Testimonial for Lynn Christensen, CD(DONA), CLC, LCCE
Choosing a doula can feel like a completely overwhelming task. For my husband and I, we wanted someone with experience—but someone who wasn’t so experienced that they were jaded and “over it”; someone who would help guide us—but not take so much charge that they would take over “our" experience. We wanted someone who we both felt equally comfortable with, and, although not a deal breaker, we preferred them to be familiar with our delivery team. For us, Lynn Christensen ticked off all these boxes.
Ultimately, two things that are in short supply during labor are calm and patience. Lynn provided us with both of those to lead us through our (uncharacteristically long) 38-hour labor! In the end, our delivery didn’t go according to plan, but she helped guide us through the unforeseen roadblocks. As first-time parents, we found both comfort and answers in Lynn’s experience, making our extra-long and sometimes scary process a little more manageable.
Where Lynn has proved herself even more valuable, though, has been her insight post-birth. Being new parents, there have been numerous occasions where we still find ourselves leaning on Lynn’s extensive knowledge, as well as that calm and patience. It has been comforting and reassuring to know that some of the answers to the puzzling world of newborns have been just a text or phone call away. In the end, it wasn’t just Mike and myself that benefited from having Lynn as our doula, but our sweet new daughter as well!
Thank you from the three of us!
