Testimonial for Katherine Smith
Hiring Katherine as our doula was the best decision. As first time parents, we were grateful to have someone to discuss all of the possibilities and options when it came to labor and delivery. Unlike my OB's appointments, Katherine's prenatal visits never felt rushed. We spent a lot of time talking about our thoughts and concerns, asking questions, going over labor techniques, and making a plan for birth. When labor started she came to my home and provided gentle support and reassurance. She came to the hospital with us and continued to encourage and coach me throughout the course of the labor. When presented with the need for interventions, Katherine was very knowledgeable and was able to help us make the decisions we wanted. After the birth, she would message us periodically to check on us. She visited me at home about a week after the birth to see how we were adjusting and answer any questions we had. Since things during labor didn't go how we would have hoped, and I ended up needing an emergency C-section, she really helped us process our feelings about the birth as well. We had another visit about a month postpartum. It was nice to feel the continued support even after the birth was over. We will definitely be working with Katherine again when it's time for baby #2!
