Testimonial for Christa Joy Kirtland, CD(DONA), C-CBE
We truly could not have asked for a better doula to support us through pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum. From the beginning, Christa was a calming, reassuring, and supportive presence.
Throughout my pregnancy, she consistently checked in, answered questions, and offered thoughtful suggestions, including natural ways to prepare my body and encourage labor. When I ended up being induced at 42 weeks, I was disappointed that I couldn’t deliver at our chosen birth center, but having Christa by my side, along with our midwives, made the experience 100x better.
During early labor, she helped me understand the pros and cons of the options being presented without ever making me feel pressured. She made sure I felt informed and confident, and wholeheartedly supported every decision I made. I always felt heard, respected, and empowered.
What truly sets Christa apart is that her care didn’t end when our daughter was born. Both my daughter and I experienced complications, and she continued checking in throughout postpartum, offering resources for NICU family support, helpful suggestions, and genuine care for our entire family.
Months later, when our daughter needed surgery at 5 months old, Christa went above and beyond again. She checked in on us and even dropped off meals during an incredibly stressful and emotional time. It meant more to us than I can put into words.
Christa wasn’t just there for our daughter’s birth—she supported our family through some of our most vulnerable moments. Her compassion, knowledge, kindness, and genuine investment in the families she works with are truly special. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will always be grateful for the care she showed our family.
