Christina Buchanan, MSN CNM Midwife in Rockwall, TX

Christina and her team are so amazing words can’t express how grateful I am that she was able to be my midwife … again! I had my first son (who is now almost 9!) with Christina as my midwife when she worked at a birth center and knew once I got pregnant again I wanted her! I was so devastated to realize the birth center was no longer there so I searched the internet to find Christina praying left and right that I’d find her and if I did , that she’d have a spot for me! Not only did she agree to be my midwife but she pushed her family vacation a couple weeks to do so From that moment on , Christina and her team were just as exceptional! If I had questions, they had answers! When I’d be worried, they’d be comforting! If I needed time to think, she gave it! When I was unsure, she was there with the knowledge and wisdom to help me! Through each appointment , each phone call and text , through the labor Christina was there for me with reassurance, comfort, the knowledge behind each decision that needed to be made, through labor she was right there reminding me why I chose the midwife route! I definitely don’t plan on getting pregnant again, but if I do, I certainly know who to call! This second pregnancy was completely different than my first and she truly went the extra mile and for that I will always be grateful and will search the ends of the internet to find her again! Thank you so much for your love and passion in what you do Christina, it certainly shows! ❤️

Christina is the best midwife in the area! We switch 6 months in from a hospital birth to a home birth and we had many many recommendations to check out Christina. We met with her and instantly felt at ease with the big change and felt like we were told everything that we needed to know without any sugar coating it. The birth itself was intense but exactly how I’d want my birth to go. Most of the time it was my husband and I going through every contraction with the team being right there checking on my baby and I. I felt very safe with Christina and her team she brought. All of this to say going from someone who would never do a home birth to recommending it to everyone I know, Christina is the only Midwife I’ll ever use and recommend.

— Taylor Ellinger

I cannot say enough good things about Christian. This was my 6th birth but first home birth. I was a little nervous about it all and did alot of research to find the right midwife. Christian checked all the boxes and from the first visit I knew she was the perfect fit for us. She was so caring towards me and my children. She has an answer for everything. She is full of knowledge and helps in anyway she can. I recommend her a million times over. She is AMAZING and if I have another it will be with Christian.

As a mother of my daughter giving and son-in-law informing me that they made a decision to give birth at home, I was absolutely not ok with this. I listened to them tell me the reasons this is a good thing. I told them my concerns. All the thoughts of watching my daughter go through this pain with nothing to assist her just killed me. My daughter and son-in-law requested that I come over for the next visit with Christina. I agreed. (I had 2 FULL pages of questions) she introduced herself to me when she walked in. Well all sat on the couch, including my son-in-laws mother. Christina started talking immediately about EVERYTHING. I didn't ask any questions while she was talking. once she was finished, she asked if we had any questions. I looked at my 2 pages of questions and noticed she had answered all of them. I was impressed with that. I said, You have answered all my questions. How can that be? LOL. But she did. The day of delivery of course, all the thoughts I had were still on the back of my mind. When Chistina and her girls came in, everything changed. they were on top of everything. it was incredible. ALL of them were incredible. They were all so sweet and informative throughout the entire process. These young assistants came out to let everyone know how things were going every 20 to 30 minutes. I had the privilege of being in the room with my daughter and son-in-law throughout the entire delivery. WHAT A WONDERFUL experience that I will never forget. The most beautiful thing I have ever seen. If we were at the hospital, I would have never had this wonderful experience. All of the lovely assistants would come and rub MY back telling I was doing a great job. I was just doing what I could to comfort my daughter. They did little things like that the entire time. Being able to be there watching my daughter give birth and watching the expressions on her face and my son-in-laws faces throughout all of this, will be with me forever. Watching my daughter give birth to my fist grandchild. AMAZING. Christina was all about my daughter making sure she was good. Christina was amazing from start to finish. With all of this being said, I have completely changed the way I felt at first. I will be all for this again when my daughter and son-in-law decide to have another child. I am and will be team Christina. I could not have ask for a better midwife to take care of my baby girl. What a beautiful experience. I'm forever grateful. Thank you Christina for everything. Thank you Tammy Ellinger

Christina has been such a blessing in my primary care needs over many years. She is available when needed and responsive to any questions or concerns. I highly recommend her for all of your primary care needs. You won’t find a more caring, compassionate NP.

Christina and the entire Rockwall Birth team were the definition of professional, attentive care. This was my wife's first birth, and they made her feel completely supported every step of the way. What stood out most was their patience. As someone who works in a field where I see hospital workflows firsthand, I understand how large healthcare systems often have to care for thousands of patients. While hospitals serve an important role, the experience can sometimes feel rushed and impersonal. Christina and her team were the complete opposite. They took all the time my wife needed and never made her feel like anything other than their top priority. Rockwall Birth is a rare gem. Not only because of the personalized care they provide, but because of the incredible experience and expertise they bring to every birth. Their calm, confident approach was evident in every moment, giving us peace of mind during one of the most important days of our lives. One of the most meaningful parts of our experience was the water birth. Being able to labor and deliver in the warm water made a tremendous difference for my wife by helping ease her pain and allowing her to remain more comfortable throughout the process. It was something that mattered deeply to her, and Christina and her team supported that choice with exceptional skill and confidence. Most importantly, they treated us like family. My wife felt genuinely cared for, respected, and comforted through every stage of labor, and that made all the difference during such an emotional and life-changing milestone. Christina's services are worth every penny. In a world where healthcare can sometimes feel impersonal, Rockwall Birth stands apart. I would recommend Christina and her team without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional, compassionate, and experienced maternity care. We are forever grateful for everything they did for our family.

Christina has been the best midwife I could have ever asked for! She has delivered both of my babies and I came back to her because of the care she shows her moms. When I was searching for a midwife 3 years ago, I specifically wanted a certified nurse midwife because of the level of education and training they receive. Christina is knowledgeable, passionate and loves midwifery. I love how she tailors her approach and even goes out of her way to help educate and bring the dad along the pregnancy and birth journey. I can’t believe I haven’t written a review because I recommend Christina any chance I get!

