Testimonial from Kat

Let me not bury the lead here ... if you are reading this and debating hiring Kassie as your doula, do it!  She is amazing and was a bright spot in my birth story.

We hired Kassie as our doula kind of late in the game (36 weeks).  I wasn't convinced I 'needed' a doula - as I didn't have a birth plan I felt super strongly about, I just wanted to meet my daughter ASAP with as little pain to her or me as possible.  However, as the weeks ticked by I grew more and more nervous that my body wouldn't know what to do and I started to feel a little panicky, so I decided to call in some reinforcements into the labor process in the form of a doula.  I only interviewed one - and it was Kassie and it was a no-brainer.  

She 'normalized' so many worries I had with her easy demeanor.  You can tell she is incredibly knowledgable, but is able to relate that knowledge in a kind, compassionate, light-hearted way.  She really feels like an old friend - which is exactly who you want holding your leg in one of the biggest moments of your life.  Kassie was a friendly face in my delivery room and was incredibly helpful throughout.  I think that was the biggest thing I underestimated the importance of, the helpfulness BEFORE the pushing process.  Because she had been through many births prior to mine, she anticipated my needs before I even know what I wanted.  This took me pleasantly by surprise - and honestly probably helped my husband quite a bit as well.  

Overall - 10 out of 10, would recommend!  Kassie is wonderful!
