Kira took the time to understand our birth plan and wishes for our birth. She taught me how to appropriately advocate for myself during labor by ensuring I understood my rights and how to explain my needs to my doctors. Kira knew that I did not want medical interventions during labor and continuously supported me and encouraged my decision. Kira supported my husband and helped him better understand what was happening while it was happening. She assisted him in how to support me (verbally and physically) so that we had the most positive connection during labor. She was able to allow him to have calm moments for himself when needed by being by my side for his peace of mind. Following the birth of my son, Kira offered assistance with questions that I had about my recovery and how to breastfeed. The doctor who delivered my son expressed gratitude for the support that Kira was able to offer our family during labor and reported that he was impressed with her knowledge and demeanor. I am forever thankful for everything that Kira did for our family.
