"For my first birth, I didn't have a great experience, so the second time around, I wanted to try to do things differently the second time around.

Kaurina was a God-send. I didn't have the confidence or courage to have a natural home birth, but Kaurina gave me the strength and encouragement I needed.

From the prenatal visits to the birth of my son, she was there for me every step of the way. I honestly couldn't have had such a wonderful second birthing experience without Kaurina!"

-Susan Yan, VBAC mom

"We want to thank Kaurina for her great support during and after my wife's pregnancy. She brought a huge amount of knowledge that helped us navigate the different stages of pregnancy and provided such a calm and peaceful environment every time she came to our home.

After our baby was born, she was incredibly helpful at supporting my wife and teaching me what was needed on my part to support her.

We will always recommend her to all our friends and family. Her role as our doula and her commitment was exceptional."

"I had been told about doula's, but never quite understood what their worth was until I had one. My experience with Kaurina started with my second born child. She has great listening skills and the ability to draw out the best in you. She learned and understood my fears of not wanting to have another traumatic birthing experience, and also took the time to learn my dreams for the next birth. I was determined to have an informed and fearless birthing experience. Kaurina helped me face those fears and common prejudices that we have been taught by society.

My first 3 pregnancies each had their hardships. My first one was a stillborn at 27 weeks. The second was breech, and I felt coerced into a c-section. The epidural didn't work properly and I could feel the surgeon cutting me. It was quite traumatic. The 3rd baby was also breech. I had some fear and anxiety from my past experiences. I had Kaurina’s doula support for my third pregnancy. She spoke to me with so much respect, it instilled the belief in my heart and mind that I could be calm and strong in spite of the circumstances.

I chose Kaurina as my doula again with my 4th pregnancy. Her unwavering belief in my ability to have the birth experience I wanted made all the difference. It made me believe in myself. Despite my fears, I was able to tune in to my body and my baby and let go of irrational fears. I had a homebirth, surrounded by my the love of my partner and kids.”

"I wanted to express my heartfelt appreciation for Kaurina’s outstanding support during the birth of my child. Her expertise, compassion, and unwavering commitment to my well-being made all the difference in my birth experience, and I cannot thank her enough.

From the moment we met, I knew that I had made the right choice in selecting her as my doula. Her warm, caring demeanor put me at ease, and her extensive knowledge and experience gave me the confidence I needed to navigate the birthing process. She provided me with invaluable information and resources, and her practical tips were incredibly helpful in preparing for the birth.

During the actual birth, she were an absolute rock. Her calm, reassuring presence helped me to stay focused and centered, and her expert guidance was critical in helping me manage the pain and intensity of labor. Her support and encouragement gave me the strength I needed to push through, and I felt completely safe and secure in her hands.

Giving birth in the water at home was a dream come true for me, and her support in setting up the birth pool and ensuring that it was safe and hygienic was incredible. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect, and I could not have asked for a better experience.

Thank you so much Kaurina, for everything you have done for me and my family. You are an incredibly talented and caring doula, and I feel blessed to have had you by my side during such an important moment in my life." ❤️❤️❤️
