Like many, I initially questioned is a Doula was for me. However, as my pregnancy progressed, the uncertainties started to overwhelm me. Around my 28th week, I chose to hire Keisha due to her empowering and compassionate nature. Leading up to my birth, Keisha provided tailored resources that accommodated my schedule and learning preferences. Her support not only made me feel prepared and strong but also ignited my excitement.
As we approached my due date, unforeseen complications emerged, and I was diagnosed with preeclampsia upon arriving at the hospital for induction. The following 72 hours of labor were challenging. Despite being surrounded by a trusted OBGYN and a supportive team of nurses, Keisha played an indescribable role during that time and beyond. She served as my translator, sounding board, support system, my husband's support system, and my cheerleader. The birth, though both traumatic and beautiful, was made so by her presence, and I am eternally grateful for all she contributed to me and my family. Keisha is an exceptional doula, clearly driven by passion in her work. I cannot express enough praise for this remarkable woman!
