Doula/Labor Assistant Testimonials
Friday, 29 January 2010 13:25

Kate was beyond helpful & supportive to my husband and I during our labor.  She used her techniques in massage to help me relax and stay focused.  She was helpful in instructing my husband to help me with different positions during labor, and other pain management techniques.  She remained completely calm throughout an especially long labor – day.  She let the nurses, doctor and midwife do their job without unnecessarily intervening.  She reminded me of my birth plan, and helped me speak up for myself.  I will recommend hiring Kate to other women who wish to use a doula.
