Testimonial for Lynn Christensen, CD(DONA), CLC, LCCE
After a relatively traumatizing birth with my first child, I knew that I needed a doula for my second. Lynn came highly recommended from a trusted mentor who knew that I wanted to attempt a VBAC for my second child. Lynn was incredibly supportive from the very beginning. She empowered me to find a supportive OB-GYN and switch to a new hospital. As we got closer to my due date, Lynn checked in with me routinely to help me stay focused, positive, and confident in my birth goals. We would often debrief my doctor visits and brainstorm ways to approach challenges that I encountered along the way. Lynn provided me with the tools I needed to advocate for myself before, during, and after my birth. At the hospital, Lynn advocated for me every step of the way, from admission to discharge. She coached me through the early stages of labor, held my hand through every push, and cheered for me when baby arrived. Throughout the journey, she communicated with the nurses and doctor and helped translate medical jargon into easy to understand language. Her strength, patience, and kindess allowed me to focus on the beauty of my second birth experience and allowed me to heal from so many of the traumas I had carried since my first. I know that she can do the same for other mothers and I would recommend her for anyone looking for a peaceful and rewarding birth experience.