— Mariana Zayas

Where to even begin! Christina was truly my saving grace. As a first-time mom who knew I wanted a home birth, I went on an extensive search to find the best midwife I could. After hours of researching and praying, I gave Christina a call. She immediately eased my mind with her knowledge and compassion, answering every question and calming every fear. From our very first appointment, my husband and I knew we were exactly where we needed to be. Throughout my entire pregnancy, Christina and her team went above and beyond—answering late-night texts and calls, encouraging and supporting me every step of the way. As my due date approached, Christina helped me feel fully prepared and confident. On 11/25/25, my precious daughter arrived, and I had the most wonderful birth experience. Christina was always one step ahead—she has a true, God-given talent! She made me feel comfortable, in control, and powerful. I now consider her not just my midwife, but a lifelong friend. Christina will be delivering all of my future babies!

I had my IUD removed by Christina. She was so gentle and kind and made the entire experience near painless. She and her student were so kind and welcoming and walked me through the entire procedure by showing me the tools they were using and explaining what they did. I would highly recommend her services.

— Sage Funk

I had a home water birth and Christina (and her assistant Chevjon) did an awesome job! She was super nice at every appointment and really knowledgeable. I’d definitely recommend her!

— Meg Foley

I found Christina back in 2024 after searching for midwives in our area. As a first time mom, I wanted to skip all the scary and traumatic hospital stories and go straight to a midwife. I reached out to Christina and arranged for a zoom call to discuss her services. After that call, both my husband and I felt so at ease with who she was and her skills and experience that we were in agreement that this was what we wanted to do. Unfortunately, we had an early miscarriage, but Christina was extremely helpful and supportive as we got through that even though we had barely gotten to know her. Fast forward to early 2025 and we were pregnant again! I knew just who to call! Christina was very open and honest from the start and warned us that she had personal plans already in place around the time we were due so we knew the options from the start in the event that she was gone when the baby comes. I appreciated that honesty and we still chose to work with her despite that risk. As we got further along in the pregnancy, we grew to love Christina and her team. I felt well informed on what to expect and put at ease for what I was experiencing. Despite our family and friends thinking it was crazy to have a home birth, we never doubted our decision or our trust in Christina and her team. Luckily for us, baby boy came early at 38.5 weeks so we were able to have the whole team with us! We had rented a birth pool from her and had all the supplies ready for when they arrived so by the time I got into the pool I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING. I tore a little bit, but they were able to get me stitched up and into bed with no problems and no pain. When I got up the next morning, the house had been tidied up! Christina came back a few days later and was able to help guide me through breastfeeding and some latching techniques. She performed our son's circumcision a few days later and was very informative and detailed about what to expect in the days after and gave us plenty of supplies for his recovery. Honestly, baby handled it way better than we did so definitely recommend her service for that as well! This amazing woman welcomed us into her home, she laughed with us, remembered our personal life stories, educated us on what to expect as first time parents, and stood by our sides as we welcomed our baby into this world in the comfort of our own home. I originally chose Christina because I could not find a bad review of her and I quickly learned there is a reason for that. Birth is not an easy feat, but I can't imagine going through that without her and her team.

— Ashleigh Dunlap

Christina is AMAZING! She is the best midwife in Rockwall. This was my third home birth (first time with Christina) and she made it the best one yet! I recommend her with my whole heart! She was amazing leading up to birth, so calm and encouraging during birth and amazing during postpartum. I was so confident in Christina's ability to stitch me up after I tore a little. She did an amazing job with my postpartum care, she came to my house several times the following week when I had questions about how my stitches were doing and needed helping nursing). Christina really goes ABOVE AND BEYOND. She also helped me work through some breastfeeding challenges (she used to be a lactation consultant so she is a wealth of knowledge!). I have even called her for advice on how to help my 4 year and 2 year old when they came down with the stomach bug. Christina is your one stop shop for 5 star care from birth through childhood. She really cares and will do anything to help you. She has become a family friend and someone I am so grateful to know!

— Becca Holland

As a husband and someone who deeply cares about my wife’s well-being, I couldn’t recommend a better midwife than Christina Buchanan. If you looked up the word “amazing” in the dictionary, you’d probably just find her smiling picture. Christina didn’t just deliver our baby, she delivered peace of mind, answered every question, and somehow made us feel like we were her only clients. 10 / 10, highly recommend. Best midwife in DFW, hands down, and if you think otherwise, you probably just haven’t met her yet. Her heart and soul are fully in this work and that’s what makes her truly special.

— Patrick J. Hill

Christina has been absolutely amazing! I went into my 37 week appointment 5cm dilated and super ripe. She reassured me if I wanted a baby that day I could most definitely have one! With my first baby (different midwife) I wanted a water birth as well but ended up having him on the car. So it was really important for me to have baby #2 at home with no surprises lol. & Christiana had a hand in making sure that happened. She’s professional and confident and made it clear any decision is based off what I’m most comfortable with (within reason). If I ever planned to go for baby #3 (I’m not) I would choose her 100 times over again

— Taylor Hill M.S. CCC-SLP

I will try to make this short and concise but I could really write a novel of a testimony. I have three babies my first two were born in a hospital and both experiences were less than ideal. They were medically uncomplicated births but still left me fearful and unhappy. My second child birth left with me with a lot of fears around child birth that I had to work through. So with my third child, who just turned 6 months old, I knew I needed to do something different. I wanted a home birth and found Christina online, by chance really. Now, my husband was very against having a home birth but Christina was so kind and agreed to meet with us to just answer questions my husband had. This one meeting changed his mind, still hesitant though and a bit fearful he agreed to move forward with a home birth but only if Christina could be our midwife. She took such good care of all of us during my pregnancy she was always available to answer our questions provide support, comfort, and of course excellent prenatal care. The birth of our child was not without complication though, I ended up hemorrhaging after I delivered our son. I do not write this to frighten anyone I write this to show that even in the unlikely event a complication arises Christina and her team are HIGHlY skilled and capable they will take care of you and your baby. I did not need to be transported her team calmly and confidently took care of me at home. I know had I been in the hospital it would have been a bigger deal, it would have been traumatic and with Christina it was not at all. I knew I was safe and well taken care of. When I reflect on this last birth I only have fond, happy, joyful memories. I do not even think about the fact that I hemorrhaged it was such a small issue really. It was THE most positive experience, and truly one of the most incredible things I’ve experienced. I could not recommend Christina enough as a midwife. I wish I would have had her for all my pregnancies. My husband and I still talk about how “badass” Christina is and how amazing the birth of our third child was. If I were to have another child I would immediately call Christina.

