My grandson being born in 2021. As a result of the complication my daughter had during her postpartum period, I was able to pull on my holistic background to save her life and support her the first year of my grandsons life.
What are some positive comments made about you by other people?:
¨Truly heaven sent! My family and I were so blessed to have Chi as our doula. As a first-time mom I really wanted to ensure I did everything to have a memorable experience. From pregnancy right through delivery and even postpartum, Chi has been a great part of my support system. Very knowledgeable, caring, anointed and excellent in what she does. There were things that could be easily overlooked in the process of preparing for a little one but she made sure we were equipped. I especially loved her empowering my husband and I, constantly coaching and reminding us of our strength throughout this whole experience. I couldn’t imagine my birth story any other way!¨ Laurin 1/4/2024
¨I would highly recommend Chi to any expecting woman. This was my first time having a doula at my birth, and it was such a wonderful experience. Chi was a wonderful support to have at my birth. She really helped me get through some emotional struggles during the transition period of my labor. She was also very knowledgeable of acupressure points to aid in labor. I loved that she helped my husband hit these specific points to get me through my labor. She exudes a positive and compassionate spirit that is easy to connect with. She had great followed up with my post-partum care and continues to check in with me and make sure I have everything I need to feel supported now that I have 3 kids! Thank you, Chi, for your services and love and support throughout my pregnancy!¨ Leilani 9/25/2023
¨Chi was such a blessing. When I had injured myself at 6 weeks postpartum, she made herself available last minute. And when she arrived, she was ready to help! I felt a sense of peace and ease knowing she just “got it” and would be able to take care of things. She provided advice when I asked questions. I felt safe to be vulnerable with Chi, as she also shared some personal experiences as well. She took care of my baby so I could rest, and I fell right to sleep- which meant my body was trusting of her too. Chi fit right in and got the routine quickly, but also provided some new ideas that helped to liven up the routine too. This is my third baby, and I’d never thought about doing a “music session” with the baby- so fun! Chi sat and sang to her- all the classic nursery rhymes but in a fun way. She has a beautiful voice! Make sure you ask her to sing. She prayed with me as well, which is exactly what I needed in those tough moments. She was a friend and also very professional. Definitely consider her as you are looking for support on your postpartum journey.¨ Sydney B. 9/18/2023
¨We had an amazing experience with Chi! She was supportive, kind and knowledgeable. She met with us well before labor and really got to know us as a couple. Her hands on assists during labor were really helpful in contraction management and we were all jammin to the music together. She followed up with us multiple times after the birth to check in and see how we were doing. We highly recommend Chi.¨ H. Eccleston 7/20/2023
