I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with Kaitlin following the birth of my first child. I do not know what I would have done without her! When I began working with Kaitlin, I had many questions and concerns regarding my physical recovery, breastfeeding, our daughter's development, and family dynamics. In addition, I was overtired and frazzled! After my daughter's birth, Kaitlin spent a week with my family, providing holistic support. Working with her felt effortless, which was key to me as a new parent. Kaitlin was incredibly flexible in providing just the type of support I needed at a particular moment. This ranged from helping to care for the baby so I could shower or nap, finding resources to assist with my physical recovery, providing nutritious meals, organizing my home to make baby care easier, going with me to daycare visits, helping me to exercise and get out of the house, and more than anything, providing endless advice, support, and encouragement. After our week together, I was rested, reassured, and much more confident in my recovery and in caring for our baby. Kaitin has continued to be available via phone and email, and she's been my first call whenever I've had questions or concerns. Her calm, pragmatic style is so reassuring and she's never failed to help or point me to a resource.
Through our time together Kaitlin set herself apart in her ability to truly customize her care to my family's specific needs. She was respectful of our preferences and was so supportive in enabling us to make the decisions that we felt were best for our family. I would highly recommend Kaitlin to any pre or post-partum families, regardless of whether you are struggling or just looking to be more prepared for, or better adjusted to, life with your new arrival.
