Testimonial for Catherine Young
Catherine is amazing! She's supported me through the births of both of my children. She was the backup doula with my first, and even though we met for the first time at the hospital as I was in the midst of a long 26-hour labor, she instantly put me at ease and was an integral part of making my goals for a low-intervention, unmedicated hospital birth possible. She was kind, caring, and supportive; offering advice and suggestions but never in a way that felt pushy. I especially loved how she made sure my husband also felt supported - he was more nervous about the birth than I was :). I left my first labor & birth feeling amazing and powerful, which is part of the reason why I just had my second baby last month and am now a mom to two under two! When I found out I was pregnant with my second, I knew I wanted Catherine to support us through this birth as well. Catherine was engaged and helpful throughout my pregnancy - regularly checking in and offering support & resources, especially when I went a week overdue. Her warm and supportive presence throughout my labor was so reassuring and helped me stay in the zone. Thankfully, everything went smoothly but I know if there had been any issues, Catherine would be an excellent advocate as she had a great rapport with all of the nurses and doctors. If we end up having another child, Catherine will be one of my first calls after that positive pregnancy test :)
