Testimonial for Kristie Ellison
I found Kristie through a random internet search. I had no idea what I was looking for in a doula, but I knew I was going to need a lot of encouragement and reassurance when it came to bringing my first baby into the world. Kristie was knowledgeable, professional, down-to-earth, and patient with all of our questions. She was even gracious enough travel outside of her usual working area since we lived so far north. She came to our house and gave us our own "private" birth class, attended a midwife appt with me, and never minded me texting her questions.
I thought I was super grateful for her before my labor, and then labor happened! Kristie drove over (twice!) and went through early labor with me. Her gentle words and touch were reminders to breathe easy, stay calm and relaxed, and trust my body. My labor ended up taking over 30 hours total and I honestly don't think that I would have been able to stick to my birth plan without her support and advocacy. Now that my son is here, she has continued to be kind and available to answer more paranoid "first time mom" questions. I refer every pregnant friend I have to Kristie! She was integral to my having a perfect (even if not easy) birth. She is so close to my <3
