My husband and I had hired Christine for the birth of our second child as the first one resulted in an unexpected C-section that we were not prepared for. I knew I wanted a VBAC, and felt as though we needed the guidance and advocacy for another hospital birth. Chris first pointed us towards the right courses and classes that were extremely beneficial, and she's there with you every step of the way. When Chris takes on a client - you are her number one priority. She is so compassionate, encouraging, and a phenomenal labor coach. She was comforting to my family and worked well with the hospital staff while still advocating my preferences. You can tell she views labor, birth, and postpartum as a sacred time and she does a wonderful job of protecting that. Chris is a vessel of knowledge and worth hiring as your doula!

This was the second time we hired Chris as a birth doula, and I honestly can’t imagine being pregnant or having a baby without her there! Throughout pregnancy, she offers vast knowledge and many resources, ranging from nutrition and exercise to weening an older child to sleep strategies, and everything in between! Having Chris on your team is really like having a special aunt to ask advice from, on all things baby or family related. Labor went so smoothly and quickly this time around that Chris’s biggest role that day was taking care of us in the little things-putting essential oil in my bath water, making sure my husband had snacks, providing privacy when we wanted it, making me tea after our son was born, and helping me to be as comfortable as possible. She was especially helpful with early breastfeeding, even though everyone else told me I was an experienced mom and knew what I was doing. Having Chris on our birth team gave both my husband and I such peace of mind that we would recommend her to anyone and everyone! We knew we would be well taken care of, so we could focus on meeting our new little one!

We were so thrilled to have Chris join our birth team from the moment we spoke on the phone, and even moreso with each visit we had with her! I was so appreciative of the materials and classes she provided along with the expectation to complete them. It allowed me to fully inform myself with her guidance to be able to make the best decisions for myself, my baby, and our entire family. My favorite thing about working with Chris is that she has a set of standards that she believes in and shares them, but also tailors certain decisions to your situation. After having a very traumatic first birth without a doula, this second birth with a wonderful birth team lead by Chris was beyond perfect. All of my goals were achieved due to the commitment she helped me make to myself. As a fellow Christian, I felt even more supported in the spiritual sense as well during pregnancy and labor. Her availability and dedication to her clients is unmatched, she showed up for me during multiple false labors and finally the real one! Communicating with Chris was not only easy and clear, but also very loving and enjoyable. I just so happen to be her neighbor, and her kindness and commitment extends even being a past client! Truly a generous, caring, and lovely woman to know let alone work with! Our family is so grateful for everything you did pre and post labor, I would absolutely recommend. 

Chris was absolutely wonderful to work with. She has a great bag of tools and a lot of knowledge & experience to help you achieve the birth you want. I had a hospital birth and really appreciated how she was gentle but firm on techniques and suggestions to help me to continue to process during labor. I also very much appreciated that she backed my birth plan at the hospital (and helped me compose it during pregnancy) and was a wonderful advocate for me. If I have anymore babies, she is someone I want on my birth team again! She has also been so encouraging and helpful postpartum.

We have hired Chris to be our doula for the birth of both of our children, and it has been the greatest blessing! After having our son, I was certain I did not want to walk through another pregnancy and birth without the guidance, wisdom, support, and care provided by Chris. We had unmedicated, natural hospital births with both of our children. Our second birth was my dream birth and completely executed to all of our preferences and desires. I had some unexpected health issues to navigate during my second pregnancy, and Chris graciously provided resources, confidence, and encouragement to our family each time we needed to consult with her. It is truly hard to imagine our pregnancy & birth experiences without her. God has used Chris to be an advocate, helper, intercessor, and comfort at the most significant and precious moments of our lives: welcoming our children into this world. Chris is a faithful and devoted woman of God using her time, talents, and treasures to bless mothers, children, and families. Thank you endlessly, Chris!

Chris was picked as our back-up doula since our’s was going to be out of town for 2 days near my due date. She took the time to come meet my husband and I when I was 36 weeks pregnant on the off chance we’d need her at our birth. From that meeting on she was constantly there to support me, learning my birth plan thoroughly and answering all of my questions. I ended up needing an induction due to health concerns while our doula was out of town. From the second I told her I was being induced, she explained every choice I had and made sure I understood my options. She continuously checked-in throughout the early induction and labor process and was ready to be at the hospital as soon as we were ready making sure I was comfortable. When called Chris to join us at the hospital, she was prompt and showed up with an entire suitcase of tools for supporting me through labor. She is very knowledgeable and a strong advocate for what you decide. Even though I was not a client of Chris’s most of my pregnancy, she was extremely helpful from the moment we met, I’m grateful she was able to attend and support my birth!

Chris helped us as a postpartum doula after both of our girls. After the first time, we knew we wanted to make sure to budget for this every time. She was so instrumental in helping us through those first few weeks, supporting my husband in taking care of our house, family, and basic needs so I could concentrate on my own healing and adjusting to the needs of a new baby.

Christine was an indispensable part of my pregnancy and birth experience. My husband and I appreciated all the time Christine spent with us prior to our son's birth. She really took the time to learn our preferences and impart her own knowledge without pressuring us one way or another. She is highly knowledgable about pregnancy and birth and has the credentials to back it up. We would not have had the positive birth experience we had in the hospital without Christine. She made herself available right away when we were admitted to the hospital. She knew the questions to ask the hospital staff and advocated for our needs. She created a calm environment amidst the unavoidable chaos of the hospital. I appreciated her suggestions of positions and coping mechanisms during labor. My husband also benefited greatly from Christine's presence - his needs were addressed just as much as mine and he had a teammate in his corner to guide him when I was too deep in labor to be of much help. Post-partum, Christine was just as helpful. She made sure we were comfortably settled before departing the hospital. I felt so taken care of by her due to her periodic check-ins with me via text and a very thorough follow up meeting. She truly shared our joy at our son's birth and had the same concern for him a loving parent would. I cannot speak highly enough about Christine and look forward to working with her again for our next birth.

Chris(tine) was a wonderful doula! She was very informative and thorough, and she helped to prepare me for what to expect with my first birth. I was induced for medical reasons so my delivery was a little complicated, but she was there every step of the way. I had a hospital birth and an epidural and was able to give birth vaginally which was amazing. She was caring, patient and a great advocate for me when some of the providers weren't necessarily paying attention to my birth plan. She also helped with breastfeeding resources and questions after delivery as well. I highly recommend her!

From the moment we started working with Chris we knew we were in the best hands. She was more than just our doula, she became family. Before the birth, Chris prepared us thoroughly. She shared helpful resources, made sure we took birth classes, and patiently answered all of my many questions. She left us feeling informed, empowered, and safe going into the birth and we are really thankful she did because we needed it all. I had an incredibly long and difficult labor. I truly believe I could not have had a vaginal birth without Chris. She was there every step of the way. When my water broke and my contractions were irregular she guided us through the uncertainty with calm, confidence, and compassion. At the hospital she was a mind reader, constantly providing what I needed before I even knew I needed it. It's not even possible to list all of the ways that she was able to help. Her strength, patience, and kindness got me through one of the most intense and difficult experiences of my life. Even after birth, her care didn’t stop. She followed up with texts and calls, checking in on me and our baby, and visiting us for postpartum despite the extra distance to our home. It’s clear that Chris does this work because she genuinely cares and loves supporting families. I can’t imagine going through this experience without her. If you're considering a doula, please choose Chris. You will not find a more dedicated, loving, and capable support person. She helped us make the right decisions when it mattered most and will always hold a special place in our hearts. We love you, Chris. We are forever grateful, thank you for everything.
