Testimonial for Kristin Osolin
Words cannot fully express our gratitude for Kristin's support throughout our birth journey. While our experience differed greatly from our original "plan," Kristin's unwavering guidance made us feel empowered and supported every step of the way. From our first meeting, Kristin's warm demeanor and wealth of knowledge put us at ease. She took the time to understand our wishes, while also helping us prepare for various scenarios that might arise. Her balanced approach – neither pushing an agenda nor judging our choices – created a foundation of trust that proved invaluable when circumstances changed. When our plan needed to shift, Kristin's steady presence was our anchor. She helped us navigate decisions with clarity and confidence, translating complex information into understandable terms and ensuring our voices were heard. Her extensive knowledge of comfort measures and positioning techniques proved invaluable. What truly sets Kristin apart is her remarkable ability to read the room, and provide exactly what's needed in any moment – whether that's physical support, emotional encouragement, or clarifying details with medical staff. She seamlessly balanced supporting both my partner and me, ensuring we felt like a united team throughout the experience. Even when our path diverged significantly from our original plan, she helped us see how each decision was empowering and right for our unique situation. Kristin's support extended beyond just the birth itself. Her postpartum follow-up showed genuine care for our well-being and helped us process our experience. She celebrated our strength while acknowledging our feelings about the unexpected turns in our journey. For anyone seeking a doula, we cannot recommend Kristin highly enough. She exemplifies what it means to be truly "there" for her clients. With her support, our birth story has became a powerful experience that we look back on with pride and gratitude.
