Testimonial for Katie Baxter
Katie supported my husband and I extensively for the birth of our first child in September 2022. I cannot say enough about how much she helped our family - both with labor and during the postpartum period.
Katie helped us fully prepare for labor - she demystified so much about the experience and armed us with the knowledge to think about our approach. She was incredibly helpful in providing resources and recommendations - from the type of pacifier we might want on hand, to finding an infant CPR class. She was always responsive to my (many many) questions, especially in the weeks leading up to our daughter's birth.
Katie has a unique brand of brilliance in which she is able to share her enormous depth of knowledge while empowering you to make the decisions that are right for you and your family. She fully honored my desires for labor and helped me prepare so that they could be a reality. Katie was an incredibly important part of my labor experience and was with us every step of the way. Her presence was a huge comfort to my partner as well - and because of her support, he could truly show up as my partner without fear or anxiety - Katie's presence was calm, comforting, and was a pivotal part in enabling us to have the labor experience we desired.
I had no idea the postpartum period, and the adjustment to life as parents, would be so difficult (for me especially). I needed significantly more support than anticipated and Katie wholeheartedly showed up for our family. She helped us navigate feeding challenges, sleep deprivation, and more in the month's following our daughter's birth. I honestly can't imagine going through this process without Katie in our corner and cannot recommend Katie enough for labor and postpartum support.
