Mindful Mutterings

I am blessed by all the families that have invited me to join them on their journey.  With much gratitude and love I thank you for all that I have learned.  My heart continues to expand from being part of these wonderful experiences.

“Having Catherine as our Doula during birth was like having a guardian angel. I loved and appreciated all her support. "
Bogdan, first time father 

“Once Catherine arrived, I never once doubted my body’s ability to have a successful birth, nor did I doubt our baby’s ability to birth at a pace and time that was perfect. "
Sarah, Mother of two

“Although we had to change our birth plan because medical intervention was quickly needed, Catherine worked to make my partner and I feel comfortable and confident that things would be okay. She helped to calm both of us, soothed me and helped me to stay relaxed and present for the birth of our son. She worked together with the midwife and medical staff to help create an organic experience that included aromatherapy, artwork, HypnoBirthing, massage and Reiki. The room was so peaceful that I remember nurses, who were not assigned to us, popping in just to see what was going on!
After the birth, Catherine supported us as a new family, as well as me as a new mom. She answered our million-plus questions, and listened when I needed an ear… We have found Catherine’s support to be invaluable and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful birth (and post-partum) experience. "
Domenica, first time mom

"As the partner to the birthing mother, I found Catherine very supportive.  The labour was very fast and she was a most needed extra set of hands.  She was also very calming.  She anticipated needs and did things that we didn't even realize we needed. "
Mary, mother of two 

"I had the opportunity to observe Catherine while working as a Doula for my daughter who had a newborn baby.  My daughter was alone with her new born and her five year old son for a whole month while her husband was out of town on business.  Catherine provided great support for my daughter and brought tremendous expertise in the care of newborns.  Not only did Catherine help with the kids but took care of numerous household chores like making breakfast, taking care of the laundry and keeping the house in order.  This allowed my daughter time to not only take care of her newborn but to find time to take care of herself.  Catherine was always cheerful and efficient.   She was terrific and I highly recommend her services as a Doula.  Catherine the great. Thanks for all your care, sense of humour and great skills! "
