Christina was an absolute lifesaver during our birthing journey and the subsequent postpartum period. Her calm and reassuring demeanor provided immense comfort during labor, guiding us through each contraction with gentle encouragement. Her expertise and knowledge were evident in every interaction, and she was always available to answer questions and address concerns. Postpartum care with Christina was equally exceptional. She not only cared for our newborn but also provided essential support to me and my husband. She was incredibly attentive to my needs, ensuring I was well-rested and nourished. Her guidance and support during breastfeeding helped me overcome initial challenges with milk supply. Beyond physical care, Christina provided emotional support, offering a listening ear and practical advice. Her dedication to our family was truly invaluable. We are forever grateful for her contribution during such a sacred time and wholeheartedly recommend her services to any family seeking a truly exceptional doula experience.
