Christina is incredible! I'm a second time mom and my background is as a labor and delivery nurse, so when I was looking for a doula I was pretty picky and I knew I wanted someone with a lot of knowledge and experience who could be a resource and support me even though I already knew a lot. Christina fit the bill. She has been in the birth world for a long time and has a wide range of experience and connections. Throughout my pregnancy she met with me a couple times, would check in on me and I loved that she was able to do a bodywork session on me nearing the end of my pregnancy to help make sure my baby was in the optimal position. She was never bothered by my little updates as I was nearing the end of pregnancy and even when she had a lot on her plate, she always got back with me quickly.
When things changed at the end of my pregnancy and I had to change my birth place and get an induction she was so supportive and helped me with a game plan to still meet my goals. With my first baby I didn't have a doula and at 9cm I ended up getting an epidural because i just couldn't focus to make it through.
This time around with Christina's support, I was able to have the unmedicated birth that I wanted and she had so many helpful suggestions to help me along the way when things got intense. Not to mention, she also knew just how to support my physically when I wasn't even sure what I needed. She is confident, kind, strong, level headed, knowledgeable and professional. She supported me in my goals and also worked synergistically with the staff and my husband. My husband, who at the beginning of my pregnancy said he didn't think I needed a doula, said after the birth that he loved having Christina there and she did a great job :)
anyhow, I can not recommend Christina highly enough. I would 100% use her again. You will not regret investing in her services!
