Testimonial for Kizzy Bailey CD(DONA), CPD, CVD(TVL), CLE, PAILAdvocate

From the moment I met with Kizzy, I felt assured and confident that she would be the perfect match for my husband and I. She shared her knowledge and experience in an approachable, thoughtful, and gentle way, but even more than that, she listened intently to our preferences and wishes to ensure that her approach to her work with us was responsive to the type of experience we were hoping for. Her questions not only allowed her to understand what we wanted out of our birth experience, but it also gave me food for thought and allowed me to reflect on what I really wanted, and make informed decisions ahead of time.

Simply stated, my husband and I agree emphatically that we do not know how we would have made it through labor and delivery without Kizzy! From the moment she arrived, she jumped right into action to support and guide me through difficult contractions, and equally important, to guide my husband through his support of me as well. The throes of labor and intense contractions can make it difficult for the laboring partner to communicate their needs to their support person, and having Kizzy there helped cut through all of the chaos and provide the support through touch herself, while helping guide my husband through it as well. As can often happen, our L&D threw us several unexpected curveballs. Having Kizzy with us as both a sounding board for weighing options and making decisions, and a calming source of reassurance made all the difference during those intense moments of uncertainty. It’s hard to imagine how we would have navigated it without her! As can often happen, our L&D threw us several unexpected curveballs.
