Testimonial for Joann Christensen
As a first time mom, almost reaching my 40s and with very little family support, I was limited with whom to share my deep joy, fears and excitement about my pregnancy. It wasn't a sure thing that I would have ever been able to be a mom and now that it has become a reality I know in my heart that having Joann by my side before birth (prenatally), during my labour, and after (for two postpartum visits) was a blessing. Joann was pivotal in my birth story and in giving me a positive experience. Joann has a youthful spirit that compliments her personal and professional expertise and competence. She is without a doubt capable. Joann was resourceful in answering my questions and providing me with educational resources about all of my questions or concerns, anywhere from belly wraps to prenatal massage and more. More importantly, she was reliable, positive and non-judgmental. She sought to provide me with knowledge and perspective that matched my wishes. She was quick to respond to her emails, text messages and phone calls and was prompt at all of her visits with me. With all of that being said, she was extremely important during my labour. She acted as an advocate for me and my husband and helped us in our decision-making when time was limited. I am so grateful I made the decision to have her by my side. Thank you!
