About me

Hi there, I am an experienced midwife who is taking a hiatus from the on call life of being a midwife to be present with my 10 year old twins. I have extensive experience with breastfeeding, twins, newborns, etc. I love nurturing mamas and babies during the postpartum period. This time can be challenging for new parents but having someone to answer questions and provide support is crucial to making this transition smooth and enjoyable. I’d love to be able to work with your family as a postpartum doula.

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!
