When I got pregnant I was so excited, but absolutely terrified of giving birth. I knew I wanted to hire a doula and I am SO thankful I did! When I found Christie I knew immediately in my heart she was the one for me. She ultimately eliminated all of my fears and gave me the confidence I needed to make it through labor. Her experience and knowledge are second to none and she was by my side every step of the way - guiding me and my husband through it all. In the end, we had the beautiful and natural birth we really wanted.

I highly recommend taking Christie’s Bradley Method class as well, we are so glad we did! Not only did that educate us about pregnancy and labor, it also allowed us to really get to know Christie and establish a strong bond of trust over the course of those 12 weeks. As I sit here with my sweet baby girl in my arms I can’t help but beam with joy when I think back to how great pregnancy and birth went, and I truly believe Christie played a huge part in that. I promise you, you will not regret hiring Christie. I would do it a thousand times over, without question. She is absolutely the one you want in your corner during this journey.

"Christie Williams was honestly the best support I could have asked for during my pregnancy and birth. She was there with me every step of the way, answering all my questions (even the silly ones!) and making me feel so comfortable and confident. When it came time for labor, she was a total rock—calm, caring, and just knew exactly what I needed when I needed it.
Having Christie around felt like having a really knowledgeable best friend who just *gets* it. Even after the baby arrived, she stayed in touch, checked in, and gave me advice that made those first days so much easier. I’m so grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who truly cares."

I started researching doulas early in my 3rd trimester due to feeling the desire to have someone in my corner during late pregnancy to help me achieve a VBAC. I found Christie and after having an initial conversation with her I knew she would be a great fit. She offered advice and options to discuss with my providers before and after my prenatal appointments so I always felt like I was making good decisions and in control of my birth. During my labor Christie guided me through what I was feeling and offered ways for my husband and I to get through some of the harder parts of it. I believe that her support led me to an unmedicated labor and delivery. After birth Christie made sure my husband and I ate a good meal and once again made sure I was asking my providers the right questions making sure I spent minimal time recovering in the hospital. If you are considering a doula for pregnancy and labor support, please consider working with Christie!

Anyone would agree that laboring is a very intimate & vulnerable experiecne. It's so important to have someone you trust & enjoy by your side. Christie hit all the marks for us. She is a mom, a former nurse and a Bradley Birth coach. Talkabout the trifecta of L&D knowledge! She was able to guide me in so many ways! As a mom herself, I found comfort in the fact that she personally knew the process, the pain and achievement of what I was going through during labor. Her medical background gave her the ability to speak to things some doula's might not be able to fully. She could really explain things in laymens terms. Since I do not have really any medical knowledge, I struggled with understanding the definitions, risk and benefits and needs vs wants of certain western medical practices. Christie's love is profound. Her passion for her mama's &the birthing process is intense. Its exactly the kind of intsenity you want! When Christie reaches out to check on you - it wasn't just about the pregnancy process but to check on YOU&your overall wellbeing. Her ability to connect w/ me through labor really helped me stay focused &confident. I found her to be the 1st person I wanted to reach out to before, during & after the labor process.In addition, one of the characteristics I loved about Christie was her ability to read a room, & speak confidently yet, politely to staff. Christie has a true ability to advocate for you because she can read faces without even having to ask for help. She's intune with her mama's and she was a beautiful & elogent way of being able to process that information and share it professionally with the medical staff to ensure they're honoroing your wishes and making you the most comfortable. 

I wish I could hire Christie for every mama to be I know. She was an amazing part of our birth experince and I wouldn't ever want to do it without her.

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!
