"Kathryn was our doula for the birth of our second son. I honestly believe I was able to have the natural birth I had hoped for because of her support and guidance. She was a peaceful, positive presence and was able to read the situation to determine how far along we were and step in when needed to guide the birth in the direction of the plan I had dreamed up and hoped for. Not all aspects of the birth went according to what I had wanted, but Kathryn was armed with the information I needed to make a good decision and encouraging words to give me the assurance I needed. I highly recommend her services to anyone considering a doula. She is extremely professional, dependable and considerate. It's not everyday you meet someone who is so gifted and is operating in what they were made to do! She is a gift to all who have the opportunity to work with her." Kaylee
"Kathryn was the doula for the birth of our sweet baby girl Emma. She’s not only one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, but the passion, compassion and calm she brought to our birth experience and that you can see as she prepared to serve our growing family was incredible. Our birth started at the birth center, and resulted in a transfer to the hospital. Kathryn was there to support us during all 30+ hours of the experience, not to mention all the time she invested in us before and after Emma’s birth. She helped us understand every step of the way what was happening and gave us information we needed to make solid, informed decisions. My husband added that the best part of having Kathryn there was that she was so intuitive. She knew exactly when to step in if he needed a break, he didn’t even have to ask. And he didn’t have to feel guilty taking a break, he knew I’d have the support I needed. You can’t go wrong inviting Kathryn onto your Birth team- she will quickly and easily become a loved member of your family, and hold a special place in your heart!" Breanna
"As a first-time mom, I knew I wanted a doula. The labor and delivery nurses are wonderful but there is only so much they can do. Having Kathryn as a doula with my husband and me the entire time was essential to my well-being. Kathryn has the skills and and instincts to provide the help and support that I couldn't verbalize and that were exactly what I needed. From our first meetings Kathryn was asking questions to learn about me and then used that information with her strong, quiet compassion to assist when the day came. From the information about the process of delivery, to suggestions for managing contractions, and to the peaceful presence, Kathryn was an invaluable part of our delivery." Karen
"Words can't express the amount of gratitude I have for Katie and her services. Everything about my second birth was perfect - and she was with me the entire time. Even my husband agrees that it was one of the biggest blessings during that time of our life. Thank you Katie for your calming presence, prayers, and support to help make Hailey's birth experience so amazing!!" Ashley
"Kathryn attended the birth of my first child and was such a peaceful calming presence from the months prior to the months following the birth and every single bit in between. She was accessible any time I needed her and answered all of my questions no matter how silly. I will absolutely have her there for my next child whenever that may be." Krystal
"From our first meeting with Kathryn, I felt so much calmer and stronger about my birth. During labor, just knowing she was in the room had a confidence-building effect. My husband adds, she has a calming presence and clearly cares deeply about the people she's helping. We are so happy she became part of our lives!" Amanda
"Katie was our doula for our 3rd child. I wouldn't have changed anything about my birthing experience. She was calm, very helpful, listened to everything that not just I wanted but also my husband. She was able to explain things that the nurses were talking about and help us stick to a birth plan that we wanted. She came and checked in on us after we were home and was able to give advice and help with breastfeeding as well. We had a great experience with Katie." Lauren
"Katie, you made my daughter's birth such a precious, peaceful, and joy-saturated experience...words cannot express how grateful I am for your empowerment, compassion, and knowledge. My heart is full when I remember the redemptive journey of her birth and your key role in it. Thank you!" Abby
"When we found out we were pregnant with our first child, I began researching the options for my pregnancy and delivery. It was in my heart to have a natural, unmedicated birth, which I believed would be best for our baby and myself. Birth statistics and the correlation with doula care was apparent, with a doula, women generally have shorter labors, less need for pain medication, less chance of needing a C-section, increase success and support in breastfeeding, etc. I was blessed to have all these be true for my birth and believe much of it was because of the assistance of Kathryn. After stumbling onto Kathryn’s website, I instantly had a feeling that she was who we would need with us for our birth. When we first met her, it was apparent of how kind, respectful and compassionate of a being she is. We enjoyed our visits and she helped us create a plan for birth, discuss our strengths and fears, and create a plan for whatever may happen during our birth. When it came to delivery, we went into labor naturally and called Kathryn to notify her. Our labor progressed incredibly fast, she arrived quickly and within 3 hours of her arrival, our baby was born! I will always remember her calming spirit and compassion as I was experiencing labor for the first time. I will not forget her praying over me and her assistance with the pain was beyond appreciated. My husband and I are so thankful for her presence at our birth. We couldn’t have the experience that we did without Kathryn’s guidance through the birth process. Her wisdom and knowledge were appreciated beyond belief. We were so blessed and will have her as a doula for our future deliveries!" Shelby
"Amazingly sweet and personal care, all while being the utmost professional. She’s extremely well educated and helps you make informed decisions, while never passing judgement. It was like having another family member in the labor and delivery room! It feels like we couldn’t have done it without her." Melissa
