I had the honour of having Christina by my side for my most recent pregnancy and delivery. Having a history of very stressful pregnancies and traumatic deliveries, this time around I felt like it was important to have as much positivity and support as possible. I reached out to several doulas in the city, none which I connected with and I felt a bit defeated. A coworker of mine recommended Christina so I reached out. From the moment I met Christina she had such an amazing aura, something so familiar and comforting. She was so supportive throughout the pregnancy, responding to any questions and/or concerns I had regardless of how silly they were. The 16 hours of my labour Christina was by my side, suggesting different methods to get baby lower, or to help with pain management. After learning of my past pregnancy traumas Christina pledged to give me the most amazing birth experience possible and she did not fail to deliver. Christina made my final birth experience the most magical and peaceful experience I could ever pray for.

We would like the thank Christina for all her support during our journey of becoming parents for Thomas! No matter how much reading you do on your own, it won't be enough for the things that come up during labour and delivery. There were so many questions we didn't know we would have and she made is so easy and calming for us to go through our special time. After we had our son, there was lots of things the doctors and nurses didn't tell us would happen and she was there with us helping us along. She made us feel like we could do anything and guided us with the things that arose with Thomas. We'd highly recommend her, especially through this tough time with COVID.

We had an excruciatingly long labour and Christina was a champion throughout it all. She never once complained but continually gave of herself to support us. She suggested and helped achieve different positions to keep things progressing. She explained things in ways we understood when we were faced with difficult decisions and helped us come up with a plan we felt good about. She even met us and laboured with us at home when it became too much for us to handle on our own but it wasn’t time to go to the hospital.
Being first time parents, we are experiencing every aspect of parenthood for the first time and that includes birth. Every labour and delivery is different and while we did our best to prepare physically and mentally for labour, there was no way to prepare for how we responded emotionally to it. Having Christina with us gave Dad the freedom to cope with the overwhelming emotions of labour in the way that he needed to without judgement knowing that Mom was being physically taken care of and supported. For any parents who are even a little bit apprehensive about birth, we cannot recommend inviting a doula to your team enough; Christina will fill that role splendidly. We truly believe we could not have made it through the marathon that was our son’s birth and had such a positive outcome if it wasn’t for her.

Christina made our experience with our first born son so much easier and less stressful. She thoroughly and expertly answered our questions leading up to and during labor, lessening our worries tremendously.
We would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for an educated, kind and caring person to support them through their journey.
