Warm Wishes from Our Families

“Kirsten gave us so much confidence and knowledge while we prepared for our first birth. She helped us navigate unexpected changes to our birth plan, and was a calming and attentive presence throughout a long and difficult labor. I really appreciated her post-partum visit and being able to process my birth story together, and she had great guidance on breastfeeding!”
