Christina (and assistant Paige!) is such a relief to have found! I mentally need a home birth this delivery as the hospital was giving me anxiety, just thinking about it made me stressed out. I have researched midwifery for quite a while and have heard the best from my friends who have hired one. She is very thorough and goes through my medical history with lab/sonograms referred to the correct professionals. Christina makes sure your body isn't at high risk and even gives advice on vitamin supplementation based off your body! Super customized care. I am so excited to continue this journey. All prenatal care is done at my house with my children and husband right there! I want them to connect with this new baby better than past pregnancies and I see it happening before my eyes! It's such a blessing. read more

Christina is an incredible midwife and I am beyond thankful we were able to work with her! She is patient, down to earth, kind and easy to trust. I'm very particular in providers I choose to care for me and my family. No matter what crazy questions I had, she was confident and knowledgeable in her responses. She made sure we fully understood everything throughout our journey and put our minds at ease. Do not hesitate to use Christina! read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Christina. Not only did she care so well for me and my family, but she is so relatable, welcoming, considerate, and knowledgable. From the beginning of prenatal care through birth and postpartum care there was nothing left to be desired. We were left with a life long memories accompanied by the best care and support. Couldn't be happier. read more

Christina is everything and more that I could ask for in a midwife! I was 18 years old having my first baby and decided to do it naturally and Christina was so hands on and on top of everything for me the whole way through. She is very knowledgeable and makes you feel safe & well taken care of. I had low iron and she was always very involved with helping me and we ended up getting my iron up to normal rates before birth. You can tell she is passionate about being a midwife & she was always checking in on me between appointments. She is amazing I highly highly recommend!!! read more

I had a home birth last year and Christina was my midwife during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She's amazing and really goes above and beyond. She instantly made me feel comfortable at our first appointment and was so invested in my care during the rest of my journey with her. She has a very strong comforting presence and gave me the calm confidence I needed during birth. I'm very grateful for the experience I had because of her. Could not recommend her more! read more

Highly recommend Christina! She felt like such a blessing for our family. Such a great resource of knowledge, and gave me all the confidence to have my first home birth. read more

A big unsolicited shout out to Christina Evans of https://www.heritagebirthandbeyond.com/, our birth doula. I cannot imagine a birth without a doula and we've had one for both of our precious ones. Christina came highly recommended from our first doula. The key to having a successful doula / parent relationship is a mutual commitment and understanding of your birth goals. My wife was fully committed to reaching her birth experience goals, putting in the hours of work, and also flexible enough to understand that anything can happen. Christina walked us through our birthing experience, from pregnancy to postpartum, that was balanced and easy to follow. She asked us questions that challenged us to fully vet the options that would lead us to well thought out and wise decisions. Christina, thank you for being there to walk us through the birthing process and provide the support we needed when we needed it. You brought a sense of peace and empowerment as we brought a new child into this world. I highly recommend Christina to anyone who may be in need of her doula services in the San Diego area. Doulas and midwives are unsung heroes of the birthing process who deserve much honor and recognition for the work they do. read more

I don't typically write reviews but I couldn't resist for this special person, Christina. She was everything we needed for our home birth and more. The incredible knowledge base she has and instinctual decision making she used during our birth is what made her the perfect fit for us. I had high blood pressure that had been under control until labor started. Christina immediately knew what to give me to get it back under control in order to still safely birth our son at home. Not only that, but breastfeeding has always been a struggle for me. I had voiced my concerns and level of importance around wanting to make sure I do everything I need to successfully breastfeed this time around with my son. Christina and I put together a game plan which involved lactation support. Well, unfortunately the lactation support I had received from a consultant was far from what we expected/needed and Christina immediately went to bat for us in finding exactly who we needed for our unique circumstance and lovingly guided us during that challenging time. Every home visit she provided was met with such love and care and deep empathy for the questions/concerns I had. Anybody would be so blessed to have Christina as a midwife! She is absolutely incredible and gifted with her profound knowledge of birth and everything that comes with it! She wasn't just a midwife to us, she was FAMILY! We are forever blessed to know her and have her serve our family in the way that she did. read more

I immediately connected with Christina when my husband and I met with her for the first time to see if we would be a good fit for each other for the birth of our second baby at a hospital. The doula who had been there for our first pregnancy and birth had moved away, and she highly recommended Christina. Personal referrals are everything. I ask many questions, and Christina always directed me to reliable resources to make the most informed decisions. Christina made herself available to us, and I felt confident to reach out throughout the pregnancy with any concerns. I appreciate Christina's thoroughness and initiative in following up along the way to see how we were doing and offer support. I value her holistic approach to birth, empowering us to care for our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. I had a specific desire for this second birth. Christina was fully on board with my desire, while at the same time preparing me to fully embrace the birth path that would happen, even if it was not my first choice. In the end, I got to experience my dream birth, although there were unexpected twists immediately afterward that were not ideal. Christina was present every step of the way. Her presence, wisdom, and experience are priceless. Christina will always be a part of our family's story, and we cannot thank her enough! read more

Christina has my highest recommendation as a doula! She provides many resources and informed discussion to help you come to your own conclusions about birth preferences. She was a strong supporter of my wishes and facilitated the realization of my goals like touching the baby's head during birth, using a mirror to help motivate me during pushing, and massaging me during labor. She has a calming presence that comforting. She is in your corner! I would strongly recommend her! read more
