Kathleen was the perfect birth partner, and my husband and I could not have asked for a more amazing doula. From the first meeting we were reassured by her brilliant combination of compassion and strength. She is wonderfully kind and nurturing just when you need it, encouraging and strong when you need that, and goes in to bat for you if need be with medical staff to help you to stay on track with the birth you want. Though we had planned to be at a birth center, I felt safe knowing that Kathleen also had so much experience with hospitals and their procedures, so that if we ended up there she would still be our guide, birth goddess and protectress. And she was! Though we had an unexpected transfer to hospital, Kathleen was right there winning everyone over and getting us the best care. We were still able to enjoy some of the natural birth experiences we wanted because of her. In the middle of a long night of labor, with husband flagging, she is there for you, with her calm strength and her endless warmth and support. I cannot recommend her more highly.
