What families are saying

Working with Efe leading up to my son's birth was such a delight. Her prenatal private sessions with my husband and me were thorough and really made us feel like we were preparing both physically and emotionally for labor and postpartum. My goal was to have an unmedicated birth and she helped me to feel confident in my instincts and strong in my body. During my quick labor and the challenges of pushing she was positive, offered amazing suggestions to help make me as comfortable as possible and worked really well with my OB and the rest of the hospital staff. In fact, my OB told me after it was one of his most enjoyable experiences working with a doula because of her great energy, solidarity and collaboration. I had the labor I had hoped for with Efe's help and couldn't recommend her more. -Stephanie & Matthew
Efe was a great help during my pregnancy, birth and afterwards. When my due date passed, she was able to reassure me that I'm making the right decision waiting for the birth to happen naturally. Efe was able to work together with the midwife, but at the same time advocate for me and explain what procedures the hospital staff was suggesting and if they were truly necessary. She knew perfectly what positions to recommend and how to keep my attitude positive (which was not easy!:) Efe is very dedicated, knowledgable and provided us a lot of pregnancy- and birth-related information. Besides that, she is just an awesome human being: you feel comfortable having her around in that special time in your life. -Malwina and Konstantin
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.
