Kind words about Folklore

J.

“My pregnancy was difficult, both physically and emotionally. Christen was a welcome light in the darkness—her warmth, compassion, and thoughtfulness shined brightly as she challenged me to think deeply and confront my emotions. She was a constant presence over the weeks and months as I worked through my fear and grief, until I reached a place of excitement and readiness for the imminent arrival of my child. My birth ended up being the most beautiful and empowering experience. With my partner on one side and Christen on the other, I felt surrounded by so much love and divine energy as I pushed my son into this world. She was helpful every step of the way, even postpartum as she checked in on us regularly, offering help and support (and cake!). Thank you, Christen—I'm honored to have shared such a sacred journey with you as my doula.”

“[Christen and I] do not live near each other but with [my second] pregnancy I found more questions arose than my first. Had we been living in closer proximity, I would have hired her as my doula in a heartbeat. She has supported my questions and concerns, offering advice I was clearly seeking. She has wholeheartedly answered my questions and left room for conversation to flow. She’s offered readings and shows that there is room for this to be a safe space. Christen is a lovely woman and I would recommend [her]time and time again.”

“Christen is the embodiment of everything a new mother wants by her side: patience, empathy, and empowerment. She listens fully, she asks questions that allow you to search your own authentic experience, and she is willing to share her own vulnerable experiences to make you feel less alone. [Having] Christen by my side in pregnancy and in my postpartum months saved my body, mind, and spirit time and time again. Every mama should be so lucky to have her in their circle as they transition into the sacred, scary, and often overwhelming role of motherhood.”
