Service introduction
As your birth doula, I offer 3 prenatal visits and 2 postpartum visits. During our prenatal visits, we learn about you and your partner’s birth philosophy and what you hope for your birth experience. We focus on birth education, understanding hospital policies and how to communicate with hospital staff. We create a birth plan as well as take actionable steps to make the postpartum period less daunting!

Ratings and reviews
If I could give Christina 10 stars, I would! My wife had a difficult birth that included pre-eclampsia and a c-section. Christina was there with us through every step of the process, taking careful notes and supporting us. She always seemed to know exactly what Roz and I needed to hear as we faced challenging decisions. I highly recommend her to anyone!!

Christina was an incredible doula during my pregnancy, labor and postpartum. She was invaluable to me and my husband during my pregnancy journey. She helped build my birth plan, expertly answered any and all of my questions, met in my home to review laboring positions and pain management techniques we could utilize during labor. She was in frequent communication with me leading up to labor and played an integral role in my labor, supporting me and my husband through active labor and a vaginal birth. My husband and I both felt so much support during my birthing experience and prepared and we owe so much of that to Christina. She is very passionate about what she does, is an active listener and makes you feel at ease even during labor. If we are to get pregnant again, we will want to work with Christina again without hesitation! Highly recommend!

Christina was our doula for our first little one who was born March 2024. She supported my husband and I through pregnancy with her vast knowledge and personal experience in comfort measures and just the whole birthing experience. Christina provided insight and support in developing our birthing plan. She really encouraged us to advocate for ourselves and what we wanted. During delivery Christina provided information on different medical procedures and inductions so that my husband and I could make informed decisions. Her support and knowledge was so helpful and encouraging throughout labor and postpartum. We truly appreciated her being there for us!

Christina was absolutely amazing. I had the world’s longest labor and she was there for the hard parts helping my partner, explaining what some of the steps meant and taking detailed notes just in case. She was wonderful for the additional care as we transitioned from the NICU to home and then after our boy was circumcised weeks later. Honestly — we couldn’t have done it without her.
