Christin helped me immensely during my pregnancy as well as my birthing process during Covid-19. I have general severe anxiety and my anxiety became even worse when restrictions on births started. Christin educated my husband and I on the birth process very well, as well as educating us on our choices and options. Although ultimately she was not able to be in person for my labor and delivery, she stayed on video chat or on the phone with us from start to finish, helping keep me calm and concentrated as well as guiding my husband in helping me. She has been an amazing resource for me and was always so kind, patient, and lent a sense of humor where she could lighten the mood. Our family loves her and you will too!

Chaya attended the birth of my 5th child and she was the BEST part of my birth team.

She was very attentive, caring, kind, affirming, compassionate, helpful, knowledgeable, willing, and a plethora of other positive adjectives that I could go on and on. 

Honestly, I don't know how I ever gave birth without her. She helped involve my husband in ways he's never been involved in my births and made the experience enjoyable for him and me. When we look back at our photos with her glowing smile, he always comments about how amazing she was and how he was so happy she was there. 

Chaya will empower you to believe in yourself and your body's ability to birth a human. She comes with all sorts of helpful oils, tools, wonderfully strong hands for counter pressure, and tons of knowledge on how to breath and relax (I had no idea it was possible to relax during labor - in fact, I wasn't a bit sore the next day. I felt like a Mac truck had run me over with my previous labors). 

Not only is she amazing during the labor and delivery, but she prepares you for it by meeting with beforehand and showering you with information on what to expec. She helps you come up with your ideal birth plan and back up plans. Then, once you've delivered the baby, she comes to your home to check in on you and baby and make sure you're adjusting well. She is full of helpful advice for any situation you may encounter. 

I couldn't offer a higher recommendation. Chaya is a top knotch doula. You won't find anyone more supportive and warm. If you're pregnant and looking for a doula, look no further. You found the one with her!
