Testimonial for christiane vermeersch
Having Christine at my birth was the best decision I could have made and made my first birth experience much less stressful than it might have been. Her warm, caring, gentle presence put me and my husband at ease and she was always available to answer questions before, during and after the birth of our daughter. I would describe her as the motherly presence that you want at your birth. She will be with you every step of the way and will be as hands on or off as you need and has amazing intuition to know just what you need and when.
Leading up to the birth I made the decision that I wanted a fully natural birth. I spent months preparing for this and discussed extensively with Christine how she could help me stick with this decision during labor. When I went through transition and felt the strongest contractions and started to feel like I could not continue without pain medication she never once said I could not have them but she continued to remind me how close I was to meeting my daughter and how I did not have long to go before I could feel relief from labor. It was hard but without her steady presence and calm reminders I would not have been able to have the completely natural birth that I so wanted. She also gave us things to do leading up to the birth to prepare my body to birth naturally and I was able to remember these during early labor and they were very helpful.
Just having someone so knowledgeable and there for me whenever I needed her and came to visit me before, during and after the birth made me feel supported and cared about. I would ask Christine in a heartbeat to be at my next birth. She was a huge help not just to me but to my husband, sister and mother who were all concerned about my wellbeing. Plus she makes you feel like you are the only mother she is caring for and that is special.
