Testimonial for christiane vermeersch
I met Christine at a Meet the Doulas event. I choose her as my birth doula, due to her calm nurturing presence and her knowledge of labor and delivery. She explained how she watches for a woman’s behavior during labor instead of focusing on cervical dilation, which made more sense to me. During prenatal visits with Christine, she took her time to talk to my husband and me and to answer all of our questions. I never felt like she was in a hurry or on the clock. I was on the fence about having an epidural, but did have some concerns that it would slow down labor and increase the amount of interventions. To my surprise, I did not end up needing an epidural or even an IV. I was able to give birth naturally in the hospital, and I don’t think I could have done it without Christine. Christine used a TENS unit, a labor link, massage, aromatherapy, coaching, breathing techniques, and encouragement, which all helped me have a positive birth experience with minimal discomfort. And it’s obvious that this is what she truly wants for all of her clients.
