Testimonials

“I worked with Katie throughout my pregnancy and I am continuing to work with her postpartum as well! I’ve had the best experience throughout the whole process and I could not recommend her more! She helped me with my pain in pregnancy with exercises and body work that helped me prepare for the birth I wanted. She was by my side when that birth did not go as I had hoped and planned for, and was my voice when I needed her as well. I will 100% be using her again for my next baby and recommend her to all of my friends as well.”

“Katie Lusby changed my entire outlook on a doula. There is no way I could have done this birth without her. This was my 6th baby, and I had no idea how much I needed Katie’s support. She was incredibly intuitive, caring, with me, supporting me, encouraging me every step of the way. With all of the training we did, my labor went faster than normal, and my recovery time has also increased. She’s thoughtful, sooo knowledgeable, and will support you with whatever your birth plans are. Katie is incredible, and you will be so happy you went with her!”

“Katie was the best doula! My planned home birth turned into an unplanned hospital birth and she was there every step of the way! I’m grateful we had met many times during my pregnancy to go over my preferences so she was able to advocate for me at home and in the hospital! Definitely will be using her again for my next baby.“

“I decided to take one of the local birthing classes at my birthing center and that is where I met Katie! As a first time mom I was unsure if I needed a doula. After taking her birthing class I immediately knew I needed one and I wanted her to be my doula! Katie provided so much knowledge throughout my pregnancy and made me feel so much better. Her prenatal massages were also amazing. I ended up needing to have a hospital birth instead of the birthing center birth I wanted. When she arrived at the hospital I immediately felt better and safe with her.

If it wasn’t for her I don’t think I would have been able to do it unmediated like I wanted too. She helped me relax and kept me calm, reminding me continuously that I could do it. Katie also made sure the doctors followed my birth plan. Katie continued to check up on me after I had my baby and offered advice and support. I highly recommend Katie and we will definitely use her for my future babies.”

“I hired Katie when I was 38 weeks because I was having some anxiety about my birth center birth. I was told I had some complications and I had previously had a very challenging hospital birth that had a big emotional impact. I was resolute in my birth plan but in need of some emotional support.

Kate was a huge help in sharing information, empowering me to make decisions and easing my anxiety. She was also extremely helpful with pain management using massage and positioning to help make things manageable. She was integral in making my son’s birth a beautiful, peaceful, and safe feeling experience for me and my husband. We are extremely thankful for her and only wish we had thought to hire her sooner so we could have experienced her full range of services!”

“UTILIZING KATIE AS A COACH PRE-PREGNANCY, THROUGHOUT MY PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM WAS ONE OF THE THE BEST DECISIONS I HAVE MADE. MY BODY WAS PREPARED PHYSICALLY (TWO PUSHES AND MY DAUGHTER WAS BORN) AND SHE TAILORED POSTPARTUM RECOVERY WORKOUTS TO HEAL AND HELP YOU FEEL GREAT ABOUT YOUR NEW BODY.
I WORKED WITH KATIE REMOTELY BUT THERE WAS NEVER A TIME I FELT I COULDN’T ASK FOR HELP OR GET A CORRECTION ON SOMETHING I MAY HAVE BEEN DOING WRONG. I HAVE RECOMMENDED HER TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS BECAUSE SHE TRULY CAN HELP YOU ENJOY PREGNANCY, LIKE EVERYONE SHOULD!

CAME TO KATIE CLOSE TO MY DUE DATE TO HELP WITH STRETCHING AND OPENING HIPS, PELVIC FLOOR, AND I WISH I HAD WORKED WITH HER MY ENTIRE PREGNANCY! SHE DEFINITELY IS SKILLED AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE BODY, BIRTH, PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM THAT HAS LEFT ME FEELING CONFIDENT TO WALK INTO MY UNMEDIATED VBAC.

“There’s no time more important to have support than when bringing life into the world. When I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted Katie’s guidance. She helped me clarify my goals, walked me through my options, and provided resources to make sure I felt informed and confident. Katie was always available and even included my partner in the process, making sure he knew how to best support me.

She tailored a workout plan to my busy schedule, keeping me physically and mentally prepared for the big day. When labor arrived, I couldn’t have asked for better support. Katie’s experience as a doula and massage therapist was invaluable, providing both emotional and physical relief through every stage of labor.

Having had a difficult first delivery, I carried a lot of fear and anxiety into this pregnancy. Katie helped me work through those emotions, providing visualizations and healing exercises. Thanks to her, my birth experience this time around was amazing, and I’m so grateful for her care and expertise.”
