We highly recommend Christina as a postpartum doula! She is fantastic with babies - she has a magic touch.Christina spent a few nights per week with our baby for 7 weeks. She also helped during daytimes once or twice per week. It was empowering for us to sleep a full nights rest without the worry of our son waking up, and helping him back to bed. Any guilt that comes with taking a break from your baby, goes away when you realize the improved sleep made us much more attentive, focused parents during the days. The daytime breaks were icing on the cake, as it allowed us to get out of the house for errands, walks, workouts, etc. Clear our minds and again, be better, more present parents.Our baby arrived quite early and had an extended NICU stay. Christina was flexible with us to make sure we received postpartum care at the right time, and the right cadence. She was diligent in attending to what we needed.We are extremely grateful for Christina and what she did for our family.

Christina was a saving grace for me and my family as we moved from the Bay Area back to Seattle. She took things off my plate, supported me with the baby, gave great advice, and helped with household chores. I am very thankful for her!! I can only imagine how great she would be for a birth or immediately postpartum.

We hired Amy and Christina for overnight care when our second daughter was born and it was the best investment we made.... for our family, and for ourselves!We started in a six week program and then increased to ten weeks because it was that much better with them around. You decide how much care you need, they were very flexible with us.The hardest part for us was getting her down to sleep, so it was so nice to have them come over in the evening and take it from there. My husband and I would go to sleep and they would bring me my daughter for feedings. And then just slip out in the morning when the time was over.We got into such a comfortable routine, I would recommend them to anyone! I never worried about my daughter’s well being because I knew she was in good hands, and you just can’t buy that! My husband and I don’t have family here in Seattle, so it was nice to have the extra support when we needed it most.I’m not sure if we just have a good sleeper but my daughter has slept through the night since about 9 weeks old. My first born was a terrible sleeper, so I’m not sure how this happened. But part of me thinks having Amy/Christina soothe her back to sleep helped her wake up less in the long run (less milk/mom dependent).We joke we may have a third baby thanks to Amy & Christina ☺️ Happy to be a reference any time.

For a first time mom who was clueless what to expect postpartum, Full Circle was a blessing in disguise. Christina’s knowledge, years of experience and support through the months for our little one and us as a family made our journey smooth.Highly professional, very responsive (even on text outside the scheduled hours), at the same time flexible to meet the unique needs of each family – are the three phrases that define Christina and Amy’s services. It is totally worth the investment for the well-being of the whole family.Thank you both for the wonderful experience and for memories you helped to create for us. I would not even blink once to refer them.

Becoming first-time parents during the COVID lockdown, with no nearby family, could have been a recipe for disaster. Our baby prep classes were cancelled and we didnt spend a long time in the hospital. We didnt need to worry. Christina and her teams support and guidance made the transition to parenthood easy. She not only showed us how to care for our son and gave us time for much-needed rest, but alsohalso grow our confidence as parents.

Christina and her team were so amazing to our family. From the first meeting to our last scheduled shift, their team was of tremendous help.They were respectful of our family’s preferences and needs while also offering suggestions of things we might not have known.We would absolutely reach out to them for more postpartum care if more children are in our future.

You can’t ask for a more knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective postpartum doula! As first time parents without local family to help out, we couldn’t have gotten through the first few months without Christina’s support and advice. Not only did she have answers for all our questions, she helped with all the little things around the house—making sure we were fed, clothes and dishes were done, and our new little one was well cared for. She is as much a support for mother as she is for baby, and she manages to accomplish more in 4 hours than I could in a day! The whole team is truly exceptional, and we are deeply grateful to Christina, Amy, and Liz for their warmth, kindness, and care.

Christina came highly recommended by friends, and we are grateful for being connected in time to prepare for our daughters birth. While medical issues prevented a VBAC, Christinas guidance, expertise, suggestions, and support during the months before birth, at the hospital for the csection, and follow ups after made all the difference in the world. Christinas knowledge about all things baby, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, family units & dynamics is astounding. We trusted her immediately upon meeting and all of her advice proved beneficial and solid. Our daughters arrival into this world and our family bonds were all dramatically positively impacted by Christinas support (and she knows EVERYONE if you need any other kind of support). Shes an angel and I wish everyone could have someone like her with them when their families expand.

The postpartum support my family received from Christina and Amy during our son’s first 8 months was invaluable in many ways. My husband and I had a lot to learn and we relied heavily on their combined knowledge of infant development, basic care, sleep, and feeding as we were trying to come up to speed as new parents. When issues did arise with breastfeeding and sleep, we were never able to stump them and the depth of both Amy and Christina’s experience meant they never ran out of potential solutions. Having these two pros as a resource and a sounding board for our concerns helped us to build confidence in our own instincts. During the times that I did need to take a rest, it was a huge relief knowing that our baby was with someone we trusted 100%. They are also both lovely people and we were happy to have them with us in the house. Our family will definitely seek them out again for Baby #2, and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of support.

The lovely crew at full circle (especially Christina, Liz and Amy) worked miracles with our little boy Tristan (and me). Our baby boy was suffering from reflux, a lactose sensitivity and wasnt sleeping for more than 2-3 hours at a time for almost 4 months. With their help we were able to manage his reflux, switch to a formula that he liked, teach him how to self soothe, and make progress on development milestones. At 4.5 months he was sleeping 12 hours a night after only 1 week of sleep training! Working with these ladies changed our lives and at the end we felt as though they were a part of our family. They were not only supportive with Tristan but with my husband and I and helped us build confidence as new parents. We almost want another baby just so we get to work with them again :) I highly recommend them for any families that need support postpartum or help with their babes sleeping - these ladies are miracle workers and a joy to be around. We miss them greatly!

I couldnt have done it without Christina!! After an exhausting first 6 weeks with my daughter who had acid reflux and an upset tummy, Christina came to the rescue. My daughter always had to be held and wanted to eat constantly to help soothe her reflux. With that said, there was very little sleep in our household. I also experienced postpartum and had difficulty with my milk supply. Christina was there with a helping hand, warm and friendly, and highly educated and experienced in which put me at ease. Her continuous support helped me cope during a difficult time and be a better mom.

After having our first child I thought we would be fine, just busier and a little more tired when our daughter arrived 3 months ago. I truly underestimated how my post partum self was different with this child. Both my husband and I were hesitant about overnight doula care, but the sleepless nights, caring for a wide awake toddler during the day, and my PPD was taking its toll. After 6 weeks we called Christina and it was the best decision of our life. We have family locally that could help, but there is something different about leaving your child with someone that has cared for both mothers and babies for 17 years. The extensive knowledge and experience she holds is invaluable, with advice that mirrored that of my OB, pediatrician, and sleep trainer. We instantly trusted Christina the moment we met her. Her soothing demeanor not only put our baby at ease, but had us relaxed and gave us some of the best sleep we had in weeks.What I love about both Christina and Amy, is their willingness to listen to your concerns and come with various suggestions that fit your family. Nothing ever felt forced.We initially only had evening care but after some challenging days Christina instantly said “it sounds like you could use some help during the day?”. She was right! At that point I was holding my daughter for every single nap during the day. It was exhausting. On her first daytime visit, Christina showed me how to put her down on her own. My daughter is now consistently sleeping without me holding her for 1-2 hour stretches. I feel like a new woman.The investment is absolutely worth the sanity they bring to you and your family. I justify it with going on a vacation versus setting you and your family up for success those first few months. I wish I would have known about them with my firstborn. They are absolutely hands down wonderful. I want everyone to know and benefit from their amazing care.
