Testimonial for Kalea Harrison
Kalea was an incredible resource for us and I don't think I could have stuck to my birth plan without her. To begin, after my first meeting with her I knew she was someone I would want to have around during labor. She is upbeat and positive and has an attitude that energizes everyone around her. Many times during the labor her energy kept me going. Additionally I had a few surprises (what labor doesn't!?) and Kalea's medical knowledge kept us calm and really helped us make decisions and feel secure with those choices. For my husband and I it was invaluable having a doula that had also been a labor and delivery nurse because we wanted someone to help us interrupt what the midwives and nurses were telling us. Mostly, my labor was long and difficult, not just for me but for Kalea and my hsuband as well! I needed a lot of back pressure and both of them were exhausted by the end. Kalea kept up her amazing energy through the whole labor, never abondoning me for a moment. She must have been exhausted, after sleeping on the floor of the hospital room with me the night before, but she never let it show. Over-all I would highly recommend Kalea and will definitely be asking her to be my doula for my next birth!
