Testimonial for Katy Carter
Katy was an amazing support before, during, and after the birth of our baby in July 2024. Choosing her as our doula was hands-down the most valuable decision I made in preparing to give birth for the first time.
From our first meeting, Katy met me where I was at: excited to become a mom, not enjoying being pregnant, and low-key scared to give birth. She helped me & my partner focus on what we each could do to prepare for the birth we planned, then supported us when plans changed due to multiple non-baby-related crises in the final weeks of the pregnancy. During my induction, Katy was an absolute MVP; providing strategies to keep me comfortable, keeping everyone rested and hydrated, helping me shift positions through a rock-solid epidural to get baby to rotate from OP to OA at the last minute, and keeping our spirits and energy up when pushing went into the wee hours.
What exceeded my expectations most was how Katy's work shifted my entire experience of pregnancy and birth. While I expected to be transformed by this process, I never expected to feel empowered in it. Katy's knowledge made the overwhelm manageable, her enthusiasm made the tedious bits more enjoyable, and her care made the painful parts infinitely more comfortable. I am deeply grateful for her guidance through our first birth, and strongly recommend her to anyone navigating this process.
