Testimonial for Kizzy Bailey CD(DONA), CPD, CVD(TVL), CLE, PAILAdvocate
I would absolutely recommend Kizzy of Devoted Doula to any friends and family who are pregnant. She was amazing. I do not believe that my birth experience would have been the incredible, positive experience it was, without her support. I was able to achieve my ideal birth scenario as a first time mom and bring my son into this world in a hospital setting with no pain medication. Having Kizzy in my corner gave me the confidence I needed in myself to be able to do this. I had a lot of fear about birth and pain that was greatly assuaged by her support. I can't overstate the value of how secure, capable, and relaxed she made me feel by having her on my team.
Kizzy came to my house and met with my husband and I shortly after I hired her during my third trimester. She interviewed me and wrote my birth plan for me based on what I wanted which I felt too overwhelmed to write myself. I had a few instances in the weeks leading up to birth where I thought I might be going into labor and she was only a text away to let her know what was going on. Though I knew my husband would be an incredible support during labor, it was a relief for BOTH of us to know we would have a third-party person for whom this experience was her job and something she is very familiar with, since this was both my husband and I’s first child. After one challenging pre-natal doctor’s appointment where I felt dismissed by medical staff, I called Kizzy and she reassured me and helped me advocate for myself. During my labor she did counter pressure on my hips during contractions which was absolutely necessary for me to get through them. She took awesome pictures of my husband and I seeing our little boy for the first time that I am SO grateful I have to cherish forever. The doctor who delivered my baby also told me I had a great doula.
If I have another child I will call Kizzy in heartbeat to help me through the next one just like she did for my first baby!
