Testimonial for Cristina Evans
We had a wonderful experience working with Cristina for the birth of our second child. From our first phone consultation, her calm, warm, personality put me at ease. I really appreciated how she listened and followed our lead, amplifying our birth wishes and validating our concerns, while helping us mentally prepare that this birth experience might look very different than our first. Before birth, she provided us with helpful resources - a research-based info packet, simple techniques I put into use for coping with pain during labor, even lending us a birthing ball. When I started laboring at home, she was supportive and followed our lead when we wanted to go to the hospital. Once she joined us at the hospital, I felt immediately more comfortable in our surroundings because of her encouragement, her touches to make the space more relaxing, and her experience with the facility and providers. She was just a wonderful advocate, able to ask for things we wouldn't know to ask for (warm blankets!) and helping us talk through care recommendations and suggest questions for us to ask when challenges arose. During late labor and delivery, she was the quiet voice I needed reminding me of my strength and capability. Postpartum, she checked in on us numerous times via text and home visits. I really appreciated that she showed concern for how our whole family was adjusting, and was someone I could talk to about parenting in general. She made us feel that she was a resource even once the official postpartum visits were concluded.
