Testimonial for Christal Quick CD(DONA)
My husband and I highly recommend Christal! I don't think we could have picked a better person to be a part of the best day of our lives! From the moment we met Christal, she felt like a friend we had known forever and both felt very comfortable around her. It was important that both my husband and I felt the same way about the doula we picked, and when we left our interview with her, we knew she was a great match for us, and cancelled our other doula interviews.
Christal came to our house a couple times before the birth so we could get to know each other and she taught us some great laboring techniques for when labor started. She also addressed ALL of my fears and answered all of our questions about birth. Given that I had never given birth before, I felt as prepared as I could be knowing we would have Christal's support when the time came.
It was my goal to do a natural birth and throughout the labor, Christal was amazing! She knew when it was time to change positions, made so many helpful suggestions, and was great at helping my husband with massage and comforting techniques, that if I were just my husband and I, we wouldn't have known to do. But with that being said, she was so helpful but in a quiet background kind of way. Having her there, I was able to focus solely on the labor and I knew I didn't have to worry about anything else. Having Christal there to help guide husband, it seemed as he always know the right thing to do. I felt 100% supported through almost 18 hours of labor and 3.5 hours of pushing.
A few weeks after the birth, Christal by our house to recap the birth and let us talk about how everything went, which was really nice.
I would HIGHLY recommend getting a doula if you plan on birthing naturally, and absolutely recommend Christal to be that doula! When we are pregnant with baby #2, she will be one of the first people we call!
