Testimonial for Kizzy Bailey CD(DONA), CPD, CVD(TVL), CLE, PAILAdvocate
Kizzy was an absolute gift to our family from pregnancy through the first three months of our little one's life. Having a doula for both birth and postpartum support was a non-negotiable for me as we planned to welcome a new baby. With family far away, we knew we would need someone on hand to be a reassuring, calming and supportive presence. We wanted someone who we knew could help us be heard, wouldn't brush off my concerns of being medically pigeon-holed as a plus size mother with additional mental health considerations, and who would support our whole family (in addition to my husband and I, my younger brother is also a member of our in-home family) - and Kizzy absolutely met all of those needs and more. She answered any question we ever had (or helped us seek professionals when needed), was thoughtful beyond measure, and seemed like a family friend we'd known forever from the moment we met her. Kizzy rolled with last minute concerns during my pregnancy, advocated for me during a long hospital labor and birth, and continued being endlessly flexible as we navigated the unexpected medical needs of our baby during their first few weeks of life. Once we were home it felt like Kizzy just poured open-hearted, honest and gentle caring and reassurance into our lives - in addition to a heavy dose of baby laundry folding, hydration reminding, dish washing, infant soothing and new mom listening. Every nap and long shower I had for the first few months of my baby's life was thanks to Kizzy. Kizzy was also endlessly patient with our very anxious (and loud!) lab Abby who felt the need to constantly remind us all that there was someone different in the house holding her baby. Broadly - I'll strongly advocate to anyone who asks that they should seek birth and postpartum doula support. Specifically and wholeheartedly, I would advocate for them choosing Kizzy to come with them on their journey.
