Testimonial for Krystal Carter
I found Krystal during my third trimester when facing an unexpected move to the Richmond area. I interviewed several doulas, but from the first video chat with Krystal, I knew she would be the perfect birth doula for our growing family. She's a great listener, so kind, and answered all of my questions confidently yet honestly. Once I moved to the area, we met in person and she was very personable and easy to talk to. Krystal came prepared to our meeting with a folder full of educational handouts and asked some thought-provoking questions regarding my wishes for the birth. In another meeting, we practiced some hands-on techniques to help with my goal of achieving an unmedicated birth. Fast forward a week or so later, she arrived at the hospital quickly, within minutes of us despite not having much notice. Krystal immediately got to work creating my desired ambiance for the space and was such an encouraging presence during the most challenging part of labor. She stayed with us for hours after baby’s arrival, until we felt settled, and even helped to carry many of our personal belongings to our postpartum room. Krystal followed up with me, both in-person and via text, to offer support and resources as needed. We are so thankful to have found Krystal and would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a birth or postpartum doula.
