First and foremost, words can not express how grateful i am for finding Christine. There was something about Christine from the very first conversation that resonated with my spirit and said that she is "the one" for us. Everything about Christine's demeanor and approach to birth is amazing. From the start she was open, attentive and truly listened to my wants, expectations and needs for this birth. And since, this was my fourth birth but first homebirth...i needed someone who would follow my lead and intuit exactly what i needed throughtout labor...and Christine did exactly that! She was there waiting, watching and listening to me as I labored. She respected my boundaries and need for completely privacy in the beginning stages. She let me labor the way i wanted from the beginning and was able to step in at the right moment to aide me when things started to get rough. She held my hand and whispered words of strength and encouragement to get get me thru each contration. Knowing Christine was there solely for me during the hardest patrs of labor was very reassuring. Christine was totally focused on me...and it felt awesome. She came prepared with her "bag of tricks" that included a TENS unit to help with back labor, aromatherapy and homeopathic aids and a birth ball...all of which helped me. And not only was Christine great with me, she was fantastic with my three children and reassured them as labor got intense. She even talked to my son, who was crying amd scared, until he fell asleep. Simply put Christine is a godsend !
