Testimonial for Kate Finley CD(DONA)
Looking for a doula can be intimidating and overwhelming. How do you know the doula is right for you? How do you know you’ll vibe with the doula? Will your husband like and trust the doula?
Whether you are having a home birth or hospital birth… Kate would be the best addition to your birth team.
My husband and I knew we wanted Kate to be our doula from our first meeting. She has such a calm presence and is extremely knowledgeable in birth work.
Kate held space for me in so many ways. She helped me work through the trauma of not having my mom or aunt present at my birth since they have passed away. She helped me work through that loss and grief before the birth so I was more prepared if/when any emotions came up.
My birth started as a home birth and then I was transferred to the hospital. While at home Kate supported me through tough contractions and coached my husband on what to do, where to apply counter pressure, and how to hold space for me. While I was in labor land I knew Kate was nearby but most of the time I didn’t know if it was Kate or my husband. That is how comfortable I was with Kate. She just became one with us. When I wanted to give up and be done with the labor Kate was there to support me, listen to my needs, and try to help me keep on going. Once we were transferred to the hospital Kate was there to help us make some tough decisions. She helped us understand what the doctors were explaining and answer questions. Without Kate there, I would have lost control of my birth and there would have been more chaos in the end.
My husband and I are both so incredibly thankful for her. When we have our second kid she will absolutely be a part of our team again. We couldn't imagine a birth without her by our side.
