Bereavement Support

Always Here For You

 My name is Christa and as a grieving parent myself, I understand the immense pain and heartfelt longing you are experiencing after the loss of your precious child. Through my certification and training as a Birth and Bereavement Doula, I am committed to offering solace and support to individuals navigating the birth process under any circumstances and during any trimester of pregnancy.


Whether you have experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal loss, I am here to gently accompany you on your journey of healing and remembrance. My role is to be a comforting presence, providing resources, reassurance, and personalized keepsakes that honor and cherish the memory of your little one. These keepsakes may include a certificate of life, a specially knitted hat and blanket, 3D castings of your baby's hands and/or feet, hand/foot prints, as well as photographs, among other options, depending on your unique circumstances.


If you or a loved one are in need of compassionate Bereavement Support during this difficult time, please reach out and send a message today. Together, we can navigate the path of healing, remembrance, and finding peace. Feel free to continue scrolling and explore additional resources for pregnancy and infant loss.
