Dear Black Woman + Kin,

This path you've chosen or found yourself along - birth, and everything she delivers - is near. She is welcoming you into her presence for the very first time, or yet again.

Our journey on this soil - both in historic and modern times - longs for exclusively-crafted light, an intimate walking alongside, a wisdom from one who has gathered knowing, one who has gone before. That nourishing guidance is here for you, and ease is yours to behold.

    I am forever grateful for you. This experience was everything I dreamed and prayed for. I couldn't have done it without you. God has blessed me with a wonderful family that supports and loves me and you have been another extension to the family. I love you and thank you so very much!

    Kris was so encouraging, brought in a photograph of my late mother which really personalized the experience for me in such a deep way. She really helped to make this birthing experience so incredible, magical, and unforgettable. We appreciate her and all that she does for her clients. I will continue to sing her praises!

    Given the statistics around Black Maternal Health and being a first time mom, I wanted all the support I could get. I interviewed a few local doulas but upon talking with Kris, my husband and I knew she was the best fit right away. We were so thankful to have her guide us through.

    I want to thank you for the support and assistance you gave my daughter in her delivery room. I appreciate the love that you showed to her husband and me - making sure that we were both involved in the process, too. Much love to you! May God bless you and your family!

    I just wanted to send a note of gratitude. P and I feel so incredibly lucky to have had you. What a gift! You definitely made our birth experience so much smoother than it otherwise would have been. I don't know what we would have done without you!
