Every birthing parent
deserves a doula.

The World Health Organization (WHO) developed a Safe Birth Checklist, and doula support is on that list.  Here are some reasons why:

  • 25% – 39% decrease in the risk of Cesarean
  • 8% – 15% increase in the likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth
  • 10% decrease in the use of any medications for pain relief
  • Shorter labors by 41 minutes on average
  • 38% decrease in the baby’s risk of a low five minute Apgar score
  • 31% decrease in the risk of being dissatisfied with the birth experience

Chrissi Suttman

Certified Professional Labor & Postpartum Doula

I truly believe that every birthing person deserves a doula.  After having a traumatic birth experience for my first child, I was terrified of what would happen when I learned I would be having my second child.  I wasn’t sure what a doula was but I had heard of them before.  I knew that I needed the support and guidance that a doula would offer and was fortunate enough to find exactly that.  My doula provided me with the emotional support, the informational resources, the physical support, and the empowerment that led me to having a perfect birth experience.  

After realizing would birth could be like, my passion for birthwork ignited. This is my calling:  I was born to be a doula.

Some Feedback

What My Clients Say

It is so rewarding to hear what my clients have to say about trusting me in their sacred birthing space.  

 

I’m so glad that I hired Chrissi as my Labor Doula. When my birth plan got derailed, my husband and I were both terrified.  Chrissi met us at the hospital earlier than anticipated and helped to keep us calm and comforted me when I was scared.  Even though things didn’t go exactly to plan, I was able to avoid a c-section and I still had a beautiful birth.  

Chrissi is an amazing birth doula.  She stayed with me throughout a very long labor and knew exactly how to ease my anxiety.  She knew exactly what to do and when to do it. It was like she could read my mind. When I had to make decisions, she gave me the information I needed so I felt confident in my choices and she supported me through the whole thing. After my birth, she continued to support me and helped me to process the whole thing. I’m so glad Chrissi was my doula.

I was fortunate enough to have Chrissi with me when my second child was born.  She was there for me, encouraging and supporting me, when I felt I couldn’t keep going.  She reminded me that my body knew what it was doing and helped me find the strength to have a natural delivery. I was so exhausted when my son arrived, so Chrissi held him for me while I was recovering. Chrissi is a natural doula.
