Testimonial for Kathie Sonner
I am extremely grateful that I was able to use Kathie's doula services for my first pregnancy and home birth. My husband, mom and I all agree that Kathie brings such a warm, loving presence into the pregnancy and birthing space. We all clicked with her quickly. If you are more natural-minded, Kathie is a wonderful resource for education about various decisions that all mothers need to make in preparation for birth and parenting.
As soon as Kathie entered my home while I was in labor, she was hands on to help reduce my pain by providing massage, suggesting great positions changes/movements, and gently giving me much encouragement. For many hours she stayed hands on with me, working on my hips and back to reduce pain. Even in the midst of labor, I was impressed by her physical endurance. She encouraged both my mom and husband to massage me also, so they could assist in my pain reduction as well. Both of them could not say enough about how thankful they were for her help during my labor. Kathie also was able to gently get my baby to latch on both breasts after the birth. My son ended up needing to go to the NICU that night, and while everyone was getting ready to go, and I was unable to sit up, Kathie calmly and gently dressing my baby for the first time. It was so reassuring to see him in such loving, gentle hands.
The takeaway- I highly recommend Kathie as a doula for your upcoming pregnancy/birth. We will definitely be using her services again in the future :)
