The first time my husband and I met Christine we knew she would be a blessing to us. Not really knowing much about doulas, we consulted with our Dr. about them and he recommended Christine's name telling us that he enjoyed working with her and that she was very helpful to one of his patients. The fact that Christine was recommended by our Dr. speaks volumes to who Christine is and how well she works with others. We set up a time to interview Christine and it did not take my husband and I long to see the special heart and love that Christine has for her job and the mommys and daddys involved. We figured we here people to fix our cars, and do maintenance around the house- highering a doula to help with something so special only made sense and to hire someone as kind as Christine made it easy for us to ask her to be our doula. She was patient, kind, understanding, very knowledgable, and very compassionate. When birth day came and I started to feel what I thought were labor plains, I called Christine and she was at my house in 20 minutes. I was able to labor at home wih the encouragement and support of Christine and my family. It was not easy but Christine was always there telling me how great I was doing when I began to lose strength. She was with me in the middle of the night as I labored in the shower and she (for hours) sprayed my body with warm water. She never made me feel uncomfortable even in my most vulnerable moments. After almost 12 hours of labor I was ready to give up and go to the hospital and get meds. Christine helped me think through this and set a goal for myself. I never needed my goal, God is so good and when I got to the hospital I was ready to start pushing and an hour and a half later I was holding my beautiful Madalynn. Christine helped me give birth naturally when I never thought I could. She will forever be a blessing to us and if the Lord allows us the gift of parenting again I would choose Christine as my doula 100%!
