Your body, your baby, your birth, your choice.

Hi, I’m Christa 🤍
I’m a Birth & Bereavement Doula, Certified Breastfeeding & Human Milk Feeding Educator, and Placenta Encapsulation Specialist serving families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and loss. I offer compassionate, evidence-based support to help you feel informed, respected, and empowered throughout your journey into parenthood.

​

How I Found My Way to Birth Work

My journey into doula work began in 2017, when I hired a doula for my own birth. That experience profoundly shaped how I view birth support and inspired me to learn everything I could about physiological birth, advocacy, and emotional care. After welcoming my three children through very different birth experiences, I felt called to support other families as a professional doula.

 

Supporting All Births and Birth Settings

As a birth doula, I’ve supported a wide range of birth experiences, including unmedicated births, epidural births, inductions, spontaneous labor, planned cesareans, VBACs (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean), home births, and hospital births. I believe birth is not one-size-fits-all. There is no right or wrong way to give birth — only what feels right for you.

​

Calm, Non-Judgmental Doula Support

I bring a calm, grounded, and empathetic presence to every birth I attend. I have a special passion for supporting VBAC families, pregnancy and birth after loss, and those hoping for unmedicated or low-intervention births, while fully supporting clients who choose epidurals or medical interventions. My goal is always the same: for you to feel safe, heard, and supported.

 

Pregnancy Education, Advocacy, and Informed Choice

I believe education is a vital part of birth preparation. Throughout pregnancy, I provide evidence-based information, emotional support, and guidance so you can make informed decisions with confidence. By building a trusting relationship, I’m able to support you in creating a birth experience that aligns with your values, preferences, and goals.

​

Experience You Can Trust

I have about four years of personal breastfeeding experience and am a Certified Breastfeeding & Human Milk Feeding Educator through Birth Arts International. This training allows me to support families choosing to feed their babies human milk with compassionate, evidence-based education.

I also previously spent over three years working as an on-call doula with a midwife group, gaining extensive experience across a wide range of births and clinical settings. Today, I am fully dedicated to my own doula practice and the families I serve. I am trained in Spinning Babies and incorporate comfort measures and techniques influenced by hypnobirthing and physiological birth practices.

​

Respecting Your Choices

Respect is at the heart of my work. Whether you are planning an epidural or unmedicated birth, a hospital birth or home birth, my role is to support your choices without judgment. I pour my heart into every family I work with and consider it an honor to support you during such a meaningful season.

​

Additional Services

In addition to birth and bereavement doula support, I offer breastfeeding education and support and placenta encapsulation services as separate offerings. These services allow me to continue supporting families during the postpartum period in nurturing, practical ways.
