Testimonial from Izabela

July 2021

Kassie was recommended to us by Chicago Family Picnic where we took birth education classes.We originally did not plan to have a doula present for the birth of our first baby, but after attending birthing classes felt that it would be helpful to have someone in the room who had a better understanding of labor and delivery process than we did. We interviewed four doulas and ultimately went with Kassie because we loved her down to earth approach, experience, and the range of services she offered before, during, and after the birth. Looking back, hiring a doula and choosing Kassie was definitely the right decision and 100% worth the money spent. Kassie is very approachable, easy to talk to, and definitely knowledgeable. Having her in the hospital with us was a huge help and afterwards several of the nurses commented how great our doula was. Something I did not realize is how much of a difference it would make to have someone available to us for postpartum support. As a first time parent I was mostly worried about giving birth, and did not think much further, but having Kassie's help with breastfeeding and taking care of our newborn in the hours, days, and weeks after the delivery was invaluable and gave me the confidence and peace of mind I otherwise would not have had. Highly recommend!
