Testimonial for christiane vermeersch
I recommend Christine to everyone I meet who is pregnant and looking for a doula, so I figured it is time to write a review here as well. Christine was everything we were hoping to find in a doula: she has this warm, positive energy that I bet makes her an excellent mom. Despite having a seemingly quite full schedule, she never made us feel rushed in our prenatal sessions – in fact, through my whole third trimester, she made me feel like I was her top priority.
Christine knows a lot about birth and pregnancy, and she knows a lot about what goes on in the local hospitals. With her guidance and timely tips, I felt like I was able to make the best decisions for myself, for instance, in choosing a hospital. Christine is excellent at offering advice in a non-intrusive and respectful manner.
I had a feeling that I would have a very fast labor based on previous experience, and this created a lot of anxiety for me. Christine took my concern very seriously. Although my labor with this second baby was fast at less than an hour, Christine was at the hospital with me hours before my labor even started. She had her car packed with everything she needed for my birth weeks before my baby was born, so she could hightail it to the hospital when the time came - that is just how awesome she is. She used some special massage techniques that made the labor feel more managable, and I gave birth with no pain medication, as I had hoped.
The only way I will consider having a third child is if Christine can be my doula again. I am only semi-joking.
