"I can’t even imagine the birth of my son or the birth of my daughter 4
years later without Kelly’s presence- as my doula for the first and as
my midwife (under supervision) for the second. Her arrival at both events
marked a turning point in my labor where all anxieties melted away and
I got down to the business of birthing without fear. She seemed to
always know exactly what I needed to hear in each moment and exactly
what to do to make me feel relaxed, confident and reassured. I also
feel that her presence was as helpful for my husband as it was for me.
He is extremely supportive, but wasn’t sure exactly what kind of
support I needed while in labor. When Kelly arrived, he easily followed
her lead and became super-husband. Kelly is warm, professional,
knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a lot of fun. I never want to give
birth without her there!"

I feel so lucky to have had Kelly’s assistance. She was exceedingly kind,
competent, and compassionate. She helped to facilitate a fantastic
birth experience.
Thank you for being with us for our son’s birthday. Your presence made all the difference!

In
November, 2005, we welcomed our second child into the world with the
help of Kelly. It was an incredible experience for us and Kelly's help
was invaluable. Her knowledge, confidence and calm demeanor helped
keep us focused and in control throughout the delivery. Kelly
continually mentioned that the changes that Alison
was experiencing were normal and expected. This helped her
tremendously by reassuring her and giving her the confidence to
continue. At the peak of intensity, Kelly helped keep Alison focused
while working with the nurse and doctor to successfully deliver our
baby.
From
a spouse's point of view, Kelly's input was comforting and supporting.
She provided insight and confidence that I couldn't. Her presence was
reassuring and her knowledge was priceless.
Having
experienced delivery both with and without a doula, we both agree that
having one present was invaluable for us. We highly recommend Kelly
and would not hesitate to work with her again.
