Testimonial for Christa Duquette CD(DONA), SBD, HCHD
This was my second child and I was very unsure about whether a doula would be necessary since we had been through this once already. When I met with Christa a lot of my negative feelings about my first experience came flooding back. Feeling like I had no control and having to argue with my caretakers when I was the most vulnerable. I felt like my wishes didn't matter and my doctor wanted to use interventions only for convenience. My first experience did go very well but I had to fight for it and I didn't want to have to fight the second time. Christa made me feel like my experience was just as important as mine and my daughters well being. I found her to be quite knowledgeable and she stays very calm under pressure. She was always kind and hands on when I needed her to be. My partner even mentioned how he felt a lot less stressed when she got there and she was able to help guide him on how he could help me. Although we had experience and had taken classes a lot of that is forgotten when you are in the moment but Christa was there this time to remind us. With her help I was able to have the most empowering birth I could have imagined. I felt in control and was always informed on what was going on. I went into this expecting a fight but instead I was surrounded by support and I couldn't be more thankful to Christa for making my environment calm and relaxed. - Jodi and Andrew
