Testimonial for Kristin Hernandez
Where do I begin? Kristin continues to be a highlight of my labor story as I recount it three weeks later. I assumed we'd use a doula for our first pregnancy and then be good without one moving forward-- however, my husband said post-labor, "Kristin will be at every one of our children's births. I'd pay 10x more for her."
Our first Zoom meeting with her left me with so much peace. I told friends and family we could feel the Holy Spirit in her through the screen. That effect stayed consistent all the way to our postpartum meeting-- Kristin's education on labor and guidance throughout that day empowered me with so much confidence that the hard, beautiful, painful process is *exactly * how it is designed to be. I never felt fear during labor because every sensation was one Kristin had explained in our home meetings may occur in labor, so I could move through each sensation with the mindset of "this is right. This is good."
Beyond the amazing prep during pregnancy, Kristin was crucial in labor. She brought my attention to areas of tension during labor (furrowed brow, tight jaw), and relaxing these areas truly allowed me to surrender to the process. When I was nearing pushing and my doctor saw a part of my cervix that needed some more work before pushing, Kristin confidently had me get in a lunge position for my next contraction, which immediately fixed the issue (I never would have thought to do this!).
I cannot say enough good things about Kristin. She's peace-filled, she's real and raw, she's easy to talk to, she's your biggest cheerleader, she's the best support for YOUR support (my husband's gratitude for her is as strong as mine), she's thoughtful (we bawled at the letter she wrote us after our son was born), she's just the best. We've recommended her to every single friend who is thinking about having children.
