We used Kathleen for the birth of our first son. Although we opted for a hospital delivery, I wanted to have a fully natural unmedicated birth. Kathleen guided us through the process from start till end with great devotion and sheer practical expertise. Since we just recently moved to the US from Europe, we were not familiar with any of the medical practices or birthing customs. Kathleen laid out every step of the process with great clarity and we felt we quickly got up to speed on many different possible scenarios. She is always available and willing to guide you through every hurdle you might face.
Kathleen was there for me and my spouse when we labored for 22h, and was of invaluable help to try out different labor positions, pressure points or aromatherapy. She helped my husband guide me better through each contraction, so we were able to have a truly intimate experience. When the verdict of the doctor was to give me a C-section because of medical reasons, she helped me cope with this 'change of plans' and understand that getting a healthy baby was the number one goal of our entire birth plan in the first place.
she helped me with lactation advice and got me all the right contacts to make this experience as enjoyable and effective as possible.
Ultimately, even though we didn't get the full natural birthing experience as we expected, both my husband and I feel very satisfied with our labor experience.
I would recommend Kathleen to anybody, for whatever birthing experience you're looking for. She knows all the right people and tricks to make any delivery your very own private event.
