We obtained the birth support services provided by Kimberley for the birth, as well as the prenatal classes, of our little girl, born in May 2023. We were looking for someone confident, knowledgeable and open to the different practices, which can be found both in the more "conventional" sphere, as well as the more "natural" or "alternative" ones surrounding pregnancy and birth. All our meetings together enlightened my partner and me regarding our various questions, and her presence at the birth was a great support, both for me and for my partner. We greatly appreciated Kimberley's great availability, impartiality & great respect for our choices, as well as her professionalism in her role as a birth support. We also plan to use her services again during my next pregnancy (if she is available ☺️)!

Kimberley has been a great help so far in the different stages of pregnancy. She was able to answer all our questions clearly and reassuringly. She really takes her time with us, she listens to each of our remarks and fears. She was able to find the words and phrases that motivated and cheered us up and we keep them in mind for the big day . With Kimberley it is not only the theoretical but also the emotional and psychological side of the whole pregnancy that is discussed during the exchanges. We felt comfortable asking her questions that we would not have dared to ask those around us or even a specialist with whom we do not have the time to build a bond of trust like with Kimberley. Thank you Kim for your listening and your unparalleled support !

We met Kim in the fall of 2019, a few months before our daughter's arrival. Her frankness and advice during our first meeting immediately put us at ease! Kim is direct and talks about childbirth with great passion. During prenatal classes, she demonstrated great flexibility and adapted her classes to our reality. On top of all that, Kim has a sense of humor that everyone enjoys. Having Kim with us for the birth was more than great! She never seemed bored even though the labor was dragging on. We are very grateful that she was there to guide us during this event, which was quite... difficult to plan in advance. I highly recommend her , and if we do a second one, we would hire Kim again without hesitation!

You have no idea how much gratitude we have for our birth story EVERY DAY! Thank You again and again! You are a GEM! I gave birth at the end of the first wave of the Covid 19 Pandemic. In the midst of all the fear, extreme lockdowns and limited access to anything but essential services Kim was there ! I have several "doula" friends, but my partner and I wanted to have a person whom we both shared the same history with. Kim came highly recommended to me by a friend and without shopping around too much we opened a dialogue with her about accompanying us through our birthing process. I loved that Kim was so experienced, that she has many kids and that she is so grounded in her own life and choices. Being in my third trimester in the midst of the first wave of Covid 19 and grieving the loss of my loyal German Shepherd was hard to say the least. It was a time that truly tested our skills in adaptability and improvisation and Kim was a solid rock for us. My labor was extremely long and Kim was there! Her presence was invaluable for myself, my partner, and our baby. She so graciously helped with the communications between our medical teams (I went through 5 shifts!). She worked so closely with me and them in finding what we called our daughter's happy place -- which was a pretty specific position that was very far from what I had envisioned my birth to look like! Thanks to her juggling so gracefully all of the progressions and evolving information and decisions we had such a positive birth experience. We are forever grateful to have had Kim accompany us through this transition into parenthood!
