Testimonial for Katherine Hall
Katherine was integral to mine and my husbands experience giving birth to our first child. She was a wealth of information and encouragment in the months leading up to our due date and came for a home visit several times to meet with my husband and I. While I was pretty well informed, already doing my research, my spouse was not as much and having the opportunity to walk through what to expect with Katherine together with him I feel helped alleiviate a lot of his concerns and just "don't know what you don't know". It was wonderful to have Katherine to soundboard with, ask questions and get guidance to evidence based articles and research as I firgured out what kind of birth plan I wanted to have while delivering in a hospital.
Katherine was a constant source of encouragement before and after delivery. She stuck it out with me through 14 of my 24 hours of labor in hospital and helped me stick with my desires for an unmedicated birth. When I decided to get an epidural after 14 hours of active labor and being stuck for 10 hours at 9.5 dilated, she assured me of how hard I'd worked and that this wasn't admitting defeat helping me stay in a positive mental space. While she wasn't able to be present for our sons birth, she was still encouraging and checking in via text and took several calls from me as my husband and I faced some additional decisions helping me keep a level head while truly at a point of exhaustion.
In addition to all of this wonderful support, Katherine provided her care and service with a focus on prayer and scripture. It was priority for my husband and I to have a fellow believer as our doula and she was truly a part of our birth plan and sons birth story. Both my husband and I have remarked multiple times in the months since how we don't think we could have gotten through it without her calming presence and covering prayers.
