Testimonial for Christina Carino CD(DONA)
We found Christina through this website. My husband and I got very impressed by her and her knowledge as soon as we met her for the first time. Her advice on all aspects of the pregnancy, birth and recovery was always timely, professional and very helpful. We had two prenatal meetings with her during which she gave us a lot of helpful information and showed us many exercises that helped us a lot during delivery. She also spent a lot of time working with us on the birth plan. We informed her as soon as the water broke and she was on the phone with my husband on a constant basis giving him very helpful advice until she arrived. From the time she arrived she helped me a lot. She helped in setting up the bar for pushing, helped me into certain positions, and used all the equipment she brought (reboso, scarfs, birth balls, etc.) and made the process much easier. She worked very well with the nurse and doctors, and during moments of doubt especially when the doctors suggested intervention to quicken the labor, she assured me that I could handle the all-natural birth I wanted and I couldn’t have done it without her. She stayed with us after birth as long as we needed her. During the postnatal visit she advised us on nutrition, breastfeeding, baby massage for colic and she always kept in touch afterwards to check on us. We would very highly recommend Christina without any reservations.
