Testimonial for Christa Duquette CD(DONA), SBD, HCHD
My partner and I chose Christa almost immediatley after meeting her. We werent quite sure what a Doula could do for us, but after our intial meeting it was clear to us that we wanted a Doula. We learned so much from Christa and started to really feel prepared for birth, if thats even a thing. Although I ended up with a c-section birth, i cant imagine not having Christa there for its entirety. Becuase she is so well known in the area, the surgeon had no problems allowing her in the operating room with my partner. She was very vocal and talked me through everything they were doing. She was allowed to take pictures and she captured some really special moments of our daughters birth. She supported my partner while he bonded with our daughther while i was being sewn back up. Soon after we were joined as a family and again Christa captured it all on camera very discreetly and with tremendous respect. She stayed till we were comfortable and helped nursing begin.
Christa followed up with us about a week or so later and brought us gifts that will be treasured forever. A purple muslin balnket that my daughter totes around with her daily, a beautiful poem recounting the events leading up to the birth and the birth itself and lastly and certainly not least a slide show she created of all the photos she took accomapnied by a beautiful song. All of this was more than what we anticipated when we first met.
Its taken me almost 2 years to write this review becuase she deserves more than what words can provide. Being a Doula is a calling and there is no doubt that this is what Christa was meant to do with her life.
We thank you for being there for us.
Anne, Chris and Zenta.
