I am so happy that you were present at my birthing. Your confidence and trust in birth gave me such strength. You used your instincts to know what I needed, when I needed it. Your creative ideas were invaluable postpartum when my placenta was "taking it's time"......and for that I am so grateful. You are a natural at this work!!
P.S. Thanks for helping make good use of my placenta by preserving it for future use.

Kristin,
Thank you!! You were an enormous help at a time of such need! It was so great to meet you while I was in the hospital. You were a breath of fresh air and the placenta pills have surely helped me heal so much more quickly. I'm up and about walking around quite a lot and easily at less than a week post op. Emotionally and mentally, there have been some shifts and I'm glad I have the supplements to help with this. It's interesting about the umbilical cord! We've put it tucked into her bassinet. Thank you so much!!!

We hired Krissy for the birth of our third baby and my only regret was that I didn't know her when I birthed the first two babies! Wow! Krissy is an amazing doula. Upon our first meeting she made me feel comfortable and more relaxed. I was nervous because I had a c-section with my second child. Krissy talked me through what she could offer and what to expect. She ended with this will be your "healing birth." I will always remember those words because she was right! I went into labor and called Krissy immediately. She was so comforting to both my husband and I. In the middle of the night she was at my house telling me exactly what birthing phase I was in and what to expect next. We went to the hospital and when the nurses "checked" me, the nurse said I had a long time to go. I looked at Krissy and she said, "you are so close Holly." I was practicing hypnobirthing and the baby did come quickly just as Krissy said. Krissy helped deliver a beautiful baby! I was so thrilled to share the moment with her and my husband was thrilled to have such a knowledgeable doula at my side to guide us. Then, Krissy came for postpartum care and she has been able to do more then I ever imagined while taking care of the baby too! What a woman! I wish every new mom could have a wonderful, warm, and touching experience as I.

"Simply put, Krissy is amazing. She took the time to get to know me and understand the kind of experience I wanted to have. During the birth, Krissy's tireless efforts and compassionate touch helped me stay strong and relaxed. Krissy quickly became a trusted resource for guidance not only during the end of my pregnancy and the birth, but also when we had so many questions as first time parents. I feel truly blessed to have had Krissy by my side throughout this experience."

"Kristin is a rare gem and I can not imagine having my baby without her calming and inspiring support. She was right there when I needed her most, offering her warmth, her sisterhood, and her unending devotion. I am eternally grateful for her commitment to helping me have the amazing VBA2C waterbirth that I desperately needed. One needn't think twice about having this woman by their side through any stage of motherhood. There is hardly a kinder soul on Earth."

Hi Krissy,
I
just wanted to forward the message I received from my midwife after my 6
week follow-up today. Thought you would get a kick out of it! My body
thanks you.
"Hi
Katie – great to see you today! Your hematocrit is the highest it has
ever been in the 5 years we have known you! 39.7 – not surprised after
the placenta meal..." Connie

Working
with Kristin and Placenta Therapeutics was a joy. At a time in late
pregnancy when stress and anxiety can be quite high, Kristin was a calm,
helpful presence. She
guided us through the entire process and made it all as easy a possible
-- for example, meeting us at the hospital to pick up the placenta and
explaining exactly what needed to be done immediately following the
birth. She
also provided detailed explanations and guidelines on how to use all
the various remedies and tinctures and she continues to support us after
the birth if we have questions.
The capsules were extremely helpful immediately following the birth. We just knew we were doing the right thing to support Augusta's body and her healing process physically, emotionally and energetically. I don't know what the difference would have been if we weren't using them, but my experience was that they were very beneficial to Augusta's overall well-being.
One of the greatest benefits here isn't just the capsules in supporting Augusta post birth, but knowing that we have a powerful supportive homeopathic remedy made from her placenta (Placenta Humanum12C) that can support Augusta and the rest of the family for years to come.
I would highly recommend working with Kristin - I experienced her as an expert in an emerging area of women's health and felt I was in strong hands the entire time.
