Testimonial for Kristin Momene
My partner and I are so grateful to have had Kristin's support and advocacy during the labor and birth of our daughter. Kristin centred my desire to have a birth free of interventions and supported me practically and emotionally to stay at home for the majority of my labor before giving birth at BC Women's. She helped me make informed decisions throughout my labor that supported my agency and desires as a birthing person. Her guidance allowed me to lean into the intuitive and embodied aspects of labor that often become sidelined in medical contexts. She always centred the relationship between my partner and I, providing my partner practical and emotional support that allowed him to be a central part of our child's birth. I am also deeply grateful for the conversations we had after my daughter was born, particularly the support Kristin gave me around my approach to breastfeeding. When I think about my labor now, I remember my partner and Kristin's constant presence and support, not the many other staff who come and go during the process.
