Testimonial for Christina Pruitt
When considering hiring a doula for our daughter's birth I knew I wanted someone with a calm demeanor who would play an active role and provide as much natural comfort as possibly during the labor process. Christina was just that for us. From the time she arrived at the hospital she made the room warm and cozy and was such a great encouragement as we went through the waves of contractions. She saw a need before I asked and was there to fill it, such as rubbing the knots out of my neck and back from a pinched nerve I've had for years and massaging my feet as I rested. It was very apparent her greatest goal was my comfort and the safety of both our baby and myself. Unfortunately, our birth did not go as planned and after about 50 ours of labor I chose to have an epideral. It was not the way I had planned but Christina was so supportive of our decision and continued to help set an atmosphere of peace for us and for our baby girl to arrive in. She truly was a source of comfort throughout the whole experience.
My husband also really appreciated her presence and knowledge as we navigated a birth we did not plan on. She helped give him the confidence to know what to do to help me through the contractions. He also was impressed and thankful for the knowledge she shared with us so that we could make wise and healthy decisions for our baby girl during and after delivery.
I also appreciated the way she interacted with and treated the nurses at the hospital. In a setting where Western Medicine meets holistic health it can be tricky to navigate but she does it with ease and actually ends up getting nurses excited about new things she shares with them.
I would 100% have her at our next birth if that so happened to be God's plan for our family!
