Kathy helped my family welcome our second baby, a little boy.  I had some anxiety about going past my due date because my first baby was 2.5 weeks early.  Kathy was always available to reassure me and it was great having someone to talk to when I had anxious thoughts that I wanted to resolve.  During my labor, Kathy gave me advice via text and my husband helped me labor at home throughout the night.  I was afraid to go to the hospital too early but my midwife and Kathy both directed me to go in after several hours and I was dialted enough to be admitted (I wouldn't have gone in without their advice as my water broke with my first baby and had no idea that sometimes you can be 7 cm dialted without your water breaking!).  Kathy met us at the hospital and brought such a calming and wonderful energy.  She gave me massages with some wonderful oil and bolstered me with kindness.  Our baby boy came healthfully (just a bit liquidy which affected his hearing test, which Kathy said not to worry about, and he passed the follow up test beautifully!).  I would absolutely recommend Kathy to anyone looking to add to their team of support for their childbirth journey.  She is kind and knowledgeable; a complete joy during a time where I didn't have all the answers and relied so heavily on others.  Thank you Kathy, for helping me with my little Koa.
