I reached out to Kaitlyn for a consultation before we even announced our pregnancy. I had 2 previous births but this was our 1st experience with a doula. I wanted a peaceful and calm birth with our surprise baby #3. Kaitlyn is so knowledgeable and confident but also so sweet and caring. She checked in with me throughout the pregnancy and offered tips to help with all my complaints like morning sickness and aches and pains. I loved our prenatal meetings where she had my husband and I practice different labor positions and breathing, discuss goals, and talked about different comfort measures. Those were so helpful! When I went into labor, she was ready and waiting for us. She came prepared and jumped right in. She has a natural comforting presence and was able to suggest different positions and measures without being pushy or interrupting the natural flow of things. She was a blessing to my husband as well. She gave him different suggestions to support me during contractions. Toward the end when things were really intense, I have the most beautiful memories of my husband holding my hands and encouraging me bc she was doing all the hard behind-the scenes things like counter pressure and well timed reminders about controlling my breathing or relaxing my body. Because of her support, I was able to have a beautiful, peaceful water birth. I cannot imagine doing it without her and would without a doubt choose her again.
