Testimonial for Kimberly Ryan

Kimberly Ryan was my birth hero! I am grateful for everything she's done during this important transition for our family in November 2023. I had a very traumatic emergency C-section with my first child so I was determined to work with a knowledgeable doula for a TOLAC/VBAC for my second and I could not be more fortunate to have worked with her. The prenatal sessions were extremely informative while being a two-way street - providing ample room for the expecting parent to feel heard and understood. Time flew by for every session and made me feel more prepared than the last. We would not only learn about birth but also enjoy conversing with her. Her background in the Body Ready Method and physiology, leading me through exercises were so helpful to help prepare physically for labor.

Kimberly's breadth and depth of knowledge of all things birth-related - even while I was fighting COVID in Week 37 and ended up in the ER, she provided evidence-based support for me to make an informed decision on the meds I was offered for the pain. For birth itself, even though I wanted to go for a VBAC, I ended up with a scheduled C-section since my baby was breech, but even then, Kimberly's calming, affirming, and assured presence during prep, and surgery (she accompanied me in the OR alongside my husband), and recovery grounded me and guided me through it all to cope and actually appreciate the type of birth that I did not want previously.

Her network of providers and recommendations were also 10/10 as every provider I was recommended by Kimberly were sheer rockstars, folks who really take care of the expectant mother holistically. Look no further than Kimberly for your birth doula. I mean it!!
