About me

Hi there, I am a home birth midwife who has been practicing since 2011. I have recently relocated from South Florida and have opened my availability to serve families in need of a birth doula, postpartum doula, lactation assistance and more while my home birth practice builds up in a new state. In my home birth practice I offer water birth, 70% of my clients choose to give birth in the water). You have freedom to labor and birth in any position you want, you are encouraged to eat and drink in labor, any decisions during your prenatal, birth and postpartum care are up to you. I can hep guide you but you are welcome to refuse almost anything in my care. This is your birth! I have extensive experience with breastfeeding, twins, newborns, etc. I love nurturing and educating families during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This time can be confusing for new parents but having someone to answer questions and provide support is crucial to making this an empowering experience. I’d love to be able to work with your family if we are a good fit. Feel free to reach out, I love to give information over the phone and offer complimentary, in person consultations.

Service introduction

As a postpartum doula, I provide nurturing, non-judgmental support to help families transition smoothly into life with a newborn. My care includes emotional support, newborn guidance, breastfeeding assistance, feeding help, light household tasks, light meal prep and encouragement for maternal rest and recovery. I focus on reducing overwhelm and building confidence, so mothers feel cared for and empowered in their journey. I’d love to speak with you to see if I am the right fit for your family during this beautiful time in your life.

Christa has an amazing heart, she was there to help answer whatever questions I had and put my mind at ease. I got a few hours of sleep while she cared for my baby and then helped with breastfeeding when my baby was ready to nurse. She helped me resolve some nursing concerns and before I knew it my baby was latching without a problem and with no more pain! I would recommend Christa to any new moms!
