Cristina was everything we needed. She helped us prepare not only for labor, but for the days after as well. She supported me and pointed me in the right direction when I felt midway through that I wanted to change from and OB to a midwife. She provided an amazing binder full of resources that empowered me to make decisions about the baby's care after birth. She also gave us a book about building our nest which put me on to the fact you can have in home pediatrician visits and helped us find one. We officially met 3 times before giving birth but she was always available to chat with me whenever questions came up. I felt really empowered, knowledgeable, and super supported going in to labor. I got to the hospital only 30 minutes before I had my baby. We beat Cristina there by a few minutes. There was a distinct change when Cristina entered the room. She brought with her a calm yet strong knowing presence. When she stepped in to give labor support I could tell an immediate difference. She knew exactly where and what pressure to apply to help with the opening of the birth canal and it was no time before I was pushing. With our permission she took video and pictures during the birth and I can't tell you how much I have loved those! And then she had touch points with me postpartum where again she was an amazing support and resource. She even made my sweet boy a blanket as a gift which he uses daily. I really can't say enough great things about Cristina. She has a kind and gentle spirit. She is super super knowledgeable. One of the things I loved so much about her was she is a great listener and she never pushes her agenda but rather listens to the desires of your heart and does all she can to support those. She is wonderful!
