"Thank you so much for your compassion and professionalism. I would love to have you be next to me for my next child birth, too, IF there's any"

"Dear Wendy, We miss you!"

"Thank you again for the great support! You were wonderful and we will never forget the help and perfect job you have done."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't thank you enough for everything you have done. We love the enchiladas!"

"You have been a good friend through my pregnancy, and I am looking forward to a lasting friendship."

"You were more than I could have hoped for and your extra efforts were wonderfully unexpected and truly appreciated"

"You were my angel and without you I wonder if I could have done it."

"If I won the lottery, I'd give you half, Christa."

"Wendy was my tower of strength during the birth of my daughter. I couldn't have done it without her. I was in labor for 24 hours at home and her 'head squeezes' were the best pain relief there is. When things took a different turn and I had to go into hospital and have a c.section her knowledge and calmness made the whole experience much less scary as I knew what to expect. She was my voice when I was too tired and dazed to be able to use my own. I would highly recommend her to anyone."

"Christa treated me with so much respect. She supported MY wishes. She was quiet at all the right moments and made such a difference in my birth.   She was a great comfort, everything was perfect!"

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Wendy helped me create the perfect, peaceful, safe sanctuary in which to birth my son. She was a quiet encourager, a silent strength, her words were precise, and I could not have imagined having this experience without her."

"Dear Christa, I wanted to give you something to thank you for everything you did for me during my pregnancy and after but then I realized no card with mere writing could ever thank you enough.   You listened to my concerns, addressed my fears, and essentially helped me though a lot of difficult decisions I would never have made on my own.  Not only did you prove to be knowledgeable and caring, but also a great friend."

"Wendy was an absolutely fantastic person to have as a part of my birth team. Through 36 hours of labor, she never left my side. I had a planned homebirth and ended up going to the hospital for an emergency c-section. Wendy was positive and reassuring the whole time. I don't know what I would have done without her! =)"

"Christa and Wendy are great.  They make the perfect team."

"Wendy and Christa, Thank you so much for all your help at our birth! You helped make it an amazing, wonderful experience for our whole family. I wouldn't have liked it any other way!  It was all perfect!"

"I don't know what I would have done without the two of you there with me.  I can't thank you enough! "

Wendy, I have watched you grow from a passionate teen mentor to doula, childbirth educator and now midwife. You possess the personal qualities that make the world better and the lives of the women and families you touch. I have watched you work your magic and empower women and therefore their families. Your intellect, caring and passion for what you do and who you do it with gives me peace and pride. I'm honored to be considered your friend.  Barbara Hotelling, Past President of Lamaze and DONA

The world so needs a midwife armed with a sense of humor who is not afraid to use it! Thank God there's Wendy!  Amanda Topping, CPM

I was thinking of Wendy and Christa the other day and it occurred to me…wow, I am so proud of those two—like I knew them before they were midwives—how cool!  Shawn Spry, Founder of BirthNetwork

You two are competent, caring, and appropriately humble.  Your abilities shine through!  Michelle Kendell, Co-Chair, Coalition for Improving Maternity Services

Christa, I feel you are cut out to be a midwife.  Your telling of the birth of your nephew was beautiful, the kind of beautiful that can be told so well by someone who really appreciates the miracle of birth.  I also know you are so competent and dedicated!  Too bad I am not having anymore babies.    Shannon Byrne, Past President of BirthNetwork National
