Testimonial for Kathie Phillips
Kathy actually came in at the (relative) last minute for me as my doula’s backup doula and we hit it off right away. She helped me process a lot of my anxiety and fear around induction (I went 16 days overdue). I was at the hospital for two days waiting for labor to start in earnest. Kathy texted regularly to check in and offer her support. While she was there she stayed up all night helping me through labor and she just kept coming up with new ideas to try. The guided breathing was my favorite. And I can’t tell you how many times she helped me roll over and readjust the pillows. She also gave me a gorgeous labor comb that smells amazing. She worked so well with my husband. Labor stalled out and I couldn’t keep anything down, so I ended up electing for a cesarean. She wasn’t able to stay with us after that but kept checking in. And postpartum she helped me through my milk supply issues as I struggled to breastfeed. This is my first baby, and I felt like everything was going wrong, but Kathy was there every step of the way.
