Testimonial for Kelly Contreras CD(DONA), CVD(TVL)
The fact that we could laugh in our first interaction gave us full confidence in our decision to hire Kelly for the full package. She was able to put us at ease about all that you worry about as you embark on pregnancy and birth for the first time. Because we committed early in pregnancy, our rapport got strong and support was there throughout my pregnancy. This was valuable when we got unsettling news at my 34 week ultrasound, she was empathetic and kind in helping us process the news. Kelly's humor became a helpful tool again when my due date came and went and ultimately resulted in an induction at 42 weeks. When I was in labor and had my husband reach out to have her join us at the hospital she asked if he needed anything and ended up bringing him his favorite breakfast burrito on her way. He claims it was revitalizing, evidencing how she was truly there for both of us. Throughout my labor she helped with pain management and also helped us make decisions that were closest to our preferences. We had a very negative experience with the delivering OB. Kelly called him out for his wrong doings in the moment and continued to stand up for me following. Witnessing her come to my aid with such passion made it clear she was meant to be a doula. She captured so many great moments that I will cherish forever in the birth photography. Because she was so attuned to us that day that we didn't even notice her taking pictures. We also reflect fondly on our postpartum visit and love our newborn family photos. I went with the Chinese medicine encapsulation and since taking them I feel exactly how she said I would, calm and relaxed. Which has really helped as I adjust to motherhood. I am beyond grateful for all of Kelly's services in my most vulnerable moments and I have nothing but amazing things to report about my experience with her. I am forever grateful to her and all she did in helping me bring my baby earth side.
