We hired Cristina as our doula during the COVID pandemic. Despite doing our pre-birth appointments virtually, she was very easy to connect with and a great rapport was established. In addition to our scheduled meetings, Cristina made herself available whenever something surfaced -- which can happen often in pregnancy! Working with Cristina made me felt informed & empowered that I could have a natural birth despite having never done it before. This was my first pregnancy after a prior pregnancy loss & Cristina was extremely supportive in this aspect both in preperation for my labor and during labor. I ended up having an emergency c-section, and Cristina was able to quickly adapt to my emotional needs as well as the needs of my fiance. After my traumatic delivery (and an additional surprise surgery a few weeks later) Cristina was very present, constantly checking in and offering support. Despite COVID restricting our interactions, and my delivery deviating from our original birth plan, my experience with Cristina was nothing but positive. She has such a warm, welcoming presence that is so compatible with a labor and delivery experience. I would reccomend her for any birth experience!
