Testimonial for Lynn Christensen, CD(DONA), CLC, LCCE

We had an amazing experience working with Lynn. My husband and I were transparently on the fence of wanting a doula - meeting Lynn was the difference making in seeing how valuable having a doula on your birth team was, especially as first time parents. Here are the main highlights of why we loved working with Lynn:

1) She is focused on the goals that you want to achieve with relevant fact based evidence - many women have different desires of how they want their birth experience to be and she was great at sharing additional informed and evidence based considerations for my choices. Valued especially her focus on lactation as well because it was an important goal of mine (and worried about especially because many of my friends said it was tough).

2) Responsive in communication with great energy - calm presence before and during the birth - extremely responsive via text/calls so I never felt alone and was a great sounding board to sift through all the information out there on the Internet/friends giving advice. During the birth, she was great at working with the doctors, nurses, and my partner to make sure it was an especially smooth delivery with what I wanted (delayed cord clamping, no medical students, making sure I drank enough water, taking care of me and my partner, partner cutting my umbilical cord). I felt like we were all a team vs. us against the hospital/provider and we felt like we were in control/aware of the delivery experience vs things happening to us without our knowledge.

3) Encouraging attitude - during the birth I really appreciated her giving me a lot of positive affirmation while I was pushing and contracting - as a first time mom I didn't know what i was doing was 'right'. Having someone verbalize and give cues on my progress gave me a postive mindset and helped me focus on being excited to meet my baby
