Kristy was very caring and professional. She gathered us before our induction day to do an education session. We went over pain options and wishes and made a plan. We reviewed the types of induction and what our day would look like once arriving to the NRGH perinatal unit. It was wonderful to have her support through the whole process. She was present for me and tended to all my needs during labour and delivery. Was so happy to have her with me for my journey.

I met Kristy back in December of 2023. One of the first qualities I noticed about her was her natural warmth and sincere personality. She helped me take care of my 3 month old baby after I'd lost my mom unexpectedly, and it was very easy to welcome her into our home. I fully trusted her in taking care of my baby and we would often have very pleasant conversations in the evenings and early mornings. I always looked forward to having coffee with her. Kristy has a very easy-going personality and she was great with both my baby and toddler. I wished I could have had her around for longer! I would highly recommend her doula services.

Kristy came to us in a very tough time. She did everything and more to help us out. She was very flexible and accommodating with her availability. Couldn't say enough about Kristy and the service she offers. 5 stars

I had so many complications due to my own health issues and Kristy was was there to help through it all ,very respectfully woman and would go out of her way to make sure I was comfortable my experience using a doula instead of a Dr for my first pregnancy was 10/10 no regrets and so glad I choose to go through Kristy instead of someone else

We had the honour of having Kristy as part of our birth team when our first child was born. It was a time of pure excitement, but obviously also of anxiety. Kristy helped prepare us with as much information as possible, with everything from the pregnancy, to the process of labour, the birth, and what to do once we brought our bundle home. She was as kind and gentle with us as she was with our newborn. We were able to spend time getting to know Kristy prior to the birth, so that when she arrived that night we already felt comfortable with her. This was so important during such a vulnerable time. And when our Birth Plan "A" changed, we knew that we had the best support team to help us through the challenges. Kristy didn't skip a beat and ensured we had everything we needed. She and the midwife worked seamlessly as a team. During labour and birth, Kristy was where she was needed when she was needed, and otherwise would make herself helpful while giving us space. She ensured my husband was as involved as he wanted to be, and expertly recommended ways that he could support me, while ensuring that he was supported and comfortable too. Kristy took photos during the birth, images that we cherish more each day as our little one grows so quickly! Although it gets harder and harder to recall the specific details about that day, we will never forget the support we felt from Kristy and how important she was to our birth story. She truly made a world of difference during our pregnancy, birth and beyond.
