Testimonial for christiane vermeersch
I am a first time mom with plenty of anxieties and Christing was great at listening and helping me prepare myself mentally and physically for the birth. Christine was the perfect Doula for us! Among the thigs we liked about her, she was very experienced and was really good at educating us in advance about all the options we would be presented with and possible situations we could find ourselves in. She also was very respectful of our desires and would provide education without judgement so as to not unnecessarily sway our decisions. We also appreciated her help reviewing our birth plan.
On the day of our birth, she was extremely supportive and brought lots of coping techniques including the use of her TENS unit, healing and relaxing massage, suggesting changes of position, and other strategies that helped me cope with contractions and get through the birth without the use of pain medication. She even had tricks up her sleeve that we didn't end up needing, like she brought a birthing ball to the hospital just in case we wanted to use it.
She was also really good at fitting in as a member of our birth team, working will with my husband and me, and also the midwife and hospital staff at KP Redwood City. And she did a wonderful job of creating the perfect environment (perfect for me at least) in the birth room, helping us keep the lights and sounds to a minimum and the aromas therapudic.
We would 100% recommend her to any of our friends! We feel like we had the perfect birth and Christine's support was a huge contributing factor.
