Doulas are with you for the crazy ride

A little feedback from some
​birth doula clients

Being a birth doula is more than just a profession; it's a privilege to be invited into the intimate journey of pregnancy, labour and postpartum by families seeking support and guidance. 

When the time came for labour, I was honoured to stand by their side, supporting them in their chosen birth plan and encouraging them both to be actively involved in the process. Witnessing their strength and resilience was awe-inspiring, and I felt privileged to play a small part in their journey to welcoming their little man into the world.

Working with Kelly offered my husband and I a fully supported prenatal planning, labour, and postnatal experience. Kelly made herself available for us with minimal notice through several unexpected hurdles of our journey. During labour, she followed our requests of offering ideas that empowered my husband to support me throughout the experience and even staying afterwards to spoon feed me a meal while I did my first breastfeed.

When my husband went back to work and I started to really struggle from minimal sleep, Kelly brought over groceries and allowed me to go take a shower and a nap while she strapped my baby to her chest, cooked us a meal, and did our laundry! The postnatal visits helped breathe a bit of life back into an exhausted mama!

We would recommend Kelly for her calming presence through a wild experience! 

Thank you for being apart of our crazy ride!
