Testimonial for Christina Perry
Going into this pregnancy (my second) my husband and I knew that we wanted birth to go differently than it did with our first. I had a lot of fear that I would be nudged in a certain direction that I didn't want to go (repeat C- section). So, my first step was to look into getting a doula. We found Christina through a friend who recommended her and we knew it was a good match for us; she displayed empathy and knowledge that immediately made us feel at ease with our decision. Choosing her as our doula was one of the best decisions we made throughout our journey.
She was there checking in on me during my entire pregnancy, available for any questions I had, and supportive when I needed a little push to speak up on certain topics. She answered all of my husbands questions when she did the home visits prior to me having the baby and that allowed him to feel more confident when I was going into labor.
Having her by our side during labor was transformative! I truly do not think I would have had the amazing experience I did had she not been there. Christina had such a calming presence, a soothing voice through contractions, and she made me feel like I COULD do it when I felt like i absolutely could not make it through the natural birth I wanted. She ensured our preferences were honored while also giving us insight and helpful comfort measures while at the hospital.
Beyond the labor and birth experience Christina came to the house postpartum and checked in with us, wrote a birth story for me, and talked through the entire experience. 8 months later and the birth story is still hanging on the fridge and I read it frequently. Having her as our doula made us feel like we had someone we trusted to advocate for us when needed and to celebrate our journey into becoming parents to another little boy. We will forever be grateful for the positive impact she had on our family.
