      I originally looked for a doula as my husband was deployed when covid hit and it was looking like he wasn’t going to make it home until after the birth. I did a zoom consultation with Krystah and immediately felt a connection to her. Leading up to my birth she was very responsive and answered all of the questions I had for her. As we got closer to my due date my husband was actually able to come home and with covid I was worried that she wouldn’t be allowed in the hospital with my husband and I. When I went into labor early in the morning she was so easy to get a hold of, which was amazing as I needed to talk to someone about my symptoms. She frequently checked in with me. I was in labor all day. I finally called her to my house late afternoon, although I wish I would have had her come sooner (so learn from me and don’t wait). She has this calming presence about her. I felt so relaxed when she arrived, although I was still in pain. When I finally told her and my husband I need to go to the hospital she didn’t question me at all. She was approved her to come in to the hospital with us, which made me so happy! I felt so empowered because Krystah had educated me on how I have the power to make my own choices/decisions. She stayed with us the whole time and was there to be with my son in the room as I was getting out of a rough surgery. Even though my labor did not go as expected I was so happy to have her by my side from beginning to end! I miss her she was so amazing!!!!!

      I was so blessed to have Krystah as a part of my postpartum journey with my two pregnancies. She completed my placenta encapsulations and you can feel the love she pours into her work. She presented my my placenta prints & umbilical cord keepsakes with such beautiful details. I also had the honor to have her belly bind me & this helped me feel warmth & healing in my early weeks of postpartum. For my first pregnancy I also had Krystah complete my bone closing ceremony. I truly hope she can continue being a part of my birthing team & community. Her presence is genuine & listens with whole heartedness. Love you Krystah!

      I cannot say enough good things about Krystah! She was my sole support during the birth of my surrogate babe due to my husband being deployed. I could not imagine going through all of it without her by my side. She was always so calm and professional. Even when she was just sitting there holding space, she knew exactly what I needed in those moments. Her energy and presence was everything to me.

      I hired Krystah for post partum care in the hospital for two nights. Hiring her was absolutely the best decision I made. Krystah is very personable and professional. She took great care of me and my new born. I could get the much needed rest as Krystah cared for my baby through the night. She is very knowledgeable about alternative medicine and caring for new borns. She was very punctual and responsive. I higly recommend her to someone who is looking for quality care for the baby and mother likewise.
