Testimonial for Christine Halldorson, CD (DTI), CBE
We were fortunate to have Chrissy's support for both of our kiddo's pregnancies and births. With our first, I wanted to try for a med-free birth so working with a doula just made sense to me. We met with a few who were plenty nice but just didn't click with us. After meeting Chrissy, we knew she'd be an invaluable help in planning for a med-free experience, but also felt she was super supportive and knowledgeable on interventions too. I had two somewhat rough pregnancies and Chrissy was not only a supportive ear but was a wealth of knowledge with resources and connections ranging from chiropractors to acupuncturists to massage therapists. My first labor went incredibly fast and Chrissy is pretty much the only reason he wasn't born at home. While my OB was telling me to stay home, she instantly knew (from a phone call, no less) that I was progressing quickly and encouraged us to go. It was chaotic and somewhat traumatic but Chrissy (who beat us to the hospital!) was a calming & reassuring voice despite it all. With our second, I decided on an elective induction and did get an epidural and she was just as supportive and helpful throughout the both the decision making process and the actual birth experience. She's helpful in those early postpartum days, with breastfeeding questions, and is just overall a sweet person who totally "gets" it when you're feeling like a hormonal mess. If you want an extra person on your side as you navigate pregnancy, labor & delivery, I can't recommend her enough!
