Mom’s Perspective
“From the minute our agreement for services was made, Kendall was such an active participant in supporting my pregnancy. She consistently sent evidence based encouragement and helpful skills and tips to support my dream birth. Kendall would send me texts as long as encouraging voice messages to keep me grounded and remind me about what I can and can’t control. The timing of my birth and personal plans was tricky as I requested her doula services at 38 weeks. We started our time together with the understanding that Kendall may not be at the birth. Kendall took her own car with a change of clothes, packed doula bag and copy of my birth plan to her trip in anticipation of my needs. As luck would have it, my labor began at 4:42 pm and her plane landed at 6:10pm where she came straight to the hospital in sacrifice of seeing her own babies after a weekend away. That meant so much. During active labor and transition, Kendall suggested new skills, ideas, calming and grounding words and actions for me and my husband. Kendall continuously advocated for my desires as I lost most communication ability with the increase in intensity. Kendall humanized the situation when a change in baby’s well being became a need for a quick decision and medical jargon was the only language being used. Baby was born at 11:30pm and Kendall did not leave until 2:30am and made sure I had warm tea for digestion, electrolytes, a PP room set up to my comfort and space to recall and debrief the most wonderful 6.5 hours of my life! I can’t believe I was able to put all of that into words, because when I think of Kendall, words fail me. Very thankful to have her on my team.”
"My meetings with Kendall have been incredibly supportive, informative, and empowering. She created a safe space where I felt truly heard and understood, answered all my questions with clarity, and helped me feel confident and prepared for the journey ahead. Her warmth, knowledge, and encouragement have made a lasting impact, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side, as my husband and I anticipate the arrival of our second baby."
Dad’s perspective
“Kendall was awesome through the whole process. During prenatal she sent us all sorts of resources whether it be techniques for laboring to practice or different ways to think about our birth plan. During labor she was a constant source of positivity and encouragement. Kendall was able to speak into situations that I, as a man, just don’t have the validity in. She also was so incredibly helpful during active labor communicating with nurses and doctors so I could focus on my wife and being present and supportive with her. She took pictures, wrote out a timeline, and provided a host of postpartum resources all ready for us on our first night with our new baby boy. Working with Kendall was a wonderful experience and it’s hard to imagine bringing our son into the world without her.”
