Testimonial for Christine Economou Olson
Chris is a true embodiment of the word doula, a woman of service. After our initial meeting, I knew she was the one to help support our family. Chris has a way of making you feel instantly comfortable and creates a space where you can have conversations with out being judged on your birth preferences. Her mission is to support you in the best way that is unique to each person. Chris has a wealth of knowledge from her life experiences and career. She also has an amazing resource list, I was in need of some bodywork and she connected me to a chiropractor and massage therapist specializing in prenatal care. If you have concerns she will instantly reach out to her network to get you the information. I wasn't sure which breast pump to get and how to introduce our dogs to our baby. She reached out to professionals to provide me with the best options. I have never had someone go above and beyond to provide me the level of care and support I needed the way she did.
Chris truly shines in the moments building up to birth. I had a long labor and Chris was there to not only relieve a lot of my pain, but made it possible so my husband could take breaks as well. I look back on my birth so fondly because of moments Chris made beautiful. She is proactive from helping massage tension away, to holding a calming essential oil under your nose to help you go deeper in breathing, to hydration. She is a natural with people, Chris keeps the calm and peace present.
She is a true champion for your birthing process and beyond. Chris knew my biggest goal was to be able to breastfeed my son. I was having trouble getting him to latch and she made time to come over multiple times and help teach me.
I am forever grateful to Chris. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed! I did not know it was possible to feel so heard and seen, having Chris by my side is what made this experience so memorable and beautiful.
