Testimonial for Christine Jennings
From the moment we met with Christine over coffee it felt very comfortable and familiar. Two very good and important qualities for someone who will in relatively short time go from total stranger to attending your birth! I didn't even really know for certain that I wanted/needed a doula, but I can say now in hindsight, it was a very smart decision. Having Christine at both of our births gave me a level of comfort and confidence that I'm sure would not have been possible without her. Having a person who is there and 100% devoted to you (and sometimes your partner!) from the beginning contractions right until your baby arrives is invaluable. There may be one or many other medical professionals involved in your birth, but the truth is no one is looking out for you through calm eyes like your Doula. My husband and I both greatly benefited from Christine's calm energy, her encouragement and coaching and at the right moment knowing when you need a chance of scenary. There are so many unknowns heading in a birth, and things may not go as planned, but I felt some level of comfort knowing that the things I could control I did, and having a Doula by our side was a big one.
Christine works well in a hospital setting (birth #1) and at the Birth Centre (birth #2). Both my doctors and nurses, and then midwife were complimentary of Christine's style of support and were happy to have her work alongside them. Plus as an added bonus she will literally hand feed you perfectly sized peanut butter toast while you snuggle and nurse your new baby!
