“A truly amazing birth doula!”
Kelly was a truly amazing birth doula!! She stayed with me through the many hours of labor and advocated for me when things weren’t going as expected, and I was having trouble expressing my needs to the doctors. There were several complications during my labor, and it really helped having her calm presence there to talk through options and to encourage me. I’m so glad I chose her to help me through this huge important scary beautiful moment in my life.

“Everything I wanted in a doula”
Kelly was everything I wanted in a doula. I am not super granola/woo woo, nor am I the type of person that just wants the “traditional” hospital birth. For me, Kelly was the best of both worlds. She was open and honest, super flexible and heard exactly what I needed through the pregnancy and birth process. I had a lot of anxiety due to previous pregnancy loss and she was able to meet me where I was at with all my oddball demands and superstitions. Even though my baby girl arrived two months early, Kelly was able to be there to support me and help my husband help me through labor. She even arranged my placenta encapsulation and made sure I was not alone when my husband accompanied our daughter to the NICU. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone who needs an extra support person who is confident, reliable and super competent!

“Her presence is calming, warm, and strong”
I used Kelly Overly as my doula and can’t say enough about how wonderful of an experience it was for both myself and my husband. Her presence is calming, warm, and strong which is exactly what I needed. During my labor, Kelly knew exactly what to do, what to say, who to direct, etc when my husband and I didn’t have the faintest clue. She was MY advocate and that was such a reassuring feeling while going through child labor which writes its own rules for each individual mother. I can’t stress enough how valuable it is to have a doula and Kelly is who I recommend to every expectant family now. Her support made my birth experience truly amazing.
