Testimonial for Cristina Evans
I am a first time mom and I am so glad that we were able to have Cristina as our doula. We met with her once in person and once virtually. Our third prenatal meeting was scheduled, but the baby came first. Cristina has such a calming presence to her that makes you feel comfortable right away and it was easy getting to know her. She is non-judgemental and when I had questions she made sure to provide extra resources. She was always available when I had other questions and concerns outside of our meetings and she always made sure to check in frequently.
When it came to delivery day Cristina was right there with us shortly after we were admitted into a room. She helped me labor through a great portion of my labor suggesting new positions, reminding me of techniques that we discussed in our meetings, affirming what I was doing was great, and supporting Lionel. Unfortunately, a circumstance came up and she could not stay for the whole labor and delivery, but she made sure to have another doula whom she trusted to fill in for her and she didn't leave us until her replacement arrived ensuring that we were in good hands. Even though she was away, Cristina made sure to check in constantly, communicating with my partner, and visited us at the hospital when she could after we delivered.
Postpartum, Cristina was just as great checking in on the family and made two in person postpartum visits. Being new to motherhood and breastfeeding there were a lot of obstacles and some moments where I was feeling down on myself, but Cristina always had great advice and was supportive. I would highly recommend Cristina to anyone who needed that extra support during their pregnancy because she was instrumental in my experience and I couldn't have done it without her.
