Just thinking about writing about my experience with Christine, brings tears to my eyes. I'm still in awe at the fact that I did it! What I loved about Christine, was that she made me feel like we had been close friends for years, all while still being professional and respectful. I had a very rough labor and delivery with my son, and it wasn't until I knew that Christine was my doula that I began to look forward to doing it again! I wanted that natural birthing experience, and thanks to my caring doula, that's exactly what I had. I have horrible anxiety, every time I questioned myself and was feeling it, she helped me relax and be confident! she helped my husband be involved and helped us bond, we even danced, and joked around while I was 8cm dilated! A girl who struggles with anxiety dancing and laughing during labor?! That's what you get with this amazing doula! One of the things that really came in handy was having a code word in case i needed pain meds. Having the freedom to express my discomfort and to say I want pain meds without truly wanting them, helped me feel in control when I started feeling like I wasn't. Those powerful words, reminding me to let my body guide me, I can't believe I did it until I remember all that Christine did to guide me! I have never felt so safe with someone I just met a few months ago, thank you so for your passion and dedication to helping women get such an unforgettable experience during such a significant event in life. It is because of the wonderful doula that you are, that I can remember that I can go beyond what I think my body is capable of when I believe. This birthing experience will be one of my fondest memories, what a blessing you are! If you are thinking about hiring a doula for your next pregnancy, do it and make sure it's Christine! This woman is one of a kind and with her as your doula you will get the most beautiful birthing experience and you will learn so much more about yourself during!
