I worked with Katie during both of my pregnancies and births. With my second, she also supported my family postpartum through what was an unexpectedly scary and challenging period. My needs and my families needs were different with my first and second pregnancies/births, and Katie supported us exactly how we needed each time. With my first, she really guided us and helped empower my husband to support me through the birth, reminding him of the comfort measures we'd practiced and teaming with him and with my medical team. With my second, Katie connected us to all of the resources we needed pre and postpartum and helped me problem solve and plan in advance so we could try and avoid some of the challenges I experienced with my first birth. During both births, she was a calming presence who helped me to trust my instincts and provided support and ideas when we needed them. With my second postpartum, she was an incredible source of practical support (postpartum doula services) as well as emotional support as I navigated some very scary postpartum complications that landed me in the ER multiple times. When DC area friends tell me they're pregnant, my #1 piece of advice is to hire Katie.