Just like any new Texan, first-time mom would do—I went on the FB groups to look for a holistic provider. I quickly realized how many people just went with the most popular “it” provider, which I knew right away wasn’t what I wanted. I searched high and low, met with a few providers in person, and none of them were what I was looking for. I wanted someone knowledgeable, who put me and my baby’s safety as their #1 priority. Someone who could give me options, allow me to make decisions without judgment, answer all my questions, and someone I could truly trust to help me in the hard moments. Christina called us on her way home from a birth, and as soon as my husband and I got off the phone with her, we instantly knew we wanted her and saw the value she provided. What we didn’t know was just how truly amazing she was. We saw the reviews, we saw the moms in and out of her home, but it wasn’t until we were in it that we realized how incredible she really is. She was so responsive. There were a few times I texted her in between appointments with concerns, and she immediately made time for me. She was great at knowing when to text versus call, which was very comforting. She always made sure I felt good about what I was reaching out for and provided me with extra resources so I could do follow-up research. My birth was above and beyond what I could have asked for as a first-time mom, and I don’t think I would have had that experience without her. She knew the birth I was hoping for, and through every big decision she kept that in mind, helping me achieve the most amazing home birth. She showed up for us in more ways than I could have ever imagined and prepared me for everything possible. During labor she was a calm voice and steady encouragement—not just for me but especially for my husband. She guided him on how to be included in every step, and it made the whole experience something we truly shared together. The way he describes our birth to everyone: “It was a party—we ate, we hung out, and we had a baby!” After birth she checked on me and the baby often. We didn’t live close, but I know she would have been there in person more if we had. She was always easy to get a hold of. Our daughter had a little jaundice, and before it could get bad, she lent us her bili blanket. That’s just who she is—not only a wealth of knowledge, but so generous. She either has exactly what you need or the resources to get it for you. At every appointment she gave us so much value, and we were treated like good friends. We drove over an hour each way to see her, and it was hands down the best investment we could have made. We absolutely loved her student midwives too! Honestly, it felt like a sad breakup when our baby was born, not knowing how often we’d get to see her again. She became a dear friend, and I would recommend her to absolutely everyone. Christina was a calm, steady presence in the chaos and someone you will never regret having on your team. She’s a hard worker, always puts her mamas first, and is constantly learning to be the best provider she can be. We truly loved our experience with her and will use her for every baby going forward. Our baby girl was born on May 13th, and this review is long overdue. I could not say enough amazing things about her. Our birth was beautiful, and I know for a fact we wouldn’t have had the same experience if we hadn’t chosen her.

I cannot begin to express the dedication and quality of a midwife Christina was! My wife originally reached out to Christina when we were trying to have another baby. We had been trying for 3 months or so when my wife reached out and she helped us every step of the way! We were ecstatic when we found out we were having another baby after another 5 months of trying. I had never heard of a midwife giving preconception care! Christina was also amazing during the pregnancy process. She even comes out to your home for the checkups throughout the pregnancy. She overall is the best midwife I’ve ever seen. My wife’s first birth experience was in a hospital and was not very good. Christina helped turn her life around and gave her a wonderful home birth experience (in her own home!) and it was just such a wonderful experience. Plus Christina is also a nursing midwife and has much better experience helping women give birth than any doctor I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend!!!

— Zach Styacich

My pregnancy wasn't the easiest to navigate, and I had multiple problems pop up that would have prevented me from having a home birth but Christina stuck with me through it all (especially with the hard and scary times) and made my overall experience the best I've ever had. All questions, answered. Any fears, she encouraged me. And I ended up having my sweet boy at home with her and her incredible team. I loved every minute with them and now months later I still go to her for any questions or concerns I have involving me and him. 1000/10 would recommend using her!

— Rachel Cannon

I am writing this review 10 months postpartum sitting next to my beautiful daughter!!! I was extremely nervous about having a home birth, I did not know what to expect and I was anxious about the whole experience…until I met Christina for the first time. When we spoke, she told me that it would be hard and painful but told me my body was made for this and that I could do it and that she wouldn’t give up as long as I didn’t. Her full confidence in me, herself, and her experience immediately convinced me this was the route I wanted to go. The entire process was phenomenal. She truly cares and will genuinely move mountains to help in any way that she can. There were many times I texted or called in the middle of the night with some random pregnancy symptom I was worried about, and I always received a knowledgeable and reassuring response. Even now, 10 months later, she is always available when I have questions or concerns, she is truly a blessing. I cannot imagine how different my birth would have been had I not decided to have Christina as my midwife. Even amidst some inevitable complications during and after the birth, Christina always remained calm, collected, and confident, which always made me feel confident. I needed an IV afterward and one of the parts to the tube was missing so Christina and her team sat there and manually pumped IV fluids from a syringe into the tube for over 30 minutes, they were amazing. Having a home birth was the hardest thing I have ever done but with Christina’s constant support, knowledge, encouragement, and skill, I would do it over and over again and I would NEVER want to give birth any other way!

— Abigail

I’m going to try to not make this a novel but it’s hard to not mention every detail because our experience with Christina and her team was a complete God sent blessing, & I mean everything exceeded our expectations! Christina is amazing and super knowledgeable/experienced and she makes the whole process appear seamless. This birth experience was one of the most cherished moments of our lives and this awesome team made all the difference I cannot articulate how beautiful & perfect it was. To have this level of support from pregnancy through circumcision from Rockwall Birth was invaluable! We feel forever grateful and indebted to Christina & team! I cannot recommend her enough!

