TESTIMONIALS

“I cannot recommend Christine enough for your home birth care! Christine was my midwife for my third baby (second home birth) in February 2023. Christine is so invested in her clients and wants you to have the birth YOU want. For this pregnancy, I really wanted a relatively hands-off approach and to not be pressured into decision making, but still desired to have a medical professional present and to be monitored throughout the pregnancy. Christine was the perfect match for me. Before ever offering any testing, advice, or intervention, she would always ask, “how do you feel about this? What is your gut telling you?” She genuinely cared about ME and what I wanted. She always answered my phone calls when I had questions or concerns and was flexible in scheduling appointments around my work schedule.

When labor began, roughly two weeks before my estimated due date, Christine responded with such calmness, but understood the urgency, as I have a history of precipitous labors. She made it to my house in under one hour. She brought such a gentle, peaceful presence to my birth space. I labored with my husband in our bathroom and she was close enough to be accessible without making herself KNOWN - she really just blended in to the space. When I was in transition and doubting my abilities to have an unmedicated home birth, she was the encouraging sense of comfort I desperately needed. When my baby was born into my own hands - this was very important to me, to catch my own baby - Christine observed quietly and assured me everything was as it should be and he was transitioning wonderfully. 

In the immediate postpartum, Christine was quiet and careful to not disturb our bonding time. She engaged with my older children in such a loving, maternal way. There was no rush to complete any tasks, exams, or paperwork. She let my family set the pace. Christine remained available to me in the days and weeks that followed the birth for any and all questions I had.

Christine gave my husband and I the confidence we needed to have a beautiful home birth and empowered us to make decisions that felt right for our family. I will never stop singing her praises and referring my friends to her. Thank you Christine for all your love and care.”

Warmly,
Lauren
