Testimonial for Kristina Waltman
We would highly recommend Kristina as a birth doula. She was professional, calm, collected, and flexible. We went from desiring a natural birth with little to no interventions to having a planned c-section due to our baby being breech. Kristina made it a habit of making sure our decisions were what we wanted, gave us new information and support when we had to adapt, was never judgemental or opinionated on what she thought we should do, and adapted to our plan alongside us. Thankfully she was allowed to be in the OR with us and was a big help when I had some troubles while they stitched me up and my husband was with our daughter. I'm so thankful for the all the photos she captured for us and her presence that morning. It was certainly not the birth we thought it would be or had hoped for but Kristina was encouraging, helpful, and supportive through all the changes.
Our meetings with her leading up to the birth were helpful as we critically thought about what was most important to us, what we were fearful of, and what we were excited about. She was always looking to set us up for success by supporting our knowledge and desires instead of being pushy or obtrusive with her own opinions.
She is knowledgeable, steady, and kind which was exactly what we were looking for in a doula. Hopefully Kristina can coach us through a vaginal birth in the future.