— Camille Bowie

I can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Christina. From the very beginning, she brought a calm, confident, and deeply knowledgeable presence into our birth journey. Choosing a home birth was a big decision for our family, and she supported us every step of the way Throughout prenatal visits, she took the time to listen, explain, and make sure we felt fully informed and empowered. When labor began, she showed up exactly when we needed her, bringing a sense of peace and reassurance into our home. Her guidance during birth was both gentle and firm when it needed to be, and she created a safe space for everything to unfold naturally. This birth was everything I hoped it would be, and I know that wouldn’t have been possible without Christina. If you are considering a home birth, I wholeheartedly recommend her.

We chose to use Christina and Rockwall Birth after having a variety of experiences with multiple previous pregnancies - hospitals, birth center, and home births. We've experienced traditional OB-Gyn doctor/patient interactions, as well as other midwives that were professional, personal, kind, and empowering. Therefore, our standards were pretty high for the type of care we desired to receive, and Christina absolutely delivered on the level that we needed. She was readily available for questions and meeting us as we best needed throughout the pregnancy - having done it a few times before, her approach was to let us set the pace for how much care and appointments we felt that we needed, and we absolutely loved her approach to guiding us through all of the prenatal care. Unfortunately, we aren't able to rate Christina on the actual birthing process, because sudden bleeding in our 39th week signaled to us that something was wrong, and we had to ambulance to a hospital and have an unplanned, urgent C-section. It was not a preventable or predictable complication, and yet Christina and Janikka rapidly sprang into action on our behalf, showing up at the same time that paramedics did, and remaining with us all the way through delivery. Christina assisted greatly with explanation of hospital information and helping to guide and confirm our decision making once there, acting as a type of liaison between us and hospital staff, in moments where we definitely needed that assistance. This experience lent us a unique take on Christina's professionalism and capabilities in a way we couldn't have seen if the home birth had gone as planned, and in that regard, we hope this review can give context to any readers that worry over things that could go wrong outside of a hospital setting. Rest assured, if Christina is part of your care team, you are in exceptional hands - Christina blends well her previous experience of being an OB hospital nurse with also being a knowledgeable and empowering midwife. We can't imagine walking through that roller coaster of a birthing experience with a different midwife than Christina, and are ecstatic that she was such a large part of the team effort that brought us our healthy and growing baby girl! We recommend her to ANY other birthing couple with the utmost of confidence.

— Gwen Sutphin

In reference to Christina’s circumcision services: I wish I could rate more than 5 stars. Christina teaches to every learning style, sends home all necessary supplies and is clearly passionate about the work she does. We visited her home office which felt cleaner and cozier than most doctor’s offices. She was very precise in the procedure while also comforting us through the process. I found that I preferred this over the experience in the hospital as I got the privilege to see/learn about the procedure and comfort my son. If I had it to do over again, I would go to Christina every time.

— Reiney Jones

Giving a home birth was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life, and it would not have been as meaningful, as beautiful without my dearest Christina being by my side cheering me up, restoring my faith in myself and my body over and over again gracefully, and holding space for me at every surge. She is a walking breathing angel. I am so grateful for her for being the best midwife any woman can ask for. She was there for every visit throughout my pregnancy , holding space for my emotions and my questions. If you can get her to deliver your little angels, you are blessed. The amount of care and attention she gives you is beyond words. She is someone I will forever be grateful for. I hope every women gets the experience of their life time in this way. ❤️

I had the privilege of having Christina as my midwife for the home birth of my third baby, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a more supportive, skilled, and compassionate midwife. Her knowledge and experience shine through in everything she does. She has an incredible ability to honor and support the natural rhythm of birth while also being prepared and capable when medical attention is needed. I always felt safe in her care, knowing she could handle any situation with grace and professionalism. Christina also performed a professional circumcision for our baby with gentleness and expertise. The process was smooth and reassuring from start to finish. And so much education was given during the process to reassure the parents on the process and healing. What touched me most, though, was the postpartum support I received— after giving birth I had an episode of extreme dizziness and light-headedness that she helped me through in such a caring manner. And also especially during a difficult postpartum night when I spiked a fever of 103°F. Christina was available with immediate support, ensuring I recovered safely and we never felt alone in the process. She’s a rare and gifted midwife—one who truly understands how to blend holistic wisdom with medical skill. I am endlessly grateful for the role she played in this beautiful birth journey.

— Sabirah Shuaybi

Rockwall Birth is an answered prayer. When I begin to think of how we were lead to Christina and her incredible team, I know that only God could have done it. We immediately felt peace since our first meeting with her. Her passion and expertise are a beautiful testimony that she is doing exactly what God has called her to and we are incredibly grateful for her obedience! Our home birth was such an amazing experience. There was laughter, encouragement, and comfort the entire time. We felt safe and deeply loved. What a blessing it was to experience our home birth with Rockwall Birth.

— Ruby Garcia

Christina has delivered 3/3 of my kiddos! Our first was our first ever experience with a midwife, we had no close friends or relatives who had done it and she was extremely informative and accommodating of the level of involvement that I was comfortable with as the husband (I was very involved with the first). With our second and 3rd it was such a confident experience because of how well the first went. We didn’t have a worry in the world and even invited her team and some trainees to help and it was the best! Will be using her for the fourth when we’re ready and always refer her to parents looking to have the midwife-home birth experience

— Blake W. Gann

If I could give Christina’s midwifery 6 stars I would! I decided to switch from my ob to a midwife at 35weeks. I simply googled midwives near me and after calling a few in my area, Christina was the ONLY one that felt like home and not just a health provider. Although it was scary switching so late and also not knowing what to expect, Christina made me feel comfortable our first phone call. Not only was she attentive and knowledgable, she shows true compassion. Not once did I ever feel pressured, instead I felt guided and supported with every decision. Her team was AMAZING and I truly created a bond with every single one of them. My fiancé and 3 year old were involved which made unforgettable memories, my daughter now tells everybody ‘mommy pooped my brother out’ . Christina truly gave me the birth of my dreams! Not to mention, her credentials and expierience made me trust her even more, aside her being her real authentic self while still being professional. If you are thinking about midwifery CHRISTINA IS YOUR GIRL! Just to add to how GREAT my experience was, after swearing up and down i’m done having kids, I now want to have another because my perspective on birth went from scary to magical, thanks to the proper guidance and the hands of Christina! She also did my sons circumsision! 10/10 expierience. He did not cry ONCE and healed perfectly. I actually cried more than he did. This is truly her second nature

