I had an amazing birthing experience with Cristina. She was receptive, caring, comforting, and overall made my experience a great one. I am a mother of two and my birthing experience with my first child did not go at all the way I wanted. I felt as if no one listened to anything that I wanted or needed for me to feel confident in the birth. I told Cristina about my first experience and she promised that this time around it would be completely different, it definitely was. Everything I expressed that I wanted in my birthing plan, she made sure she was 100% on board to help in any way. Shemade sure that my wants, needs, and desires were heard. During labor she made it such a calm and soothing environment. When Ifelt like I couldn't take the pain anymore, she assured me that I was "rocking this birth" and it made me want to knock out this next round of contractions. In the midst of the chaos, she reminded me of things that I strongly wanted during the birth that I'd completely forgotten about. She stayed by my side the entire time and made sure that I was comfortable ever step of the way. After the birth, she continues to check on us even after her services were met and over. Everything that I needed and wanted for this birth happened with a very large thanks due to Cristina. She was overall amazing and I couldnt have asked for a better doula. Next time around I wouldn't want anyone else to help me through my pregnancy and birth!
