Testimonial for Christine Potter
It's hard to describe in words an experience that left me speechless. My husband and I found Christine on this site several months ago as we prepared for our first child. We were struck by how many people said that Christine really genuinely cared and gave them such unique, intentional, and kind care. We had no clue the challenges that awaited us, challenges that she would see us through. First it was Covid-19 and hospital lockdowns. Most places wouldn't allow a second support person so we knew even early on that we'd do whatever we could to find a place that would allow Christine to stay on our team. Her calm demeanor, knowledge and passion for childbirth had already convinced us that she was essential to our plan. Then came gestational hypertension on week 38. We had to switch from a midwife center birth to a hospital birth, find new doctors, and head in for an unplanned induction. Having a child is scary Enough, much less one that deviates so drastically from what you'd envisioned, topped off with serious health concerns. Christine drove 2.5 hours to our new delivery room. She stayed overnight. She was with us almost 36 hours due to the unique nature of our birth. She not only made sure I was OK but also gave much needed support to my husband. And she never complained. Never showed any sign of anything but positivity. Her encouragement and steady presence turned what could have been a truly terrible experience into one that still delivered beauty, laughter, peace, bonding, and a tiny miracle - our baby girl. Not to mention, Christine captured it all so wonderfully with her camera. We truly can not recommend her enough. Having her by your side will be the best decision you make for your birth next to having your child. Thank you, Christine!
