Testimonial for Cristina Evans
My husband and I had interviewed several different doulas and when we met Cristina something just clicked, she has a great presence. She is calm, comforting, and attentive. Cristina provided an abudance of documents and information to me and my husband to help us through our last few weeks of pregnancy and also gear up to be first time parents. She called, texted, or emailed us just enough (but not too much) to check in since our baby girl came 9 days late.
When my husband let Cristina know we were headed to the hospital, she was there within an hour. I had a GRUELING 36 hours of natural labor before getting an epidural and ultimately a c-section; Cristina was literally by our side the entire time. She was patient, reassuring, and helped me to understand we had tried every option possible to get our baby into this world naturally and it unfortunately did not happen. She dealt with my screaming, aching, labor and never flinched. She rounded out our "team" perfectly. The nurses and our doctor at the hospital loved her as well! She was able to provide everyone updates and keep us all on track.
Cristina provided me the strength and courage to get through the labor as long as I did. She provided reassurance that we were doing everything possible, she provided comfort and confidence to my husband to help talk me through contractions. She was able to remind us of our plan and be an advocate for us as needed. I never felt judged by Cristina for the decisions I made during labor and we never felt rushed, even through the night when she was unable to sleep.
Cristina photographed the first few hours of our daughters birth, including in the OR. I never knew how special those photos would ultimately be to our family but they are invaluable.
Cristina will forever more be apart of our story, I would highly recommend anyone else have her be apart of yours.
