consisting of praise,
reassurance, measures to improve
the comfort of the mother,
physical contact such as rubbing
the mother’s back and holding
her hands, explanation of what
is going on during labor and

 "Bridget is an amazing doula. We were
so grateful to have her assist us at
the home birth of our son. She was
focused, engaged, and calm during the
entire duration of my labor. My birth
was an HBAC (home birth after cesarean)
and Bridget was very supportive and
understanding of my reasons for desiring
a natural birth at home. She was also
extremely level-headed during a tense
moment at the end of our birth when we
needed to reach 911 for an emergency
service. Bridget kept her cool and was
able to locate a phone and dial the
number promptly amidst the chaos of our
bedroom. :) For this, we will be forever
grateful to Bridget. We would
wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone
seeking an amazing and competent support
person for labor and birth, as well as
prenatal and postpartum support in the
form of personal visits and massage."
Thank you!!!

"Words cannot describe our gratitude. We
had such a wonderful birth
experience... all thanks to you. We
appreciate all your encouragement and
support throughout our labor as well as
your support from the many weeks prior.
You helped create our ideal birth
experience and we could not have done it
without you. Especially towards the
difficult and exhausting "end" during
our several hours lingering at 9cm...
you encouraged me to make sure I stuck
to what I really wanted... a natural
birth, without drugs or intervention. We
are so happy you were there. Birth is
such a once in a lifetime experience and
we appreciate you being a part of it.
You re such a wonderful giving person,
anyone would be lucky to have you as
their doula in the future. Many many
thanks ..."
Sincerely,
Nicole and Brandon Gates |

"Bridget Kord was the attending doula at
the labor and birth of my first child. I
can say without any doubt that I could
not have labored and birthed without
her. Bridget was so supportive and
encouraging. I had a long grueling labor
of about 24 hours. Bridget was there for
me every step, every contraction, every
moment. She talked me through my
contractions with calm and clarity. Her
voice was comforting and soothing in a
time when I needed it the most. I had
doubts of whether or not I could make it
through to the end of my labor. I
planned a natural childbirth experience.
During my labor, Bridget assured me that
I could make it through to the end, even
when I thought I could not Bridget was
calm and confident. She knew what I
needed and met my needs every time,
every moment. Bridget had great
suggestions for new positions and ways
of helping me cope with my labor pain.
She took charge when she needed and
supported and encouraged me when I
needed that as well.
I highly recommend Bridget as a doula
for any woman that is planning on
natural childbirth. Bridget's warm and
compassionate nature made her a highly
valued addition to my birth experience.
In addition, Bridget is extremely
knowledgeable and educated in all
aspects of pregnancy and birth process.
She was always available to answer any
of my questions and concerns. I know I
will ask Bridget to be my doula at my
next birth. Bridget's presence at the
birth of my first child is a treasure I
will experience forever."

"My name is Nicole Moses and
Bridget Kord helped me get through the
most amazing moment in my life. The
birth of my son. I chose to have a
natural labor, because I really wanted
to feel the experience of having my
child. So since I decided on natural
labor I wanted a doula. Bridget came
highly recommended from my friend who
also had her assistance in her natural
labor.
I had a 24hour labor and Bridget never
left my side. She never even showed
signs of exhaustion. I was getting so
weak and Bridget stayed so strong for
me. She was the most amazing gift I
could of been given. I would have never
made it through it without her. She has
this amazing strength. My husband was
even amazed by her and ever so thankful.
Even though there were many times that I
wanted to give up, she didn't allow me
to. She was truly my savior. Thank you
Bridget I will never be able to repay
you for what you did for my family and
I." |
