Testimonial from Michelle

October 2021

Kassie is hands-down the most compassionate doula you can find. She exudes light and kindness, and stays calm during any scenario that might come up. Choosing Kassie to be your birth doula is the best investment you can make - she's non-judgmental, compassionate, and supportive through all of the exciting, anxious, and/or challenging moments!

My son is now 1.5 years old, but we STILL talk about how thankful we are that we hired Kassie to be part of our birth team. Throughout pregnancy, Kassie did so much to help us prepare for birth - providing resources, information, referrals to other providers, and a calm presence while validating our concerns. It was really reassuring to know that I'd have continuous support throughout labor, and my husband benefited from having someone help teach him what birth support might look like. If he ever needed to take a break, he was able to know that I was getting the support I needed, too.

When my water broke, I called Kassie first (even before I woke up my husband!) and she was so kind and calming, despite my 3am nervous energy! At the hospital, she helped with position changes, nourishment, emotional support, and being a collaborative partner with the nurses and OBGYN. I ended up having several complications, which made Kassie's presence even more important. She helped keep us calm during scary situations, decoded medical jargon for us, and helped reassure us when birth plans inevitably changed. My husband still tears up thinking about the emotional support he received during really critical parts of the birth.

After the birth, we had a lot to process, so the postpartum visit meant so much to us. Kassie was really generous with her time as we talked through it and she supported us emotionally. We really could not have done it without her.
