I was lucky enough to have delivered my baby girl with Katrina as my nurse! My labor lasted more than 24 hours, which meant multiple shift changes. Katrina was the nurse who checked me in and made sure I was comfortable, something I especially needed as a first-time mom.

From the very beginning, her calm confidence and compassion became the guiding light that carried me through my journey. During my overnight labor, Katrina ensured I had every resource and specialist available to make informed decisions. She encouraged my husband and me as we practiced B.R.A.I.N., giving us the space and time to ask questions while also offering guidance I wouldn't have thought to seek, such as asking the anesthesiologist detailed questions or exploring different labor positions.

She never pressured me; instead, she empowered me with information and support so I could move forward with confidence. Even during my epidural, she supported not just me but the anesthesiologist, helping make the experience smoother and less intimidating. When Katrina returned for the final stage of delivery, she became the anchor of our room. For over two hours of pushing, she stayed by my side, coaching me with steady encouragement, explaining the progress, and helping me problem-solve through every obstacle.

Her presence was the perfect balance of calm, strength, and unwavering support. Because of Katrina, I truly had a beautiful birth experience. She made the hardest day of my life into one of the most empowering and perfect moments. I could not have asked for a better nurse to walk beside me through labor and delivery.
