Testimonial for Kaylen Ardiles Cervera
We had the extremely good fortune to connect with Kaylen about 8 months into our pregnancy journey and I am so grateful that we found her. I knew I wanted Kaylen as my doula because of the depth of her practical experience (300+ deliveries), her expertise in early child development and her warm and caring demeanor.We chose to work with Kaylen both as our birthing doula, and then for follow-up postnatal support. Prior to our delivery, Kaylen gave us detailed information about our birthing options, answered our myriad of questions, and helped us develop a birthing plan. On the day of the delivery, nothing went to plan and I was so grateful to have Kaylen by my side as she provided me a strong focal point and kept me going through a very challenging delivery. I especially appreciated the gentleness and care she showed both me and my partner at a particularly vulnerable time; the level of trust I have in her is enormous.After the birth of our son, Kaylen provided additional postnatal support which was invaluable. She helped educate us both on how to care for our child and tackle many of the new challenges we found overwhelming, including how to use my breast pump and fitting us in our (complex!) baby carriers. We also realized that we needed time out on our own in those early weeks and felt extremely comfortable leaving our newborn with Kaylen (my husband calls her the baby whisperer). It's easy to underestimate the value and necessity of finding someone you trust to handle your little one in those early days so you can get a break and some fresh air. Kaylen also provided support in the kitchen, helping me focus on nutrients and meals -- that she cooked and cooked well!-- to help me get back into shape and replace a lot of the nutrients and minerals I'd lost during delivery.We highly recommend working with Kaylen. If you're looking for someone with a deep level of practical experience, knowledge and kindness, Kaylen is the doula for you!
