VBAC Success

“When I decided to hire a doula I wanted someone who would have the knowledge and experience to help make my second birth different than my first. I knew immediately after talking with Kim and Chelsea that they were the perfect women to help make that happen. Kim being a VBAC mom herself helped me to navigate through my emotions and fears. She was the first person I ever talked to to offer me and explanation about my first birth and support me in ways to prevent a repeat C section. They helped me to feel prepared leading up to my due date. They checked in on me throughout my pregnancy. When it came time, I had such a peace knowing that she would be there. I knew I would not be alone in advocating for my wishes and supported every step of the way. Kim was so instrumental through my labor and delivery. When I became anxious she was able to calm me. In the most intense moments of delivery I could look at the face of someone who's been there and know it was going to be alright. She helped my husband in ways to support me and be involved. I do not think my daughter's birth would have gone as well without them. ”

Inner Knowing

“As a third time mom, some might wonder why I even needed another birthing class. Shouldn't I have the hang of this by now? Unfortunately traditional childbirth ed only provides an understanding of the physical birthing process. Sure, we all benefit from learning about stages of labor and possible interventions, but what those classes miss is an opportunity to learn about birth from the inside out. The chance to unpack our pain, hopes, fears, and insights so we can feel more confident in our inner knowing and strength. It is only when we get to know ourselves and our own unique needs that we can truly understand birth and experience its transformation unattached to outcome. Kim helped us gather our inherent wisdom and guided us in creating space for the unknown. She allowed us to ponder the liminal space, that gruesome stage of unknowing, so we can emerge from this next birth liberated from the idea that if we aren't victorious, then we are broken. Birth is never binary. It is a whole body experience that changes us to our core and Birthing From Within is an opportunity to be fully seen and held through that emotional and spiritual shift into parenthood and beyond ❤️.”

Super Hero

“Chelsea is a super hero in every sense. She swooped into my life when I needed her the most. I had my son at 35 weeks & struggled from the beginning, being in the NICU & “having” to use a nipple shield. Hearing conflicting things from different people at the hospital about what I should be doing. For a solid month I tried everything but it wasn’t clicking for us. My birth plan didn’t pan out & all I wanted was to be able to breast feed my son. Chelsea was my last resort. I told her if she couldn’t help us I was throwing in the towel. Within an hour she had my son not only feeding but without the nipple shield & we’ve been going strong ever since 5 months later. She gave me the confidence I was lacking, calmed my anxiety & had me looking at it from a different perspective than I was. It was amazing, she’s amazing. I tell everyone I know about her and am so grateful there are people like her out there helping out new moms.
