Christi is an excellent Doula and excellent friend. She is calm and sweet. She was my doula for my last birth a 10.5 lb baby birthed at home, it was my hardest birth yet, my first home birth was twins (not in this state). I was expecting it to be as easy as my first birth but that was not the case. Christy helped remind me of necessities; drinking, breathing, changing positions, elimination, while also creating counter pressure, offering cold rags, and tons of encouragement. She let me do my thing if I wanted quiet she gave me quiet, but was not afraid to speak up if she felt something else might work better. Even when I decided I was going to the hospital (but couldn't even get dressed without contracting a couple times, she supported me, though I didn't actually make it to the hospital I had to lay down after trying to get dressed and baby arrived about 30 min or an hour after that. Christi is very knowledgable about birth and optimal positions. If I have another, I would defiantly use her again. Allison
