Finding Christie was nothing short of an answered prayer. I had been going through the list of doulas online and saw Christie’s name. I knew as soon as I read her bio I needed to reach out to her. Christie answered the first time I called, and after having our first conservation I felt such comfort in knowing that she was going to be our doula. She was the perfect match for my family.

Christie was there with us through all the steps in preparing for the arrival of our baby from birth plans, OB visits, unplanned medical issues, emotional support, and tons of questions. We even took the Bradley Method course from Christie which I highly recommend. By the time our little one was set to make his arrival we were as prepared as I think first time parents could be.

When labor began, Christie was by our side coaching and encouraging me  throughout the entire process. Christie’s support never wavered even with ever changing events that can come along with labor. I know my husband sure appreciates that she was there to help us navigate all the unknowns.

This testimonial truly does not do Christie justice. She has exceeded our expectations with her coaching, support, encouragement, and knowledge. The experience we have had with her has been a true blessing to our family and one that we will forever be thankful for.

To all the future moms and dads out there, just know that Christie will treat you and your family like her own and will be there with you throughout this amazing journey every step of the way!

My husband and I hired Christie based off a recommendation from a friend, and she far exceeded our expectations. We interviewed other doulas, but chose Christie. And I'm so thankful that we did.

Upon our first meeting we connected and I knew I wanted her to be by my side during childbirth. Her knowledge, wisdom, experience both as a doula and from her our childbirthing experience, her love, her willingness to support us from beginning to end, are just a few of the reasons we are thankful for Christie. 

I wanted a natural birth without interventions. And like most births mine didn't go as planned. I had to be induced and my daughter was sunny side up. I was so proud of myself for making it to 8cm without interventions, but I would have never been able to go that far without Christie. 

I love that she helped us prepare mentally, physically and spiritually. I personally loved her knowledge of aromatherapy and oils as they have been very beneficial for me before during and after. 

We recommend her to everyone we know, and will continue to do so.

Christie did an amazing job to prepare my husband and I how to best navigate not only the physical and mental aspects of childbirth but also how to make educated decisions when your birth plan doesn't go as planned. With a combination of Christie's medical background and her natural minded ways, we are so thankful for what we learned.
Christie--thank you for everything! From your knowledge to helping us create a birth plan, you made a first time mom and dad so comfortable even through delivery and we could not have done it without you!

About two months ago my husband and I came to Christie with an unusual request-- could she assist us with a VBAC after 5 c-sections? I was relieved to hear that Christie was open and interested, but, more importantly, that she took the request to prayer and reflected on it. I knew right away that she was a thoughtful, intentional, and faith-filled person. Now we are on the other side of our successful VBA5C and I can say that Christie played a huge role in that success-- from navigating the pre-birth discussions with the hospital, to fine-tuning baby's positioning after days of prodromal labor, to encouraging us during the various difficulties and discouragements of labor itself. I believe that having a doula can make a huge difference for a laboring mother's physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being-- and Christie is a fantastic choice!
