We were fortunate enough to work with Cristina during our first weeks home with our little one, and her support was instrumental to our comfort in being home as first time parents. Cristina took the time to understand what we needed and helped us learn how to care for our new baby, including reading baby's cues, learning how to soothe her for sleep, helping us understand how to use the various baby products we had, how to do paced bottle feeding, etc.. Cristina provided support, connection, and also space depending on what we needed each night without any pressure. She checked in with us about how things were going, followed up on conversations from each week to the next, and made it clear how much she cares in a professional and compassionate way. If you are looking for doula support, Cristina is delightful to work with and I cannot recommend her services enough!

During my initial conversation with Cristina, I knew we had found our match.  Her kind approach to postpartum care was exactly what we were looking for. We eagerly awaited her arrival and found comfort when she took the baby for the night while we got much needed sleep.  She did a wonderful job with the kids laundry, perfectly folded and ready to be put away.  
I really enjoyed how quiet and comforting Cristina was and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Doula.

Cristina provided overnight support during my baby's first two months. Cristina was wonderful and I would absolutely hire her again. She soothed, fed, and changed my baby throughout the night. She also went above and beyond by cleaning and organizing bottles and pumping equipment, sharing helpful tips above baby care, and being a great listener. I always felt like my baby was loved and well-cared for by Cristina. She was a critical part of our family's support structure during my baby's first few months of life.

If you're not sure you need a post-partum doula, you do. And look no further than Cristina. We were able to work with Cristina for 8 week after delivery of our little boy. As first time parents, there was so much we didn't know. From day 1, Cristina made us feel so comfortable and confident as new parents. She was able to provide early support for breastfeeding and pumping, including resources for lactation consultants if needed. As my journey switched to formula, she made us feel heard and provided bottle support and best practices. Week 1 she helped us organize the nursery and give tips we wouldn't have even thought of! Each day we made a game plan, including cleaning and prepping bottles, baby laundry and folding, and feeding and snuggling the little one. She also was great to talk to and answer any of our random questions, she never made us feel silly, and provided some well needed adult conversion during those early newborn days.  We decided how to use our time together and she went above and beyond to be useful while she was here, including making sure we were supported with snacks, water, and SLEEP! 

She was able to provide helpful product recommendations and best practices and there is so much we learned from her! 

Cristina's energy is calming, helpful and intuitive. It felt like she became part of our family/friend in those 8 weeks and I'm so glad we as parents, and our baby, had her during those days and nights she provided support. We can't speak highly enough about Cristina and would recommend her to anyone seeking support.

Cristina spent time with our family for four weeks to help us adjust to our new routines with a newborn and a toddler. She arrived early before her shift started to get caught up on our baby's schedule, needs, and any important updates, then cared for him 8 hours overnight. She would track all his sleep, diapers, and feeds, and share the information via text the next morning. Cristina has such a calming energy that we knew our baby was in great hands - even when he was only sleeping in short increments or while being held. My only regret is that we couldn't have her with our family for longer! I would highly recommend her to any family looking for support (and sleep!) during the postpartum period.

Cristina was with us our first night home from the hospital and was so wonderful to work with during our early post partum weeks. Having the extra support at night allowed us to be more rested and present for our newborn and toddler during the day. Cristina is incredibly kind, thoughtful and intuitive. She always made an effort to take mom/dad's lead, and she seamlessly and immediately became part of our night time routine and our family. She was so loving and wonderful with our daughter and made us feel completely at ease. Cristina is also extremely knowledgable about breastfeeding, bottle feeding, infant care and post partum recovery for moms and she is able to effortlessly offer all of the support you could need in any of these areas. We already miss her and are so grateful for everything she has done for us!

We cannot say enough good things abour our experience with Cristina and we would recommend her to anyone looking for help once baby arrives!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Cristina! As new parents, we were looking for doula support to learn important skills for taking care of our little one and also to get some rest. Cristina went above and beyond for both of these goals. She gave us so much confidence to grow into our new roles as parents and helped teach us so many things, including some new skills that were tricky for us like pumping and bottle feeding. She also was so loving and wonderful with our daughter, so we felt totally secure taking some much needed naps while she was with us since she had everything under control. :) We still use skills she taught us and products she recommended every day.

We were so sad at the end of our time with her but felt so much more confident and secure in our role as parents, thanks to her help. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great transition into parenthood!
