Testimonial for Christina Carino CD(DONA)
Christina is the epitome of a Doula. From the beginning to the very end, she always made herself available to me from answering questions and providing research materials and information to even being there for me when I had an episode of pre-term labor. I never felt that I was a client, but a friend/family member. It was that personal connection that put me at ease from the very beginning.
Christina and I share many similar interests when it comes to parenting especially where childbirth is concerned. We both have delivered babies at the same hospital that promotes water births. We both believe in delivering babies in the most natural setting and without medical intervention. Who better help you in labor than a woman that has experienced it for herself.
I went into labor very early in the morning, following New Years Day! Christina was ready and at the hospital in no time, considering the weather was terrible, snow and blizzard like conditions! She arrived minutes before I did, with birthing ball in hand!
Christina took charge immediately. This was my third birth but first with back labor. Christina knew exactly what to do to ease my pain and contraction after contraction she never left my side. She was extremely knowlegable with different laboring positions and various methods of pain control. I have successfully delivered two babies without any pain medication but this time around with back labor...I would NEVER have been successful without Christina's assistance.
I can not stress how great she was! Besides having the knowledge and experience to be a great support person during labor, her attention to detail was impecable. Every single wish that I detailed in my birth plan Christina made sure was fulfilled, going above and beyond of what was expected of her.
Christina made the birth of my third child a memorable experience. I consider Christina part of my family! If you need a doula, she is the ONE!!!!
