Testimonial for Joann Christensen
As first-time parents, my husband and I entered pregnancy and birth feeling excited, nervous, and unsure of what to expect. From the very beginning, Joann met us with warmth, patience, and complete non-judgment. During our prenatal time together, she gave us the knowledge and space to truly understand our options, helping us feel empowered to make informed decisions that felt right for us. We always felt supported, respected, and deeply cared for. Joann was quick to respond to any concerns or questions we had no matter the time of day.
In the hospital, Joann was a calming, grounding presence for both of us. She supported my partner just as much as she supported me, helping us stay connected and confident as a team. When decisions arose, she helped us slow down, and feel clear and supported in giving informed consent, even in moments that felt overwhelming.
When our birth ultimately required a c-section, Joann remained steady and compassionate through the shift in plans. She helped us process the change emotionally, ensured we felt informed and respected, and reminded us that our experience and feelings mattered. Because of her unwavering support, we look back on our birth not with in disappointment, but with gratitude, pride, and peace.
We are endlessly thankful for Joann. Her presence made all the difference, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her prenatal and birth support to any first-time parents seeking compassionate, knowledgeable, and affirming care.
