Christine Vermeersch is an amazing doula. She was absolutely crucial during the birth of our son in April. Our little boy decided to arrive about 3.5 weeks early! There were many things we had not finished setting up for the birth of our son but we are so glad we had decided on Christine as our doula. The arrival of our son was sudden and things were changing rather rapidly during labor and it was Christine's expert and calm guidance that helped us through the process. She arrived at our house within 30-45 minutes of calling her. She was very well prepared with all the necessary equipment to help support the labor process - including coconut water for mom (this was just the right energy booster for mom during labor - something we had not thought about before). Christine also knew the right time to go to the hospital - we arrived there not too early and not too late! Her presence in the hospital was really calming and reassuring. There were many times we turned to her for advice when interventions were suggested and she did not disappoint. Her suggestions for posture and massages were what helped with labor since most of the traditional positions did not help. Mom, dad (and grandma) could not have had such a wonderful, natural birth process without Christine's help. Christine also had many suggestions for the weeks before birth to help prepare for labor. We were not fully able to take advantage of those, however, since our son came early! We highly recommend Christine to any one who is looking for an expert, calm, resourceful and friendly doula.