— Luisa

I don’t even know where to begin honestly! Christina is such a beautiful and amazing person - her and Janikka really made me feel so loved, heard, protected, etc. I come from a family who doesn’t really rely in holistic medicine, let alone natural home births. They think epidural is the answer and get as many drugs as possible to lessen the pain. My mom wasn’t the biggest fan of me going through a home birth and I kept being told by multiple people to just “give up” “you’re going to be in pain” “you can’t handle it” “you’re going to regret it” and so on. Christina never gave up on me and helped me through my fears - of course it hurt, but she was right there every step of the way. I felt so at peace with my decision and fell in love with my midwives so much so that, I CRIED after I had the baby knowing I wouldn’t be seeing them like I was during pregnancy. That’s just how at home she made you feel. She truly becomes your friend and not just a midwife. This birthing experience was so eye opening and unlike anything I’ve ever been through before. It’s all thanks to Christina honestly. I wouldn’t have been able to push through if it weren’t for her rubbing my back, giving me water, helping me eat, and just being so attentive. I would 100% go through this again but, 1,000% with Christina by my side.

— Danielle Morales

Christina and Janikka gave us the best support during my first pregnancy! Being a first timer my anxieties were high and they made sure I felt comfortable asking any questions and always made themselves available to answer them. When it came time to have our baby girl, I couldn’t have asked for a better first birth. They listened to me and followed my body’s lead while making sure we were safe and as comfortable as possible. I am so grateful we had them for this journey!

Originally I was very against the idea of having a home birth. I’m a firefighter and the idea of having to call 911 for birth related complications really concerned me given the fact that I’ve had to deal with similar circumstances at work. My wife really wanted to explore that option mostly because of the level of care she received on both hospital births we had and the type of prenatal care that OBGYN doctors typically provide. I was mostly afraid of the potential risks that come with giving birth and not being in a hospital setting. After meeting with Christina I felt much better about my wife having a home birth under her. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She was able to answer all of my questions and make me feel more comfortable with having a birth outside of the hospital. The type of prenatal care that my wife received with her was incredibly superior to the care she receive with an OB. Christina is very approachable and answered all of our questions and concerns throughout the pregnancy almost instantly. OBs and doctors are so hard to reach. There’s no way you can match the level of care she will give. On the day of the delivery Christina and her assistants were amazing to my wife. Went above and beyond to give her comfort and make the birth much better than what my wife had in a hospital setting. There was one complication with my wife after birth and Christina was able to quickly recognize and solve it. My wife and I are extremely pleased with how everything went and we are so thankful that we had Christina do the birth of our kid.

My wife and I have been so impressed with how excellent Christina is at all aspects of her job. She really cares so much about what she does. We felt so safe and confident with her at the birth and highly recommend her to everyone. You won’t find someone more experienced, passionate, and skilled.

— JD Lett

Christina is a nurse midwife who truly goes above and beyond for her clients every day (and night). She is passionate about what she does and is extremely knowledgeable and skilled. I have never felt safer giving birth than in her care and my husband felt the same. She is humble, safety oriented, and so experienced. Throughout all the appointments and the birthing process she consistently was so thorough, kind, and helpful. Saying we trust her is such an understatement. I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with her expertise and what a joy she is to be around. I’d recommend her to absolutely everyone.

— Mackenzie Lett

5 stars! We love Christina!

— Zach Vertz

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina! From the very beginning, she was more than just a midwife—she was a source of comfort, support, and kindness. Her caring nature and genuine love for her work made my pregnancy and birth experience truly special. She always took the time to listen, answer my questions, and ensure I felt confident and cared for every step of the way. Even two years later, we still have a relationship, which speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. If you’re looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and dedicated, I wholeheartedly recommend Christina! There isn’t anything she can’t do! Christina is truly a blessing!

— Brenda Vertz

We met Christina through her mobile IV work years ago, and from there she became both my daughter and my daughter-in-law‘s Midwife and has delivered my last two grandsons. She has become might midwife as well, as I experience symptoms from hormonal shifts. She has also performed 3 of the 4 grandson’s circumcisions perfectly. (One boy was born in a hospital prior to meeting Christina.) She is brilliant but still compassionate, supportive and encouraging. We love her and her staff, so much so that she’s invited to birthday parties for the boys. I could not imagine a better experience than we’ve had with her and both girls only wish they’d used her for their first births as well.

— Michelle Knight

Christina is absolutely amazing! She inserted my IUD, and the entire experience was incredibly smooth. She was not only professional but also gentle, kind, and reassuring. She took the time to educate me, ensuring I felt completely safe and at ease. The whole process was relaxed and peaceful, far exceeding my expectations. I can’t recommend her enough—she truly cares about her patients and goes above and beyond in her work!

— Elle

Christina helped me so much as a postpartum consultant! I originally was looking for some help with nursing, and in addition to some new techniques and a confidence boost, got some swaddling, feeding, and sleeping guidance. You can tell she has a plethora of knowledge from professional training and her own experience. I’m so grateful for being connected to her!!!

— Melissa LaCoste

My first experience with Christina was with my first pregnancy at a birth center. She was assisting at my birth, and when there was concerns over my baby's fetal heart tones, she knew exactly what to say to empower me to deliver my baby. She was confident in what she needed to do, and helped me feel that we would be okay under her care. Fast forward to early last year when I found out I was pregnant with my 4th baby, and my previous midwife was retired. Christina was my first choice, and I'm so grateful we were able to work with her again! She was approachable and flexible with how we wanted to move forward with choices throughout the pregnancy and birth. I was able to talk with her about any fears or questions I had, and she listened and was able to walk me through my options and give some advice on the fear I was experiencing. My birth was very fast, but she was there and calm and confident, which is just what I needed. She was also very available with any questions or concerns I had postpartum. I can't recommend her enough, she was such a blessing to me and my family!

