My partner and I had an amazing experience with Kimberly as our doula. We had originally sought a doula as more of support for my partner during labor and birth- so that he could in turn support me. We did a simple google search and Kimberly's website was the first to pop up, so professionally done that we were impressed. She impressed us with her professional experience as well as her history in the medical field in France. She is very straightforward about her pricing and is flexible with payments plans- she works with you.
she was very communicative as we waited (and waited and waited) to go into labor, she came to our home and labored there with us until it was time to go to the birth center.
but here's where she goes above and beyond. I was in labor for a total of 48 hours- 28 of that was spent at the birth center. It was a draining and mentally difficult experience for all of us and she never left our side. I pushed for 5 hours before I delivered our daughter and she never ceased encouraging me and providing physical comfort like fanning, holding my legs, cold water to drink, or counter pressure on my hips. She made sure my partner could take a break and go to the bathroom or eat which was so important to me. She stayed after the birth to make sure that we were comfortable and that I could latch her at the breast independently before she went home.
I can 100% say that we would not have been able to have the unmedicated, out of hospital birth that we wanted if Kimberly had not been a part of our team. We are so grateful to her! We would recommend her to anyone.
