Testimonial from Andrea

February 2022

Before meeting Kassie I didn’t even know what a doula was or why it was important. I can now say I not only gained a wonderful doula to guide me through my birth but a genuine, warm friend.
From the get go I vibed with Kassie—she was organized, polite, believed in evidence-based birth practices, and was clearly very passionate about her work.

My labor was a long one, it was supposed to be at home with my midwife practice, doula, and husband. However due to high blood pressure I had to transfer to a hospital and change my birth plan pretty quickly. I had no bag packed, was contracting, and there was a snowstorm outside. Kassie came out to meet me before going to the hospital. The moment she stepped in the door I started to contract and she rushed over to me to give me a hip compress for pain relief. It was amazing. Throughout the birth and even after Kassie has made me feel cared for. Considering the very hands off approach of the hospital midwives during my labor, I would have felt lost without her. She not only guided me through the painful and uncomfortable moments but also the mentally hard ones during and even after birth when I was experiencing doubts and the postpartum blues.

I couldn’t recommend her more highly. With Kassie you will get a wonderful professional and a truly authentic friend.
