Keisha was just the doula we were looking for. She was very knowledgeable and she guided us through each step to help us prepare for birth. She was always calm, present, and personable while being very professional, which made it easy to communicate and connect with her. We appreciated the time she took to truly listen to our needs and concerns and addressed them all.
We can't imagine how we would've gotten through our labor and delivery without Keisha. She came to the hospital as soon as we needed her and immediately worked to comfort us, from helping with contractions to making the room feel relaxed. She stayed by our side the whole time. She was really sweet to set up the extra hospital bed in our delivery room for my husband to get a break and to sleep for a bit while I was laboring. Meanwhile, Keisha was with me, providing counterpressures during my contractions and helping me get the extra medical attention I needed when my epidural wasn't doing its job. During my four-hour delivery (!!), she worked closely with my OB and nurses to ensure everything went smoothly. It really felt like she was an extension of their team. These are just two of several wonderful examples of how attentive Keisha was.
Overall, we are so grateful Keisha was a part of our birth journey. We were hesitant to work with a doula, in general, and now we are so glad we did and it was with Keisha. We can't recommend her enough.
