What people are saying:

"Christine is the best. She listens to you and holds so much space for you. You feel so well cared for with her. She really knows her stuff. I never doubted her for a second. She’s funny and cool and I’m forever grateful I was able to have her as my midwife. It was the best decision I ever made." -Madison

"From the moment I met Christine, I knew I wanted her to be my midwife. She is calming, knowledgable, and everything I could have asked for in a friend and midwife. She’s been with me for both of my baby’s home births. I am forever grateful to have met her and I’m beyond thankful for my beautiful birth experiences I’ve had with her." - Kiana 

“I loved my time with Christine and her team. We were always laughing and having a good time during our visits and I truly loved that. She was never rushed, always went above and beyond and even made a few house calls in the early stages of my pregnancy when I was extremely sick. I chose home birth because I wanted something more intimate and personal, and I got exactly that and more. I gained a life long friend in the process. Christine is magic, wise beyond her years, and a gentle soul. I’m thankful our paths crossed and that I chose her as my midwife.” - Kristen

“It’s hard for me to think of where to start with Christine. She has such a nurturing energy to her and I felt cared for and loved at every appointment. When it came to birth, she was a gentle guide throughout the entire process. I could not ask for a better midwife! If I have another baby, she is the ONLY one I would want by my side.” - Alesya

“Adrien makes you feel like a piece of art. I’ve been trying to pin down the feeling she gave me. The way she marvels at birth makes you feel worthy of being marveled at, and that’s a nice feeling! I loved having her at my birth.” - Gloria
