Testimonial for Kelly Kathrens CD., ILFS
My husband and I hired Kelly from the start of our pregnancy. As first time parents, we knew we wanted the support from an experienced doula as we navigated pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum. Not only did Kelly give so much of her time for our family, but she went above and beyond with her insights, tips, and advice. We trusted her and felt comfortable sharing any concerns and questions we had.
During our prenatal visits, Kelly asked all the thorough questions we didn’t think of as we were preparing our birth plan. Once labor and delivery came, Kelly stayed as long as we needed. She made sure our birth plan was executed as we wanted, and it couldn’t have gone smoother! As we started the postpartum visits, we were so grateful for her expertise as a lactation specialist specifically. She helped troubleshoot latching problems we were experiencing and checked in on us consistently to make sure all was going well.
We have a happy, healthy, strong baby girl and we have Kelly to thank! We couldn’t have made it through without her. Kelly’s kindness went such a long ways! When we met her on a call for the first time we connected right away and knew it was the perfect fit. If you’re debating whether to hire a doula, just go for it! The more support the better as you navigate life with a newborn.
