Chris is a very warm and caring person, but also extremely professional. She took the time to get to know us before the birth so that she would be able to help us in ways unique to our marriage and our family.
We hired Chris for the birth of our second child, and we did not have a doula first time around. My first birth was much more physically difficult, and I ended up with pitocin, an epidural, episiotomy and vacuum. I had none of the three this time around, and gave birth with no drugs at all - and my recovery has been much easier than the first time. Both of my babies came out "sunny side up," which is physically challenging, but this time around we had Chris to guide us on positioning and ways to help the baby out in the smoothest way possible.
Having Chris there also allowed my husband to stay by my side the whole time and guide me through every contraction. She allowed him to be an even better support to me, and that made the whole process so much nicer for us both. We strongly recommend Chris to anyone!
