Anyone would agree that laboring is a very intimate & vulnerable experiecne. It's so important to have someone you trust & enjoy by your side. Christie hit all the marks for us. She is a mom, a former nurse and a Bradley Birth coach. Talkabout the trifecta of L&D knowledge! She was able to guide me in so many ways! As a mom herself, I found comfort in the fact that she personally knew the process, the pain and achievement of what I was going through during labor. Her medical background gave her the ability to speak to things some doula's might not be able to fully. She could really explain things in laymens terms. Since I do not have really any medical knowledge, I struggled with understanding the definitions, risk and benefits and needs vs wants of certain western medical practices. Christie's love is profound. Her passion for her mama's &the birthing process is intense. Its exactly the kind of intsenity you want! When Christie reaches out to check on you - it wasn't just about the pregnancy process but to check on YOU&your overall wellbeing. Her ability to connect w/ me through labor really helped me stay focused &confident. I found her to be the 1st person I wanted to reach out to before, during & after the labor process.In addition, one of the characteristics I loved about Christie was her ability to read a room, & speak confidently yet, politely to staff. Christie has a true ability to advocate for you because she can read faces without even having to ask for help. She's intune with her mama's and she was a beautiful & elogent way of being able to process that information and share it professionally with the medical staff to ensure they're honoroing your wishes and making you the most comfortable.
I wish I could hire Christie for every mama to be I know. She was an amazing part of our birth experince and I wouldn't ever want to do it without her.
