Testimonial for Keli Schurman-Darby, CD, CPD, C-FSD, CLE, CBE,CDD
I chose Keli out of a few different doulas initially because I liked her experience and certifications. When my husband and I interviewed her, I immediately knew she was the doula for us with her love of both science and the woo around birth. We hired her immediately and I was able to access her recommended items and packing list. They were both very helpful though I didn't end up using a lot of it as my baby was breech. When I told Keli he was breech, she gave me resources to help turn him and offered words of encouragement about c-section birth being valid and just as magical as vaginal birth. I really needed that in the headspace I had entered in the final weeks of my pregnancy. Baby boy was scheduled for a c-section but ended up coming early and we were easily able to contact Keli and she got there just in time to support us and to make sure I was able to have pictures of my baby being born and my husband and me holding him. Keli made sure we had a lactation consultant come to our room quickly and made sure we were in a good space before she went to her next birth. Keli's follow up visits were great too! We loved the star chart and her ability to answer our random questions. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat.
