Testimonial for Krissie Oliver
I had a really wonderful birth experience, and I'm grateful for Krissie's presence throughout. In the months leading up to the birt, Krissie was helpful in sharing information and giving us space to process and discuss our preferences and hopes. She was a really great advocate and helped us to be aware of our options and make informed decisions throughout the birth process. She was just the right amount of hands-on and helpful, and she also took a step back and gave us space when we needed it.
I was induced and it could have been a much more stressful and difficult birth situation without Krissie, but she helped us navigate the whole process and helped me feel confident, cared for, and supported throughout. Having a familiar face that we had built trust with in the delivery room as an advocate was extremely valuable. Krissie could make suggestions or make us aware of resources and options so that we could make the most informed decisions. Along with that, she was very neutral and had the right bedside manner. She was not pushy or overbearing, and she knew when to step in and help and when to take a step back and give us space. I never felt like she pulled my focus, but rather that her contributions allowed us to confidently and calmly focus on the birth, knowing someone was there to help support us through the process.
I was really nervous about giving birth, especially about being induced (a medical necessity). I did a lot of emotional work and mental preparation to work on that fear so that I could go into the birth with confidence, optimism, and positivity. Krissie helped me with that perspective, and she helped me manage my expectations and my anxieties. I walked away feeling really empowered and confident in my body's ability to give birth (and honestly, my initial hope was to just survive the whole thing, so I walked away with way more than I thought I ever could!)
