What families are saying

Her knowledge, guidance, expertise, organization and patience was incredible throughout our entire process. There wasn't a time she wasn't available to talk me through pre labor decisions and understand all options available to us. Her website, pre labor tutorials and overviews, links to helpful articles and topics and array of pre, during and post care items for mom and baby was extraordinary. Cady helped us understand the medical decisions that needed to be made and gave us great strength throughout the delivery process. Her lactation knowledge is very strong and was extremely helpful when we discovered our son was tongue tied. We have nothing but great things to say and she was a pillar of strength through the entire process. -Meredith

Our experience working with Cady was beyond amazing! Even before the birth, she helped provide all the tools so my husband and I could make informed decisions on what we hoped for during the birth. We were as prepared as we were ever going to be and because of the knowledge shared and her immense support during, we were able to have the unmedicated natural birth we planned for! It was such a profound experience that I'm so grateful to have gone through, but I wouldn't have been able to do it without her support of not only me but also my husband. -Abi

Christine was a calming voice in the birthing room, and an advocate for me when things got hard. Postpartum she has continued to be a support person as questions have arisen.