— Bridgett Cronin

I’ve known Christina now for almost 7 years, she has helped me through both of my pregnancies, deliveries and postpartum experiences. Seeing her in a different birthing center the first go around and now her own, it’s amazing to have an even better experience the 2nd go around now that she can run everything herself. The level of care and kindness and support truly is unnatural, in the sense of getting to experience someone thriving in their God given talent and operating in that 100%. I selfishly just want to be bffs with her just to be around, and in her world more to enjoy living life together, she is just a ray of peaceful sunshine. I will forever treasure my time with her, despite having the worst time of my life (twice) through pregnancy. 😂. Both pregnancies I had severe HG . First go around I was in labor for 92 hours and pushed for 3 hours. Yes it sounds dramatic, it kind of was. Christina was crazily there the whole time, balancing her family life, and having a young baby herself at the time. Second go around labor was so much faster and smoother and the support team she brought with her could not have been more perfect. I love my kids. But I hate being pregnant with a passion, my body just does not like it and Christina kept me sane. I also have had a rough postpartum experience this go around, lots of stress compounding with ppd and ppa with no support from my job that didn’t believe me( that’s a whole nother story), she helped me navigate it all and literally had my jaw fall open with the amazing letter she wrote me to get my manger off my back(Thank you to Blake too!)….All that to say, she’s the best. If we have anymore kids ever, it’s a requirement that she be my healthcare provider(you can’t retire I’m sorry). There’s no one better. I have talked to so many other moms and having a good midwife can really make or break the experience. Do your research!! It is not common to find someone with the years of varied experience that Christina has. Not to mention all the “upgrades” she has like the ultrasounds, IVs if needed, a blanket for jaundice if needed, all the connections she has, etc. She’s like a Midwife Mary Poppins, her bag of skills and things on hand seems to always be practically perfect in every way. 🩷🩷🩷

I cannot recommend Christina and her birthing team enough. Her knowledge and words of wisdom were so comforting. She made sure that I felt heard and seen throughout my entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. She was always available to talk to me and troubleshoot any pregnancy symptoms that I was dealing with. She was also always happy to discuss the additional mental and emotional difficulties that pregnancy brings along with it. When it came time for me to give birth, she and her midwife student handled everything with such efficiency and grace, all while making sure that I was cared for and supported. Once I gave birth, I was able to relax in my own bed with my brand new baby and know that we were both in her trusted hands. Christina will forever have a special place in my heart for giving me a redeeming birth experience and for loving me (and my whole family) throughout and after my pregnancy.

— colleen davis

We are extremely thankful to Christina for her knowledge and support helping us with our pregnancy and birth. She is the best option and so very worth it.

— Tyler Gardner

Had the best experience working with Christina and her birth team!!! As a second time mom who was used to the hospital experience I can truly say I will never go back…I felt safe, seen, and heard through every single interaction with Christina and at my home birth…She is extremely professional but also personal! I can’t say enough good things and if you are considering doing a home birth definitely do it…You will be in great hands!

— Motivated Mama

We had the best experience with Christina! She was my midwife from the beginning of my pregnancy, then my third trimester hit and we were faced with different challenges -preeclampsia, breeched baby. She walked me through every step and let me know my options. I ended up with a C-section in a hospital, the exact opposite of what we intended for, but I had the most amazing experience even with that! She is knowledgeable, caring, and still responds quickly to any questions I have about my 5 month old. She is someone you will have by your side far past the delivery date. So thankful for Christina and her awesome team.

— Destiny Miller

I had the most wonderful and amazing experience with Christina. She was attentive and caring and was willing to come/stay with us at home for as long as we needed. She was a very great listener at every appointment; offering insight, answering questions but ultimately following my intuition. If our family weren’t complete, I’d be so excited to have her by my side for another next pregnancy!

— Terrell Spiegel

In the beginning, I was very skeptical. Not knowing a thing about midwives. After just one meeting with Christina, I was convinced. Both her and her midwife in training Janikka, were informative and professional for the entirety of my wifes pregnancy. If you are having a baby and wanting a homebirth, I absolutely reccomend Christina. I can't reccomend her enough honestly. She helped bring my baby into this world and made sure my wife was safe while doing it. Not only is she a medical professional but a stellar human being that I've had the pleasure of knowing. I put their lives in her hands, and she did NOT disappoint.

— Garrett Turner

An amazing experience!!! From the viewpoint of a first-time dad: Christina is an awe inspiring person. She loves her patients and she adores her job. Truly a birthing savant. We had several obstacles to overcome during the duration of my wife’s pregnancy, but Christina had a continuously joyful attitude when it came to every issue. We never once felt like we were an inconvenience to her. We always felt like family. We had every single question answered every single time. Unfortunately, the night before our beautiful son was born into this world, we decided to go to the hospital for delivery. My wife had a few complications that arose towards the end of her pregnancy and they all came together to help us make this decision. Christina sat up with us the night before, and eased our fears, our worries, and our doubts. She came to the hospital with us and walked with us through every process. She was our advocate, when we felt as if we didn’t have a voice. We now have a thriving baby boy who is perfect in every way. Christina has stayed in communication with us constantly. She is still answering every question and concern. Despite not using her services for the delivery, she still cares deeply about us and our family. I encourage you to just meet with her if you are on the fence about home birth. I promise, one conversation will convince you that Christina is the BEST option.

— Noah Sanders

Review Well, I’m writing this review right now with tears in my eyes because…Christina broke up with me. OK, maybe I’m stretching the story and perhaps I’m one month postpartum and Christina’s midwifery services have come to an end and it’s been just an amazing pregnancy and birth experience and I’m sad that it’s over😩lol. Christina has been warm, welcoming, understanding, informational from day one. Seriously! When I reached out to inquire initially, Christina responded promptly and has always been available. From my husband and I experiencing and navigating an early miscarriage with her, to recently having the best home water birth experience surrounded by family, Christina’s care and support goes above and beyond. Even during my pregnancy appointments, Christina listened, shared relative info, discussed options, checked on my health and the baby’s health and just talked to me. Her appointments felt more like conversations and I have never felt like ‘just another mom/number’ with her midwifery service. So please insert all of the amazing qualities of a great midwife here ____. And I’ll also add, coming from a mom who was looking to experience another natural birth, I’m so glad I found d Christina. If you’re shopping around for a midwife who’s beyond qualified, loves babies, and has a heart for expectant mothers, check her out now. And then also buy yourself some Kleenex in advance to prepare for when Christina says it’s your last official postpartum check in. Lol. She’s really is the best (and of course her assistant Janikka too. Best team ever). Thank you Christina! For everything!

