Testimonial from Jamie

May 2022

We believe our positive birth experience was a direct result of having Kassie as our doula. She was an amazing source of information, support, and reassurance throughout the labor process as well as during my third trimester and postpartum. Her presence was both upbeat and light hearted as well as calming and comforting.

Kassie was right there with us through the whole process. She checked in with me in the final weeks of my pregnancy to answer any questions and provided a ton of resources to help us make decisions leading up to labor. Once labor started, she guided us through the process and helped us advocate for ourselves with the hospital staff. Having her there eased the pressure on my partner to know what to do in different circumstances. This allowed him to play a constant emotional support role versus also trying to communicate with hospital staff, help move me in different positions, ask questions, etc.

After hours of laboring, we found out our baby wasn’t in the ideal position for pushing, Kassie had the knowledge and experience to get me into different positions to help move the baby in the correct position for delivery. Had she not been there, the nurses would have been able to help but with much less consistency and individual support which could have resulted in more interventions.

Having a doula made all the difference in our birth experience and Kassie was the perfect fit for us, would 100% recommend working with her!
