Testimonial for Kelly Contreras CD(DONA), CVD(TVL)
Kelly was like a guardian angel, quietly advocating for me in the background and taking care of a million tiny details during our birthing time — from closing the blinds to create an atmosphere that let me draw inward, to making up the couch into a bed for my husband and refilling my ice chips, while gently encouraging me to try different positions and manipulating the tools for me to do so (plus she does this hip squeeze thing that made my contractions so much easier!) Ultimately, Kelly managed the margins which allowed my husband and I to be more fully present to our birth and our daughter when she arrived. And then to see the photographs she captured of our birth — Kelly caught special moments I didn’t even remember, which we’ll now treasure forever. The newborn photo shoot was such a gift as well! She even got a genuine smile out of my 10-year-old. Our holiday card this year consists entirely of photos by Kelly.
Kelly’s steady confidence effused into our entire birth experience, helping me and my husband be far more calm and present than I imagined possible — she is a big reason why I can honestly say I wouldn’t change a thing about my daughter’s birth. I deeply appreciate Kelly’s expertise and services, and strongly recommend My Doula Kelly to be your doula, too!
