Testimonial for Kathleen Wilson
The obstetrician-led birth of my first child was a genuinely negative experience, so hiring a doula was one of many things I did differently during my second pregnancy. Kathleen was one of several doulas recommended to me by my midwife. I spoke to a few doulas and Kathleen offered to meet us at our house the very next day. It was a no-brainer to choose Kathleen: among many reasons, she has had children of her own both in hospital and at home, she has attended births as a doula for over 12 years, she has 4 other doulas in her practice who are available as backup and importantly I felt our personalities were a good match. Kathleen met us at our home 3 times before I went into labor where we worked on a birth plan, looked at aromatherapy and discussed many different birthing scenarios. Kathleen made it clear that no matter what your vision is, your birth can be an amazing experience, and she is supportive of whatever path you choose. On the day I gave birth, Kathleen labored with us for a total of about 12 hours. She was an extremely calming and positive influence. I truly believe that one of her techniques helped my labor progress when I got stuck. She also got me through the psychologically difficult parts of the labor. Ultimately Kathleen was one of the main reasons I was able to have the natural childbirth I so desired, and I look back on it with happy memories. Thank you Kathleen!
