My husband and I participated in birthing classes where we had the opportunity to meet Kim. I was super excited when Kim agreed to be our doula, especially because I knew I wanted a natural childbirth experience like I had with my first. We were so excited to call her when I went into labor. She met us at the hospital and was truly a Godsend. Because of her background as a massage therapist she was able to help with pressure points and massage during an extremely long and hard labor. She was there to support my husband and take over when he needed a break during the 18 hours that I was in labor. She provided us with physical, emotional and spiritual support as we made tough decisions that ultimately had us deviate from our original birth plan. We could not have had the positive birth experience that we did without her help. I am forever grateful that she was there as we welcomed our baby boy into the world. And the best part is that we created a lifelong friendship. — MM https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61cb47cf1478454833a1fb46/afe7a764-95bf-4bb8-9a3a-899ef53d78d0/About+%7C+Birth-Boot-Camp-Birth-Doula-Postpartum-Doula-Prenatal-Doula-Fort-Worth-Texas-Birthly Birth Doula Testimonials - Kim was instrumental in the birth of both of my sweet babies! I knew when I got pregnant with my first that I wanted to utilize a doula during my birth. After taking a birth boot camp class I realized even more how meaningful and beneficial it would be to have a doula. We found Kim and quickly got on to her books before she filled up. When I went into labor my husband called her and she met us at the hospital. During my entire labor she reminded me to control my breathing and to relax my jaw, helped me move into new positions the most comfortable way possible, and spoke positive affirmations over me through each contraction. All while helping my body relax through massage techniques and counter pressure. Helping to keep me calm and focused through the duration of my birth was very important and meaningful to me! My husband also learned lots of important things he could do to help me be comfortable! When I found out I was pregnant with my second she was one of the first phone calls I made it to ensure I was on her books for the month the baby was due. Although she couldn't be there for the entire birth, she was there for the first half and again helped by applying counter-pressure, trying different positions and keeping me calm as different stressors presented themselves. During both births she knew my birth plan from front to back and was able to answer questions the nurses were asking so I didn't have to worry about that and I could stay in my labor brain. I didn't realize how thankful I was for that until I looked back! I would (and do) recommend her to every pregnant Mama! She is so worth the investment to bring your babe earthside! Can't wait for baby #3 so we can do it all over again — HS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61cb47cf1478454833a1fb46/8393b8bd-2e77-4842-9b7b-39842040f2dd/About+%7C+Birth-Boot-Camp-Birth-Doula-Postpartum-Doula-Prenatal-Doula-Fort-Worth-Texas-Birthly Birth Doula Testimonials - My husband and I are gearing up to have our second baby with Kim's wonderful help as our doula! After the 34-hour labor that we went through for my first baby, my husband and I couldn't imagine trying to do another without Kim. She was there for us in all the ways we needed. She met with us several times before the birth and helped us prepare our ideal birth plan so that we could feel as ready as possible for the big event. She responded immediately when I started to notice my first contractions the night I went into labor, and she advised us on when to call our midwife and when to head to the hospital. She met us in the parking lot of the hospital carrying her bag of tricks, including her diffuser, speaker system, and birth ball. She guided us through the long emergency room check-in process, and once we were settled in our room, Kim was the perfect advocate and comfort as my husband and I experienced this whole process for the first time. I will never forget the hours Kim spent massaging my lower back with her skilled therapeutic touch through each contraction. Since I spent the first 30 hours of labor without any pain medication, those massages were an absolute life-saver! I'm actually not sure how she mustered the endurance and strength that must have taken! When my labor progression started to slow down, Kim skillfully used a combination of acupressure massage and essential oil to help get me back on track and keep things moving. In the end, we did have to abandon our original natural birth plan, and Kim was really helpful in supporting us to make that difficult decision. Giving birth is obviously a physical process, but it is also an extremely emotional one, and having a knowledgeable, assertive, compassionate person like Kim there to help us through it was a most wonderful addition to our birth story and our overall peace of mind! Now we have a beautiful little girl and a second daughter on the way! We are all hopeful that this next birth will be a little shorter than the first, but no matter what happens, we feel much better knowing Kim will be there to help us! — AB