Testimonial for Katie Gould
Let me start off by saying that my pregnancy journey was rough. The last thing I wanted to do was have an awful birthing experience. I knew I had to find a doula to support my husband and myself because we didn't have any friends or family here after having just moved from another state. I interviewed several doulas and needless to say, Katie was the perfect fit from the beginning. In fact, I knew there was a chance that I might go into labor when she was out of town, but I met her backup and still chose to go with her. Luckily, my daughter ended up coming later and we were able to have Katie there for the ride! Throughout the whole process Katie was there to support us and I really felt like my questions were answered and she was there for us. Katie was the first to let me know (after speaking to an emergency nurse) that I should be going to the hospital because my water broke and it was meconium, while the nurse line told me I was probably okay to stay at home. This was my first baby and I didn't want to take any chances. I'm so thankful she did because I needed to be monitored to make sure her heartbeat was steady. Katie offered all of the birthing positions and walked us through them during the many hours, while I never would've remembered half of them. She made us feel at ease and comfortable the whole time. I can not recommend her enough. All of the reviews she has are very much true. I'm so thankful we found her!
