing what we needed, when we needed it. For example, after seeing a Pelvic Floor Therapist and sharing their findings with Kim, she carefully modified my BRM plan to fit my needs.
All of the prenatal sessions with Kim helped us feel confident going into our birth. When the time of our son;s birth came, she met us at the hospital and brought her calm and peaceful energy. She gently provided positioning suggestions, words of encouragement, and loving touch to mama and dad. When we reached a critical point during labor, Kim spoke on behalf of mama to the medical staff; her requests lead to a more comfortable solution and was a catalyst for a smooth delivery. We truly believe our incredible labor can be attributed to the prep we did with Kim, and to her advocating for us while in the delivery room. The "cherry on top" was Kim's nurturing presence post-birth where she made sure that mama and dad were fed and cared for before triage.
Thank you Kim, you made our amazing birth experinece what it was.
