Testimonial for Christa Duquette CD(DONA), SBD, HCHD
Christa is absolutely fantastic - I’m so happy that we found her! From our very first meeting, straight through to our postpartum visit, I found her vibrant, attentive and knowledgeable. As a first time mom I had no idea what to expect during my birthing experience. I just knew I wanted to experience it full on and was going into it with an ‘I can do anything’ mindset. Christa fostered that whole heartedly and wanted nothing more than to help me have the birth experience I wanted. She asked me the important questions to figure out exactly where my head was at and I felt totally comfortable chatting with her about it - my hopes, my fears and all the little in betweens. More importantly though, she not only asked me, but also my mother and my husband - my team. My mother was especially nervous about me having a midwife and doula, rather than a obstetrician and nurse by my side. Christa eased all her fears. My labour came on very fast and Christa got to us as quickly as she could. As soon as she walked into the delivery room, the whole atmosphere shifted! Although I was in a lot of pain, her positive and calming personality brought me back to where I wanted to be - in the moment, with the experience and not in my head. She brought everyone in the room together and worked alongside my midwife as if they’d worked together regularly. She brought with her a birthing scarf that I don’t know if I could have made it through without. For real, that scarf made all the difference in the world for pushing! She even took photos of my baby girls birth that although I never knew I wanted at the time, couldn’t imagine not having, haha! With three babies of her own, Christa knows what it’s all about! She knew what I was experiencing throughout the delivery and somehow that brought me great piece of mind. I would recommend Christa to anyone!
