Testimonial for Katy Carter
Working with Katy on my May 2023 birth was the best decision and use of monetary resources my husband and I made when prepping for our first child. Katy is patient, kind, experienced, and has the ultimate passion for her profession. I cannot imagine anyone more well suited to their job than Katy!
My husband and I knew that we were both clueless on everything in the birth process and wanted doula guidance. Katy has been incredible through every stage: pre- birth, birth, and postpartum. Katy encouraged us to text anytime with questions and always had fabulous answers ready along with links and resources. No question has been too small for her to help us with. Katy is great at providing evidence based solutions and resources, which helped me stay away from panic googling and stay focused.
For the birth itself, I truly could not and would not have been able to have as successful of a birth without Katy. When I found out I had to be induced, I was pretty disappointed. She walked me through every single scenario and assured me she would be there. After a multi day induction with one failed IV, epidural struggles, and my bad anxiety, my daughter was born. Katy held my hand through the whole thing, showed my partner how to support me, and moved my body through dozens of positions to help my baby descend. All while acting calm and making sure to force me to eat and drink.
Postpartum, Katy has been there for me through breastfeeding struggles and a pumping journey. I get emotional and overwhelmed when I think about her selflessness and her passion for this work. Everything would have been rougher without her. I cannot thank Katy enough for touching my life during this wild, once in a lifetime new experience, I will remember it (and Katy) forever.
