I'm so glad I hired Chrystal from Loving Hands Family Services! I'm the type of person who has *a lot* of questions and can easily feel anxious about a situation if I don't feel like I'm in control. Imagine how I must've felt about delivering my baby as a first-time mom! I can honestly say, that thanks to Chrystal's support, I had a birthing experience that was 100% smooth and stress-free, and for me, that's saying something. For starters, it was so helpful to have support and resources weeks in advance to know what I should be doing to naturally induce labor. When I began laboring at home, at 1am mind you, Chrystal was on call right away talking me through how to cope with contractions over the phone. By the time I got to the hospital, I had no idea I was already 8cm dilated! Chrystal got to the hospital in great time and collaborated wonderfully with my nurse, midwife, and husband to support me through different positions for delivery. Somehow, she was able to keep the mood both focused, but also fun and light-hearted at the same time. Small things like wrapping my hair up, putting a washcloth on my face w/ essential oils, and capturing photos for us to look back on made me feel even more relaxed and cared for. She also helped talk me through options like pitocin and vacuum extraction when they were presented to me by my midwife which made me feel confident about making decisions in the heat of the moment. Ultimately, I was able to have a vaginal delivery with very little medical intervention (besides an epidural -- I only needed pitocin at the very end to give baby that extra nudge she needed to push through). Finally, getting to debrief the entire experience postpartum was helpful because she was able to answer more questions about caring for a newborn and she shared even more resources! Two months postpartum, I'm happy to say my baby girl is thriving and in great health. My little family and I were without a doubt, in loving hands

My husband and I started working with Chrystal when our baby was 11-days-old. As first time parents without “the village”, we felt overwhelmed and were sleep deprived. Chrystal brought with her a calm confidence in caring for our son that started with night shifts and transition to daytime help. She has a breadth of knowledge that spans everything baby and postpartum. She was exactly the support we both needed and she saved our sanity. Chrystal has a big heart which is immediately felt in her presence and she quickly felt like family. She also has a great network. Chrystal played a pivotal role in our breastfeeding success because of her network of postpartum and infant providers.

I truly believe that everyone should get proper postpartum care - whether it’s your first time as a parent or not - because that time is beautiful yet chaotic. Having Chrystal’s support truly gave us peace of mind. She’s encouraging and uplifting and transformed a hard stage of life into one filled with more peace and calm.

I cannot thank Chrystal enough for her guidance and assistance with breastfeeding. As a first-time mom, I felt overwhelmed, but her knowledge and encouragement helped me successfully breastfeed my baby. So grateful for her services!
