Testimonial from Jenny

June 2021

Kassie stepped in for us in the middle of a tough labor, and she was outstanding. She brought such positive energy into the room at a moment when our birth experience had strayed pretty far from what we had hoped. Kassie offered amazing support for coping with the epidural--she helped me change positions in bed, gave my husband and me eye masks so that we could rest, and kept us encouraged when we were stuck at 9.5 centimeters. She worked really well with our nurses and tactfully made suggestions at the right moment (the peanut ball made everything happen for me, and I am not sure we would have used it without Kassie in the room!) She discreetly took photos for us, including a beautiful one of the sky at the time our son was born. It has become one of our favorites in the collection.

I am so grateful that our original doula chose Kassie as her back up. It was a leap of faith having someone new come in when our original doula was timed out, but we couldn't have picked a better fit ourselves. Her instincts for what support we needed were spot on, and her presence was so kind and positive. With our first doula having left Chicago, we'll go straight to Kassie when it comes time for number two. Thank you, Kassie!
