Testimonial for Katie Baxter
I used Katie for both my children's births. My son was born in 2019; however, he came early while we were out of town. Katie was able to provide exceptional guidance and care from afar, but I knew with the birth of my second child I wanted to have Katie with me in-person to get the full range of her expertise.
From the beginning of our contract, Katie was fantastic to work with. She's a wealth of information and knowledge, and I was able to start texting her questions and get advice and recommendations immediately. She also goes above and beyond for her clients: My daughter came unexpectedly quickly a full month ahead of schedule, and we called Katie while we were on our way to the hospital. She made it over to GW in record time, even though she had *just* finished with another client at another hospital. Once my daughter had arrived and we were settled, she immediately went to another client who was laboring at yet another hospital.
During my labor Katie's guidance and comfort helped me to stay calm and understand everything that was going on, even through unmedicated contractions. She was able to help my husband find the best way to support me and navigate the curveballs that came our way. She is a calming presence in the delivery room and knows how to work seamlessly with the medical staff to get you across the finish line.
Once we were home, Katie again provided a wealth of support and information. She made sure that we had a system in place for our bottles and laundry, helped my husband get organized, and provided guidance and advice as I navigated the early days of postpartum.
You can't go wrong with Katie as your doula!