— Jenny C

Christina is an incredible midwife! I met with her when searching for a midwife for my second born in 2019. My first son was born in the hospital and I knew I wanted a different experience. The prenatal visits were gentle and educational. She took time with me during each visit and when I was dealing with extreme morning sickness she provided options that allowed for relief until I got through that phase . When things did not go as planned ( as birth sometimes does) she continued to support and advocate for me! I also worked with her with my third birth! She is a rockstar! Truly, she was there with me the whole time and I was able to experience the most incredible home birth. Christina knows what she’s doing and has a true passion and love for supporting women and bringing babies earth-side in a safe and loving way .

— Linzy Goetz

I was not a birthing mother, but the Momma of two daughters who both chose to use Christina's services, within 2 months of each other. (So I got to be around Christina quite a bit!) I am blown away by how knowledgeable she is, on a huge variety of subjects. And, when something cropped up that she was unsure about with my oldest daughter's pregnancy, she dove in and researched it, reaching out to those who could help and in doing so, made it possible for her to have the home birth she wanted. I had every confidence in her skills and felt so secure in my girls' care under her watch. She went above and beyond for their needs, always laid out the facts to help them be able to make their own decisions with the info. As the Momma of the birthing mommas, and a doula myself, Christina even allowed me to be as much help as my girls wanted me to be - with no feeling of toes being stepped on or any feeling of me being an intrusion. The atmosphere was one of confidence, "you got this", and "I'm right here, we can do this" from Christina, as well as her assistant Janika (spelling?). Both were phenomenal throughout. Christina even honored our family in both births, both boys, in doing their delayed circumcisions per our religious custom. So special. I can't say enough about the respect I have for Christina and her sweet gang there at Rockwall Birth. A+++, in my opinion. Top notch.

— D. Miller

Christina is more than just a midwife and after meeting with her for a few minutes you will quickly understand what I mean. She instantly makes you feel like family and that doesn’t change in nine months after she catches your baby. (My last baby was born in 2019 & she’s still the only one I trust with my families health) She is patient and kind and makes you feel like your pregnancy and birth is the most important one in the world. No question is too dumb, no request is too demanding and you never feel like you are rushed like you do in an OBGYN office. 10/10 recommend.

— Laci Martin

5 stars all the way! I have gotten to experience Christina in a different way. I met her because she delivered my bestie’s babies, but for me she has been a resource for me in all the womanly ways. For example, without fail Christina can expect a message asking for assistance with womanly matters every summer when the heat spikes. It’s such an annoying thing that happens to me, but she is always there to help me out and I cannot express how thankful I am that she is! Just this morning I’ll be driving to my pharmacist to pick up my meds that’ll clear things up! She’s really wonderful. She deliveries babies, YES! But she also does other incredibly helpful things as well! 5 stars all day!

— Kristina Smith

WOW! I am blown away by Christina's practice and demeanor. Her professional acumen paired with her impeccable bedside manner should be the standard for healthcare and wellness practices. I didn't have the privilege of experiencing her midwifery services- as I did not know about her practice...BUT she did do my son's circumcision. The level of empathy that she brings to what can be a jarring experience for new parents and baby is beautiful. I wish everyone could have the experience we had for such a milestone in baby's life.

— Khianna Calica

We are 2 months postpartum after giving birth at home under the care of Christina with Rockwall Birth. Let me start by emphasizing that Christina warrants every glowing review she receives! Having previously attempted a home birth with a different midwife team for our first child, which unfortunately ended in a hospital transfer, we were eager to try again with the hope of a successful home birth. What sets Christina apart is not just her impressive knowledge and skill (despite her age, she's one of the most competent care providers I've had the pleasure of working with - I wish she could be my primary care practitioner!), but also her sincere desire to ensure the well-being of both mother and baby. If every healthcare provider had Christina's skill & compassionate heart, particularly in the realms of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care, our world would undoubtedly be a better place. Throughout pregnancy, we felt thoroughly supported, informed, and empowered, thanks to Christina's guidance. Each visit with her and Janikka, her midwife student, was a delight, leaving us genuinely sad when our time together came to an end. Christina always offered us options, trusting our decisions after carefully weighing the benefits and risks—an empowering experience all-around. The birth itself went very smooth. Arriving at our home at midnight, Christina exuded a sense of joy, calm, and confidence that put us at ease. Her reassuring presence allowed me to relax and trust the process, even during moments when doubt crept in. Moreover, Christina's support extended well into the postpartum phase, particularly during a challenging period of sudden postpartum high blood pressure and other unexpected issues. She went above and beyond for weeks, providing unwavering support and assistance, even coordinating urgent imaging and specialist referrals on her days off. Her dedication and care during this critical time were truly remarkable and deeply appreciated. I am beyond grateful for her care. It's also worth noting that Christina offers circumcision services, although it's a separate business and deserves its own review. Nonetheless, having this option for our baby boy from someone we trusted implicitly was greatly appreciated. We experienced positive, perfect results all along the way, further underscoring Christina's exceptional skill and dedication to comprehensive care. If you're in search of a midwife, I wholeheartedly recommend Rockwall Birth. If our family were to embark on another pregnancy journey, Christina would be our ONLY choice. From the depths of our hearts, we extend our sincerest gratitude to Christina (and Janikka!) for the exceptional care and support.

