Client Experiences…

We booked our postpartum doula and had great experiences with our doula Krista. She has been very helpful with taking care of our baby and me especially with more challenges with the need of me recovering from a C-section. We would definitely like to book time with her again if we need more sessions in the future.

For the birth of our first child, I decided I wanted to pursue an unmedicated labor and delivery but questioned my ability to achieve this. Krista was an amazing resource as our doula. The information she provided leading up to delivery, the time she spent with my husband and I, and her presence during labor were a calming force that gave me the confidence to achieve my goal. I recommend Krista for anyone looking to enter labor and delivery well informed with all the tools at their disposal to have the best possible birth experience, regardless of what their birth plan might be.

My labor did not go as “planned” and long story short, I ended up laboring by myself. The post birth situation turned out to be more harrowing but I’ll be forever grateful that Krista was there to bear witness and basically keep me company in what was turning out to be a lonely birth. Post birth, she was indispensable: kept me company at the hospital, talked me through breast feeding and pumping, even washed my bottle parts after I pumped! Once I was home, she stayed in constant contact with me to check on how my family was doing. If you even *think* you might need a doula, trust me, you do. I would recommend Krista 100%!

My family had the pleasure of having Krista’s support as our postpartum doula after our second daughter was born. Krista was not only another set of hands that we knew we would desperately need, but also support for the early weeks of my postpartum journey. Krista spent a good deal of time helping us with meal prep which was a huge help in making sure my toddler continued to have healthy meals during the adjustment period, as well as supporting my own recovery with her recommendations of postpartum specific meals and snacks! We couldn’t have been happier to have found Krista and I would highly recommend her services to any family whether they are welcoming their 1st baby or their 5th!

There are few people that you encounter in this life that are full of compassion and devoted to helping others. People who take their own experiences and turn them into a positive drive to advocate for a stranger. A person who is able to connect with you and grant you space, comfort, and support in your most intimate, vulnerable moments. Krista is one of these people. She truly was nothing short of exceptional for both my partner and myself. Krista was present for me from the moment I went into labor to the moments after my baby was born. I could not imagine how laboring would have gone if she were not with us. She attended to my every need, saw me through the extreme moments, and allowed my partner the ability to relax knowing we had someone in the room with us 24/7. She laughed with me, encouraged me, and advocated for me. Not to mention the educational and emotional support she gave throughout pregnancy and postpartum. I truly only have positive things to say about her and the time we spent together. If I have it my way Krista will be present for the birth of all my children.

Krista helped me and my husband navigate our first birth experience. She was very easy to communicate our needs with, both before and during the labor process. We were especially grateful for her as our birth did not go according to plan. She helped me to advocate for myself and provided me and my husband with the much-needed relief when we needed it. Having a baby during a pandemic was harder than expected, but having Krista on our team brought us much-needed peace. Thanks Krista!

Krista was an outstanding doula during my labor, recovery, and postpartum journey. She provided both emotional and physical support throughout my labor. Her words of encouragement, massage, use of aromatherapy, and pushing position suggestions helped me in those tough moments. I'm so grateful she was there to help me navigate through it all. She's also provided valuable support during my postpartum journey, which has helped me gain confidence as a first-time Mom. I'd highly recommend Krista as a doula to any expecting moms!

Krista shared my first days as a brand new (overwhelmed) mom. She was truly supportive when everything was emotionally and physically challenging by listening, giving me space and empowerment. Her experience and empathy made the difference in those days when even the smallest task felt the heaviest. I am grateful that motherhood brought our paths together, not only for the postpartum period, and that she was there in the beginning supporting me and my daughter.

Krista was an amazing doula, by my side (virtually) before, during, and after labor. This was my first pregnancy and I felt so overwhelmed with options and information and trying to get everything "perfect". She helped me navigate my birth plan and ensured I had all the resources and nourishment I would need lined up for when I got home from the hospital. She was always available for my questions, especially during those first chaotic nights home! She helped me feel more confident and even a bit more relaxed about this monumental life change. Krista is an amazing resource on birth and motherhood and I feel so fortunate to know her!

Krista provided me with a lot of emotional support to help me process my traumatic birth and the difficulty of caring for a newborn as a first-time mom. Krista went above and beyond for me.
