Aubrey H.’s Birth Testimonial

I cannot even begin to express fully my gratitude and appreciation for Katie as a doula. Peaceful doula is exactly the vibe she gives! I have always known about doulas etc. And they have volunteer ones at hospital births for many but I was new to hiring one separately on my own. I was going through some major life events/tragedies on top of being pregnant, and I was up late one night just searching and happen to stumble upon her business and sent a message on a whim. She pursued me back and made the exchange SO simple and easy. She answered all my questions and explained the process and anything I was uneducated/unaware of.

Because of her, I was able to switch from the hospital birth setting and care that I was not feeling well at with midwives who just seem like they take that title but are essentially basic OBs that don't truly follow natural pregnancy birth like they claim. She guided me to birth centers that were within my desired expectations and out of them was able to find my dream birth center where I had the water birth I always wanted with excellent environment and staff.

Even with her busy schedule, she was always responsive and personable and didn't make me feel like I was asking too much or bothering her. I felt absolutely comfortable and clear minded telling her what I wanted and she delivered exactly that! She was amazing support during labor and delivery (and even afterwards during recovery)  and helped me progress just how I wanted to with no stalls in labor like I had my first hospital birth. My birth center I chose was amazing, but Katie being there was the icing on top and I definitely wouldn't have been as happy if I didn't have her there. It was truly meant to be! Thank you so much Katie and I'll recommend you whenever the topic comes up!
