Reviews for Gem of the Valley Doula

  I was referred to Katharine by my friend July, and I’m so grateful for that connection. We met just a month or two before my due date, and from the beginning, Katharine was a wealth of knowledge — so friendly, personable, and easy to talk to. She had an answer for every question I had and truly helped me feel more comfortable and confident leading up to my delivery. Katharine helped me craft a birth plan and educated me on so many important aspects of childbirth and postpartum. Even though she wasn’t able to be physically present during my delivery (no fault of her own — my baby just decided to make a surprise entrance!), I felt fully prepared thanks to all the knowledge she shared with my husband and me. What really stood out was her support after the birth. Katharine came to our home to check in on me and our baby, offering continued guidance, encouragement, and care during a time that can feel very overwhelming. Her presence made a huge difference in my postpartum experience. I highly recommend Katharine to any expecting family looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and truly supportive doula. Katharine really is a gem!

  Katharine was so supportive and helpful throughout my birth, I don't think I could have done it without her. I connected with her when I was 38 weeks pregnant and I am so happy I did!! I had a lot of fear and negativity about having a hospital birth (first baby born at home). During our initial meeting she made me feel so safe and like I was not alone in this. She is extremely knowledgeable and supportive! Although we had just met before my birth I felt like I could trust her completely! She also provided amazing resources and tips for my husband and I; which I feel like brought us closer as a couple. When we arrived at the hospital, she immediately dimmed the lights, set up everything I wanted, and talked to the nurses without me ever having to ask. Being a surrogate, we had a lot of people involved and Katharine made everyone feel comfortable, informed, and supported. I would absolutely recommend her doula services and I hope she is available for my next pregnancy! <3 Thank you Katharine!!

  I was soo extremely blessed to have Katherine as my doula for my 2nd pregnancy! She gave me so much confidence, which I needed. She was such an angel in the delivery room for both me and my husband. I hope to have her be my doula for my future pregnancies. 🥰
