My husband and I not only were extraordinarily prepared, but also empowered due to her expertise...especially as first time parents with very little experience in childbearing/rearing. The confidence and support she provided me before and during the birth gave me the strength and mental fortitude to have a completely unmedicated vaginal birth. She not only took the best care of me, she also ensured my partner was equipped with the knowledge and tools as my support person during labor and the first weeks of our son's life. We are so thankful we invested in her expertise and can't recommend her services enough!!

My son was born premature with a cleft lip, so I was very very picky about who I wanted to work with. Christina exceeded my expectations and I cannot recommend her enough! She was able to help us very promptly after reaching out, was patient and encouraging during our session, and made sure to follow up until I felt confident feeding my son. He's thriving (and so am I) thanks to Christina!

Even if it had ended in a repeat c section, her support was truly needed for my pregnancy and birthing experience. She was always there for me whether it was via text message, calls, or social media. She has a very calm vibe and I think she can read people very well. I got my natural VBAC!! I had dreamed of a natural birth and after a c section with my first, I was afraid it would never happen for me. She believed in me, supported, and guided me through one of the most life changing events in my life. I am so thankful to have had her with me! This doula rocks!

I had no idea how to properly use my pump or manually express enough to ensure my baby was being nourished. I called Lin in overwhelmed, sleep-deprived tears. She helped me over the phone on a holiday, hearing the panic and worry in my voice. Her advice immediately improved our situation, and she visited the following afternoon to provide a lactation consultation and weighted feed. While with us, she also identified a potential tongue and lip tie, and referred us to a provider to have that formally diagnosed and possibly corrected. We created a care plan including tips for latching, feeding schedules, massage techniques, positioning, and proper pump usage. Her help was absolutely invaluable and both my husband and I felt so much more confident afterward. She is an absolute wealth of knowledge, her bedside manner is one of gentle kindness, and you can feel her passion for what she does. We are incredibly grateful for her expertise, kindness, and willingness to make us an immediate priority, and would recommend her to anyone who is new to or struggles with breastfeeding.

[This review is for their classes - not the birthing center/midwife services]…read more My husband and I paid for and participated in the preparing for birth class run by Jillian Hollingsworth. Under no circumstances would I recommend this class or this instructor. The description on their website claims the class is designed for "all birthing people" yet that could not have been further from the truth. I was the only mom in the class who was planning to birth in a hospital. From the moment I said this out loud, I felt ostracized. Jillian exclusively referred to me as "Hospital Mama" instead of by name. I was made to feel like I was making the wrong choice. Jillian then made sure that no one wanted an epidural or pain meds for their birth. I had planned on (and did get when it was time) an epidural but I knew better than to say so. However, she did single me out and said something along the lines of "You're not getting an epidural, are you?" We lied and said we weren't planning on it solely to avoid judgement. The class didn't provide any real helpful birth coping mechanisms or guidance on positions or breathing techniques like I was hoping. It was mostly a detailed walk through the stages of labor which was good info but not worth $250. To top it all off, Jillian allowed the class to venture into anti-vax convos and claims of vitamin K dangers that have been proven false. Several moms were allowed to share false information about black box labels and were not corrected by Jillian. Evidence-based information can be found here for other new moms and for CBP to review: https://evidencebasedbirth.com/evidence-for-the-vitamin-k-shot-in-newborns/ We left feeling so uncomfortable and wanting to never step foot back in the birthing center.