https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61cb47cf1478454833a1fb46/129ecf39-b8f6-4f57-ac93-38a8ccb34c15/Birth-Boot-Camp-Birth-Doula-Postpartum-Doula-Prenatal-Doula-Fort-Worth-Texas-Birthly Birth Doula Testimonials - I planned an unmedicated hospital birth, so my husband and I decided to hire a doula to aid in physical and emotional support. We found Kim and instantly felt comfortable with her. She answered my questions and eased my anxiety about being in a hospital. She was instrumental in writing the birth plan. My labor didn’t go exactly as planned, but Kim was in constant contact with my husband to help him assist me. When things started intensifying, she came to my house to help me. She listened to what I needed, found ways to comfort me, and helped us decide when it was time to go to the hospital. She was great at helping my husband be involved when he wanted. When my labor veered from my plan, she was encouraging and supportive. When I asked for an epidural, Kim made sure I stuck to my plan of checking dilation and try to go a few more contractions before making the official call. Kim helped us understand our options so that we were comfortable and made the best decision whenever suggestions were made by the nurses or midwife. Kim was the support I needed when it came time to push and helped guide me through the whole process. She got some pictures of the beautiful raw moments and even got a video of my daughter being born. I had a very long labor, but her support never wavered, and she made sure we stuck as close to my birth plan as possible. She stayed in contact even after the birth and has been great at answering questions. I couldn’t have had the amazing birth experience I did, even when things derailed from my plan, had I not had Kim by my side. I can’t say enough good about Kim. She’s not only a doula that we hired for one birth, but she’s also become a great friend, that my husband and I feel so blessed to have. — CC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61cb47cf1478454833a1fb46/618a4968-d1bd-4608-b39c-4847344fe5a0/Birth-Boot-Camp-Birth-Doula-Postpartum-Doula-Prenatal-Doula-Fort-Worth-Texas-Birthly Birth Doula Testimonials - Kim was awesome. She was the calm that both my husband and I needed during our delivery experience. It also helped that we all did our birthing class together. She was very compassionate and understanding to our wants and expectations. She had our backs when it came to making decisions on the day. And she brought snacks for my husband, his favorite red hots, to keep him busy. We will definitely be calling on Kim again when we have our next child! — KH https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61cb47cf1478454833a1fb46/fb8a8dcb-b364-4aff-a0df-1d4c6fbb1e55/peterson.jpeg Birth Doula Testimonials - When I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to learn everything I could about natural birth, and I realized that a doula would be one of the best ways to help me achieve my goal. My husband and I met with Kim while I was pregnant, and I also saw Kim regularly for my prenatal massages, where I shared my hopes and goals for my upcoming birth experience. Ultimately, my birth did not go according to my original plan, but even as we changed direction throughout my labor, I felt confident in every choice I made. I never felt like any of my decisions were driven by fear or anxiety, and I wholly credit Kim’s support and assistance for helping me stay calm and grounded during a birth that was not what I had originally foreseen. — JP *from the Father’s POV Heading into a natural birth, I had no idea what to expect. More importantly, I had no idea how to help. Kim was incredibly patient with my bumbling, overeager husband routine. She pinpointed areas where I was needed; where I could make the process easier on mother and baby without causing undue stress. It was a Godsend having an experienced professional who could guide us through the process with equal parts empathy and no-nonsense practicality. When things went a bit sideways in the last stretch she gave us the tools to roll with the punches, and my wife had the best possible experience. — JP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61cb47cf1478454833a1fb46/be97f831-cc7f-48df-a718-08e8e9015cc8/Birth-Boot-Camp-Birth-Doula-Postpartum-Doula-Prenatal-Doula-Fort-Worth-Texas-Birthly Birth Doula Testimonials - Kim was a wonderful part of our birthing team for baby number 3! She’s kind, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and responsive. She really made me feel at ease during my whole pregnancy and through delivering my baby. Leading up to the birth of our daughter Kim helped us prepare and made sure all of our questions were answered. She was also familiar with my doctor and some of the hospital staff, which made for smooth communication with everyone in the room. Kim helped coach me through labor and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. She was also a great advocate and made sure our birth plan was being followed. I loved how calming and focused she was, it really helped me through the hardest parts of labor. She followed up with us postpartum as well and has continued to check in on me, our baby and our other kids, who took a liking to her! I also had two great and very much needed prenatal massages from Kim. She does it all and does it well! We will forever be grateful for her! — CB
