Testimonial for Christine Yates

As a first time mother, I am so grateful to have had Christine as a vital part of my birth experience support team (along with my husband and sister). I felt comfortable with her immediately beginning with our first meeting and was especially impressed that she has pre- and post natal doula experience. From the prep sessions to my birth experience our connection and trust with Christine continued to flourish. She made herself reachable throughout the process for simple to complex questions and her wide range of experience gave my husband and I context and confidence as we prepared for the birth of our son.

She shared coping techniques with us ahead of time and gave us the opportunity to practice some of the tips and tricks so that when it came time for my (long) labor we were comfortable working through different positions. Having her in the room helped relieve our anxiety as she kept us informed throughout labor of what was going on, and was quick to update nurses of any changes or concerns I was experiencing. Having a trusted advocate present allowed my husband and I to focus on us. I also appreciated her healing touch, especially the hand, neck and lower back massages. She has a keen sense of intuition and gave us our space when we needed it and was present in all the right moments, while supporting us every step of the way.

After our son was born, she came to our house for a post natal night shift which was such a gift. She is a baby whisperer knowing our little one was in good hands I was able to get some quality rest. She also offered breast feeding tips as well as other newborn tips that we use to soothe our son.

She was so wonderful to have (and continue to have) by our side and I'd highly recommend Christine after our experience.
