Testimonial for Christine Goldman Redmond
Chris was WONDERFUL. I highly recommend hiring her to assist you with labor and delivery and general doula support.
We had just moved to the area before I had my baby, so Chris was about the only person I knew, and she really filled in that gap. She mothered me before the birth, during and after -- just what I needed.
Before the birth she took the time to get to know me and my desires for the birth and she helped me write a birth plan. She kept checking on me before my due date, and when the moment arrived, she was right there with me.
This was my first experience with a doula. I can't believe how much I was missing. Chris knew exactly how to rub my back and comfort me during the contractions. Her emotional and physical support immediately reduced my pain levels dramatically.
My midwife was busy assisting another woman, so Chris (and her trainee, who I loved too, and who I had okayed before the birth) were my pillars. My labor went so fast that Chris was ready to catch the baby when my midwife came running in, just in time. I credit the fast labor with her support!
Chris is a warm. loving person with a gentle manner. She clearly has a gift for caring for women and children. I highly recommend her!
