Testimonial for Kay Nakajima CD(DONA), LCCE
We are so thankful for having found Kayoko having her guide us through our journey with our first child. My husband and I moved to Seattle and were originally looking for some help with our new baby after he was born. We found Kayoko through doulamatch.com and based on her prior reviews, decided to contact her regarding her birthing, and after birth services. Kayoko is very responsive and communicative.As my husband and I are first time parents, we honestly did not know anything about the birth process. Kayoko visited us three times in our home for birthing preparation classes. She creates a calm, and comfortable environment during these one on one visits. We felt safe to ask all our silly questions, and try different exercises in our home with Kayoko.
The morning of my contractions, I texted Kayoko right away, and she met us at our hospital once I was through laboring at home. She knew exactly how to set up our room, and what to ask for from the nurses. Our baby was head down but face up (sunny side up) when I arrived at the hospital and she helped us spin our baby into the correct birthing position, face down, head down by guiding me through different positions and stretches.
My labor lasted for 22 hours. Kayoko massaged me, encouraged me, made sure I was eating and drinking and most importantly, helped me control my breathing. I am so thankful we got a doula. My husband would not have known to do any of these things to help me labor even after the classes. She barely took any breaks for herself and prioritized my well being during this time.After our baby was finally born, Kayoko was there to help us take our first family photos and to assist me with breastfeeding.
After we were discharged, Kayoko came to our home to help us clean and help us get climatized with our new baby. We have no reservations, and highly recommend Kayoko. We would without hesitation reach out to her again in the future if we have another baby.
