Testimonial for Kelly Kathrens CD., ILFS
When my partner and I began our journey to have a baby via surrogate, I had no idea what a doula was or why we would need one. But as the journey progressed and the birth was approaching, we met Kelly - and she changed everything for us.
Kelly was our babypedia, our concierge, and our therapist. She took care of everything, she made us feel informed and safe, and she helped us navigate what would otherwise have been a confusing and intimidating process. She liaised with the hospital, got us all into the delivery room together, made sure we always knew where we were going and what to expect - and throughout the process made every day fun and enjoyable.
And after the birth, Kelly was there for us. She helped us with night nursing, taught us the right way to feed and and care for our new baby, and made sure we had all the tips and tools to get us home and off to a perfect start.
So thank you Kelly - we’ll always consider you as not only an amazing professional in your field, but also as a great friend.
