Kind Words From Clients

“My wife and I leaned on Kathleen more than I would have thought when my wife first talked me into it. She's a total rockstar and I'm glad we worked with her. I was reluctant at first but I can't say enough good things. She just makes the whole process less stressful and educated us so well. She saved us many hours of sleep, brought calm to the chaos and saved the two of us from disagreements. Worth it!!”
Brian, Kelowna
“Kathleen brought immense knowledge to our meetings. She was a guiding light throughout my labour and birth. .Postpartum she supported with home visits, check-in texts and phone calls, a shoulder to cry on, a cheerleader to celebrate the wins with and much more. She felt like a best friend at the end of it all. We can't thank her enough and she'll be one of the first people we call when we become pregnant again. Thank you Kathleen!”
