Testimonial for Kathy Kinard CD CPD CBP CBE HTSMP
Kathy was fantastic! She is so kind and knowledgeable. During my prenatal visits she worked with both my husband and I, showing us specific stretches and positions from Spinning Babies that are meant to help baby move into an ideal position for birth. She was a wealth of knowledge and also a wonderful emotional support. She made herself available for phone calls when I was feeling anxious and she eased concerns I had about VBAC in a hospital setting. When i didn't feel supported by my obgyn she ultimately helped me decide on having a home birth instead, by talking through some of my fears and sharing resources and even asking around about local midwives to find a potential match for me.
When my waste broke and my labor didn't pick up, I risked out of the care of my midwife and had to transfer to the hospital. Kathy came with us and was a great advocate for me. She was also so gentle and supportive when I struggled with my medical ptsd and all the emotions from ending up in the very last place I wanted to be. She worked well with the nurses and was very attentive to my needs and also my husband's. My husband, who hadn't really understood the role of a Doula, has expressed how grateful he was to have her there.
