I loved having Christine as my doula! The meetings prior to the birth were very informative and helped me get comfortable with her. She is so kind and has a calming presence. I feel very lucky to have had her there with me on my journey!

Christine is an incredible doula. She is calm, kind, and patient. She took so much time before my birth to get to know me and the vision I had for my labor. She always made me feel understood and didn’t hesitate to step in when I needed an advocate in L&D. Christine plays a quiet role behind the scenes as she uses her knowledge to empower your spouse and/or birthing partner. I highly recommend Christine to anyone looking for a doula, especially if you desire a calm atmosphere for your labor.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support I received from Christine at Tremendous Doula during the birth of my daughter in 2020. From the very beginning, Christine's warmth and constant smile created a comforting atmosphere. Her knowledge and sensitivity were evident as she walked beside me throughout my entire pregnancy.

Christine went above and beyond to guide and encourage me. She not only offered practical assistance but also provided emotional support, bringing positivity into every aspect of my journey. Whether it was taking walks together or engaging in art and craft activities, she knew how to keep my spirits high.

During a challenging turn in my delivery, Christine became my anchor. Even when my current OBGYN chose a different path, Christine's unwavering support kept me confident and determined. Her prayers were not only comforting but a source of strength.

Post-delivery, Christine continued to be a pillar of support, ensuring both my daughter and I were well taken care of. Her assistance in those initial days as a new mom was invaluable.

Christine's dedication, kindness, and genuine care have left an indelible mark on my birthing experience. I highly recommend Tremendous Doula, and specifically, Christine, for anyone seeking not just a doula but a supportive guide on their pregnancy journey.

Where do I start?! Mrs.Frackelton is a wonderful doula. This was my 3rd pregnancy with her and I enjoyed every birthing experience. I DEFINITELY recommend!! She takes the time out to really listen to your questions and concerns. Every question I inquired about she had the answer or was able to point me in the right direction. She is very professional, yet personable. I LOVE her dedication to her field of work. Knowing that she has been in my shoes before took the added element of stress off. She offers different services from birthing pools to birth/postpartum support. She really is a full spectrum doula. She is heaven sent! If I’m expecting again I will be back again! Thanks again Mrs.Frackelton
