It was such a joy to work with Kim during my pregnancy and labor. We originally met when I began attending her prenatal yoga classes, and she had such a welcoming, calm presence that I knew she would be an excellent doula. As we began to work together, I appreciated how she brought her specific knowledge to create personalized support for me. With aromatherapy, we explored which scents were most able to calm and ground me. We also explored different yoga stretches and routines that helped keep me flexible and strong, preparing my body for labor.
I ended up having prodromal labor for two weeks before giving birth, and it was challenging physically and mentally. During this time, Kim was a huge support, offering knowledge of labor as well as compassionate encouragement. When true labor finally began, I felt so lucky to have Kim on my team! Throughout the birthing experience, she kept a calm and watchful eye on my progress, paying attention to small details that made a big difference, such as warm blankets, snacks, and where I was holding tension in my body. She additionally had a lovely way of offering suggestions while staying open and humble to my evolving needs.
Overall, Kim offered a calm, confident, focused presence as well as knowledge of the birth process and birthing techniques, which helped me to have a more positive and empowering birth experience. I highly recommend her to any expectant parent seeking compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive doula care.
