What families say
Katie is amazing! We hired her as a postpartum doula and even though all of our plans were foiled by the pandemic (April baby- I think her first official covid one), she didn’t even miss a beat! I felt supported completely even if it wasn’t how I envisioned it.
Before hiring Katie, my husband and I had no idea what a postpartum doula was but boy were you we thankful to have her part of our team for the first six weeks of our son’s life! Katie always seemed one step ahead of my thoughts and needs, immediately getting to work once she arrived at my house.
Without a doubt the single best decision I made was to have Katie as my doula for my home birth. As a first time parent, I was nervous and she really put me at ease. When my labor was challenging, she helped reassure my husband and gave me useful suggestions to work through the progression of stages.
Katie Nyberg/The Iowa Baby Lady is a treasure! I have known Katie as a presenter, a trainer, a fellow faculty, a leadership team member, and a colleague in the birth worker field. Whatever this powerhouse of a woman works on, I recommend you sign up for! Katie is creative, efficient, organized, and has a heart of gold.
