Testimonial for Christina Pruitt
I do not want to go through labor again without Christina alongside me. I highly recommend her! She was and still is an incredible support person for me. Finding Christina was truly a gift. Walking through this time of COVID has been a unique experience for both pregnancy and birth, especially for my first. When I knew that Christina would not be able to be with us at the hospital, we switched to a home birth. That speaks to who she is as both a person and a doula. I did not want to do this without her. We are so thankful for Christina’s support through all the parts and pieces even leading up to labor but especially the day of. My labor was not easy, I will just say that--and Christina was integral in me being able to endure as long as I did. She was so encouraging, her demeanor so calm and her presence alone just gave me confidence. I was able to labor in the comfort of my home with incredible support.
I experienced back labor early on that lasted throughout my entire labor and she was able to alleviate the pressure on my back and give relief. She also coached my husband on how to help me through that. She was not only an incredible support to me but also to him. We ended up having to transfer to the hospital at the end of labor. If Christina was not with me, I would have had to transfer a lot earlier and my experience could have been very different. Because of her help in putting together a birth plan and helping me educate myself in the goals I had for my birth experience, we were able to advocate for ourselves during that time. She even talked with us on the phone and helped guide us and encourage us through some chaotic moments and decisions once at the hospital. I am so grateful for her and I know that anyone who has her as their doula will feel the same way.
Christina started as a doula I was referred to and is now a forever friend to our family!
