There are two words that come to mind when I think of Katell: friend and strength. Katell is the friend you didn’t know you were missing. As soon as she entered my life she brought an immense amount of joy with her. She is the friend who will listen to you, laugh with you and be a safe place to cry when you need it (and during pregnancy, you need it often :-)). I think of strength when I think of Katell because that is a gift she gave me. During pregnancy she showed me the physical and emotional strength that I had. Even on the hardest of days, she reminded me that I was strong enough to carry my baby. One of my favorite things that she repeated often, that I now repeat to myself on the hard days as a mother was, “you are the perfect mama for your baby.” That reminder hits to the deepest parts of my heart and reminds me to smile. My pregnancy was filled with ups and downs but Katell never let me lose sight of the joy of the journey. She is always there to help you and I look forward to sharing the experience of motherhood with her as my little one grows.

Pregnancy is an incredible journey. In my case, I knew I wanted to be a mother, but even though I planned to have a baby, the second I found out I was pregnant I was scared. Being a first-time mom is like the coolest craziest thing that has ever happened to me. I do have to say, I am also new to the Denver area and have no family in this country. Thanks to Katell’s class I felt so much better. Katell is this unknowingly incredible human being that dedicates her life to just offering love and kindness to women like me. I will never forget my first class, I was 13 weeks pregnant, which means you have a lot of symptoms but you don’t feel the baby yet so its the strangest thing. Katell guided the class in such a way that from beginning to end you feel so much love and empowerment. From making us laugh by sharing our feelings, to brining us to tears or joy when doing tree pose in a circle supporting each other, she knows exactly what support women need. I thank Katell for making my pregnancy journey an incredible one even through medical complications I knew I could come to her for advice and comfort. I can also say that I ended up meeting some of the women that became my great friends and out children now play together. I believe so much in what Katell does that I have given my pregnant fireman passes to her class. If you are pregnant or post partum do not miss this experience. We all need a little Katell in our lives.

I didn't know I wanted a doula until I experienced Katell's prenatal yoga class. The way she holds space and empowers people is magnetizing. Our meetings during our pregnancy were informative and grounding. Her presence during an unmedicated birth in a hospital setting defined the experience for me. She transformed the space into a calm environment, helped my partner connect with me and made me feel like I had a team of friends with my best interest at heart. Katell will always hold space in our family's heart.

Katell's supportive, grounded, gentle but strong, and individualized teaching and energy is unmatched by other yoga instructors and doulas. She was integral in my preparation for birth and now for my postpartum healing. She is accepting, authentic, inclusive, and exceptionally skilled. I used so many strategies I learned in her classes and through her guidance to successfully achieve unmedicated birth despite heavy intervention, and, when I struggled with postpartum complications in my healing and recovery, she once again provided both support and expertise to aid in my progress. I'm beyond grateful to her and forever changed by her. She is so generous with her gift, and everyone who practices with and learns from her is inspired. Even my very non-yogi wife appreciated her partner yoga classes in preparation for the birth of our daughter! Thank you, Katell, for being such a special part of my journey.

- I am so grateful to have had Katell as my doula for the birth of my child. We interviewed several doulas and chose Katell due to her centering, positive, and supportive demeanor. I am a physician and wanted to have a doula to help me step back from my medical training and experience the natural process of childbirth. Katell met with us at our home several times to prepare for the birth of our first child. She took the time to explore our birth wishes and helped us feel equipped and empowered prior to going to the hospital. I ended up being induced for medical necessity and Katell was incredibly supportive the entire time. With her techniques and support to my husband and me, I was able to have an unmedicated birth. She was available to me whenever we asked. My husband texted with her during the night at the very beginning of my induction and she gave us great ideas for coping with early stages of labor. She then came to the hospital early in the morning to be with us. She transformed our L&D suite from a stressful fluorescent-lit room to a calm, quiet and centering space for my husband and me to labor. Katell recognized the time to give my husband and me space to bond together during labor and she also knew exactly when we needed active support from her as our doula. As labor became more painful, Katell introduced additional techniques for coping and helped me work with my body to birth our child. With Katell’s help, we welcomed a healthy and happy baby boy to our family on Christmas Eve.

- Katell was instrumental in facilitating the birth my wife and I wanted. Looking back on the experience I can’t imagine going through it without her there. When interviewing doulas, Katell did not pressure us but rather helped us determine the type of person we wanted to partner with us through this process. I connected with her readily and I’m grateful she was there to support my wife and me before, during and after our delivery. Katell prepared me with tools to confidently support my wife during all stages of labor. Rather than being fearful in the L&D suite, I was excited and emotional. Going into an induction with my wife was initially scary but once Katell arrived the energy immediately shifted and we felt empowered and ready for the birth of our child. I recommend Katell wholeheartedly.
