I am SO grateful to have had Kristie as my doula for the birth of mine and my husband's second baby. I was able to have a successful vbac experience and I owe a large part of that success to Kristie. There were a handful of specific times that because of Kristie's knowledge and dedication to my birth plan hopes that I was able to have a vbac. When my baby presented transverse at 40 weeks, she spent an afternoon/evening helping me to perform various movements to encourage baby to turn head down on her own. When I went into my appointment the next day for a version baby was presenting head down! I also had a failed induction, but Kristie supported and encouraged my husband and I throughout that experience. I had a second induction and during that time when my doctor said I was not progressing fast enough and would need to consider a c-section, Kristie helped me to once again perform multiple movements that resulted in progression and I was no longer in need of a c-section. Throughout 30+ hours of labor and delivery Kristie was nothing but supportive, kind, encouraging, and knowledgeable. My husband and I could not have been more grateful for Kristie!! We highly recommend her to anyone considering having a doula! When we talk about the birth of our daughter my husband and I are always commenting how we could not have done it without Kristie!
