Every Family Deserves Support from the Very Start, WithinReach Blog
“Kate made me feel seen, heard, informed, and supported every step of the way. She had an incredible ability to explain what was happening, answer my questions, remind me of my options, and help me make decisions that felt right for me. Just knowing she was in the room gave me a level of peace that is hard to put into words. I never questioned whether she would speak up if something didn't feel right because she had already earned my trust long before labor began”.
Kind Words From Families I Have Served
“She served me in a way that I will never forget and will always be a special part of my story, my family's story and, most importantly Courage’s story. We could not, I could not have done this without Kate, and I would never have another baby without her special care.”
"It was even Kate's leg that I gripped while I roared my baby into the world, my first unmedicated birth. I describe having Kate there as an extra, needed crutch. One crutch may work, but two is better. I am so glad she was there to support my family. In fact, we have remained friends years later! Since, she has become a mom herself and understands the highs and the lows of pregnancy and postpartum. I, no doubt, would trust her again for doula support, whether it be pregnancy or postpartum."
“She was the first person to make my baby smile at just a few weeks old and when she brought dinner to me she right in to cook and she even started doing dishes. I felt very taken care of with Kate. I'd recommend her to anyone and everyone! She is made to be a doula!”
"Kate was the VERY best decision I could have made for my birth. She brought such a beautiful care and spirit to the room. She was so hands on, so wise in her approach to labor, so passionate and so connected to me and my needs."
