What clients and healthcare professionals say about my doula services...
From my clients...
"Brett and I just wanted to say thank you so much! You were absolutely indispensable during Ben's labor and delivery. You made me feel safe and supported through some really trying times. Working with you was one of the best decisions we could have made!"
~Andrea & Brett, Kansas City, Missouri
"I would consider Kay not only my doula, but also a friend. She has gone above and beyond the expectations I had of the role of a doula. During the birth of course, but before that time, she helped prepare us as well. And after, she has continued to be an invaluable resource to us. Thanks, Kay! You're the best!"
~Kendy & Dustin, Kansas City, Missouri
"I truly believe-given the length of my labor and prior experience-that my VBAC would not have been possible without Kay's support. Having someone knowledgeable and calm through the whole process put us at ease, and helped us focus through a long and difficult labor. She did an excellent job alternating with George in applying pressure and other assisting tasks, allowing him to participate and to rest when necessary. Kay was a solid rock, holding everything together, helping us through this amazing process. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
~Emily & George, Lee's Summit, Missouri
"Kay was great with answering questions and putting my mind at ease. I truly think that her help in preparing for the labor and birth before hand and her encouragement to educate myself helped me feel confident in my abilities. When I went in to labor, I felt relaxed and calm. Although the birth experience was fairly short, it was not nearly as stressful as it would have been without someone knowledgeable being there on our behalf."
~Beckie & Kyle, Grain Valley, Missouri
"I really appreciate Kay's dedication to her own education. I was reassured by the fact that my doula was knowledgeable. Her compassion and servanthood also stood out to me. Kay was willing to be open about her life in order to build trust with us. We really appreciated that."
~Kathy & Aaron, Overland Park, Kansas
"Kay is wonderful! When she called frequently during the pregnancy to see how I was doing, it helped keep me from becoming too overwhelmed with getting ready for my baby. Having her with me during labor and delivery is something I will always be beyond thankful for. She was a great support and I couldn't have gotten through this without her!"
~Jenny, Prairie Village, Kansas
"We are so thankful for Kay and her role in helping us have the birth we desired. She was so patient answering all our questions before and after birth, along with giving us fantastic support during labor. She was a total blessing! We couldn't have done it without her!"
