Testimonial from Orr & Gabe

November 2022

TLDR; Kassie is the best.

We love Kassie so much and cannot recommend her highly enough! 

Kassie joined us for our second birth. It was a powerful and good experience, and much easier than the first one. We think this is because we made better decisions, with much thanks to Kassie. She brought a rich experience that was very effective in helping us make the right decisions for us. 

She is a great listener and had excellent advice to us in the lead up to birth. She talked us through different exercises and gave specific pointers which really helped in the days leading up to the main day. One of the things that she recommended was an induction method when I was approaching 41 weeks. It brought me closer to where I needed to be, and made everything else go smoother.

On the day of the birth, Kassie was totally present and made a huge difference in lots of ways big and small at the hospital. The hospital itself was quite busy, but Kassie made it so that we always felt like we had a partner with us with a deep intuitive sense of how things go based on an immense amount of real world experience. Kassie would frequently pick up on cues and say the midwives are going to notice this signal and it’s great because we are moving to the next stage! And sure enough, the midwives would show up minutes later, ready for the next steps.

Birth is such a personal experience and Kassie really listened to what was important to us. We think anyone would be lucky to have her as their doula.
