Testimonials

“From the moment Katie and I had our first prenatal meeting, it felt like we had been friends for years. As we met a few more times leading up to the delivery of my first daughter, Katie made me feel encouraged, confident, and at peace with the birth plan she’d helped me think through and gave me guidance and education on topics of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum with which I was unfamiliar. She was so knowledgeable and was able to answer the (many) questions I had.

She was my constant source of calm, reassurance, and encouragement during a very quick and somewhat chaotic delivery. My labor process did not look like what we had planned, but she was always ready to support me in any decision I made, and she was such an invaluable comfort for both me and my husband. It was so nice feeling like we had someone there who was there solely for us and someone who could advocate for us with only our best interests in mind; I trusted her completely.

Katie was, without a doubt, meant to be a doula, and I cannot recommend her enough. My husband and I are so immensely grateful for her and will 100% be hiring her again for any future births.”

“Working with Katie was one of the best decisions we made during our pregnancy journey. This was our second pregnancy/birth experience - my first experience did not go quite as I had hoped, which I mostly believed was simply because I was not well educated in the pros and cons of all my options. I took a birth class during both pregnancies, which was certainly valuable; however, having a doula helped with learning about how I could achieve the birth experience I hoped to have. From the very first meeting, she brought such a calming, supportive presence and made us feel heard, empowered, and prepared. Her knowledge, compassion, and genuine care helped instill the confidence we needed for this experience.

Katie was by our side every step of the way. She ensured that we got all the information prior to the birth, despite seeking her out very late in the pregnancy, and helped us build a birth plan that truly reflected our wishes. During labor, she was a grounding force. She helped guide my husband in ways to support me, while also stepping in herself. Katie was my voice in the hospital by advocating for my birth plan so that I could focus on laboring, while always ensuring that I had the opportunity to change my mind if desired. Her soothing voice, gentle coaching, and hands-on support gave me the strength to trust my body and the process. My husband also felt included and guided, which made the entire experience feel more connected. Katie continued to check in after we went home as well to ensure all was going well and made sure we knew we could reach out to her whenever we needed. 

Katie was such an incredible and valuable addition to our birth experience. We are forever grateful for her presence during such an important time in our lives. If I were to do it all again, I wouldn't hesitate to ask Katie to be our doula. “
