Testimonial for Kristina Nielsen | Birth Doula & Photography Available
I can’t imagine having gone through the childbirth experience without a doula, and I am so glad ours was Kristina! She stuck by our side for over 24 hours in a physically/emotionally taxing and complicated labor/delivery. Whenever my brain was stuck in “what I’m doing isn’t working” and couldn’t move into troubleshooting and solutioning, Kristina was especially helpful with 1) recognizing this and 2) prompting a plethora of things to do. We did a bath, TENS, rebozo, massage, countless position changes with various equipment (pre- and in bed with an epidural), and more! We wouldn’t have done a fraction of these things without Kristina (and my partner realistically wouldn’t have had the stamina to massage and use a massage gun on me for as long as Kristina did!). I’m confident that some of my experiences could have easily been traumatic, and I thank Kristina for helping to prevent that and actually allow me to walk away with a positive outlook on my labor and delivery. That in itself is worth everything when looking back at my childbirth experience… Along with the photos I never knew I wanted but will now cherish forever!! I am beyond grateful for Kristina’s compassion, knowledge, and physical/emotional strength.