— Alyssa Gullion

Christina was my daughter’s midwife and she is the absolute BEST!! Coming from my own experience with a traditional doctor attended hospital birth I was completely in awe of her expertise, professionalism, compassionate demeanor and extensive knowledge! It was like having a dear friend and five star care provider all rolled up into one! I had the honor of attending many of the prenatal visits as well as the birth of my grandson (at midnight!) and witnessed firsthand Christina’s calm, kind, reassuring confidence as my daughter gave birth! Her stellar care continued in the weeks following way beyond the call of duty. Her amazing team included wonderful Janikka who was a complete delight and consistently served with joy! I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Christina and the whole Rockwall Birth team…they are a blessing beyond words to our family and I’m sure they will be to YOURS too!!

— Cari

Christina is the absolute best!! I shopped around for a good midwife that was medically trained and provided care that was specific to me. Christina was perfect. She made me feel comfortable during the entire pregnancy and reassured me throughout the whole process. When birth time came, she took care of everything for me and made me feel so special and important. She is the real deal. If you are looking for a midwife, please do yourself a favor and hire her. I also used her for my sons circumcision and the process was so seamless and she educated me so much on how and what to do throughout the healing process. Lastly, going into the home birth route, my husband was incredibly skeptical and anxious. After the entire process with Christina, he is converted. Highly, highly recommend.

— Brooke Stevens

Having Christina as a midwife was by far the best decision I made during pregnancy. Having moved to Texas in the 2nd trimester I was worried about finding a good midwife that I could connect with and trust, as soon as I met Christina though I knew she was the right choice. She has gone above and beyond to be there for me and support me. Thank you Rockwall birth for making my homebirth dream come true!

— Ella de Leon

Working with Christina is truly a wonderful experience. She puts everything she has into taking care of her patients. You can tell it’s where her hearts passion is. I gave birth to my third child recently. Christina is the third midwife I’ve used and this was the most beautiful, healing birth I’ve had. I could not recommend her more.

— Meagan Noel

Was not sure what to expect when my wife said she wanted to go with a midwife & a home birth over the traditional Dr + hospital route. After going through the process I can wholeheartedly vouch for Christina and her team. They are incredibly passionate about their vocation and you can see the effort they put into providing the mom, baby and family compassionate care. Additionally I must note that if you are considering a midwife, that you are wise to choose one with a nurse background. We experienced a few road bumps along the way and it was in those moments where Christina's medical background was able to really impact the situation. If we are blessed with another child, we will certainly be calling Christina!

— Nathan Pinto

I cannot say enough great things about Christina! We moved from out of state in the 11th hour of pregnancy and she didn’t miss a beat. She swooped in and relieved so much stress for me during that time and has continued to be available for help and advice beyond her basic duties. She’s more than just a wonderful midwife and I’m so grateful for her!

— Caitlin Akins

Had my first homebirth with Christina. She's very knowledgeable in the medical aspect and has wonderful bedside manner. Appointments were laidback and informed. They never felt rushed. She was also easy to contact with any questions. I didn't have an exact birth plan but Christina helped guide me through the labor and delivery offering suggestions for different positions and being a cheerleader as well. I never felt pressured to do anything I wasn't comfortable with. Overall I had a wonderful experience with Rockwall Birth and Christina!

— Jazz Duran

This was the third time Christina was my midwife. I really like how she supported all my desicions, bith with information and encouragement. I love that she always educate me about the different options there are. I really love how much she knows, I dont have to worry about the medical side of our birth because I trust her. I woudl use her again if I have another baby.

— Sarah Martin

We had the absolute best experience with Christina. Our first child was born in a hospital and it was a traumatic experience for us. We chose Rockwall Birth for our second child and it was the best choice we made. Christina also performed the circumcision and that was a breeze and everything healed really well. Christina makes you feel very comfortable around her and really makes it a point to spend lots of time you and answers all of our questions. Another big point that was important to us, was that she was straight up and honest with everything. She definitely feels like a friend/family member after all is done. We can’t thank you enough with all of your help!!!

— Jonathan Welch

I had such a great experience with Christina. She was with me through thick and thin. You can definitely see the passion she has for you, your child, and your family. I can’t explain it in words. She will definitely meet your needs. I treated me as a unique mom compared to her other clients. I believe she treats everyone like that. Therefore, she customizes her care to you. And she come to the home to visit, which helped me prepare for the day I gave birth, just the familiarity of her being in my home and delivering my beautiful baby. Every moment was precious and unforgettable. Thank you Christina

— Billy-Jayme Garrigan

Christina is amazing!! She’s extremely helpful with any questions I have regarding birth control and has made me feel safe and welcome since first seeing her about birth control

— Harper Wood

We had the best birth experience here. Christina has been present for 3 of our 4 children's births as well as providing care during a miscarriage and has been an absolute pillar of calm support each time. She is knowledgeable in her field, respectful, caring and wonderful about helping me feel empowered to trust my body when its performing the awe-inspiring and more than a little intimidating task of bringing forth a new life. During each pregnancy she has plenty of suggestions and answers to questions that pop up. During the labor for baby #4, the things I had put into my birth plan just didn't feel right and I ended up doing almost the opposite as far as labor and birthing positions. She was wonderful about just rolling with it, not pushing me to stick with anything that didn't feel right and suggesting alternatives that might work instead. I would absolutely recommend Rockwall Birth and Christina to everyone from a first time mom to someone who's already got a parcel of munchkins running around and is looking for a new care provider. She provides a wonderful blend of information, encouragement and friendship for the journey of welcoming the newest member of the family.

— Bethany Cates

An Unforgettable Journey of Empowerment and Blessings! I am incredibly grateful for the remarkable care we received from Christina during the most transformative experience of our life. From the very first meeting, her expertise, professionalism, and unwavering dedication left an unforgettable mark on our hearts. Throughout the pregnancy, she exhibited a level of experience and knowledge that put my mind at ease. Her direct and honest approach helped me make informed decisions, fostering a sense of trust and empowerment. She went above and beyond to ensure that I felt supported and well-prepared for the journey. One of the most remarkable aspects of our story was her willingness to deliver our baby at home, with the added complexity of a breech position. It was a decision that required immense skill and a birth team equipped to handle any situation. Under her guidance, we embarked on an unmedicated home water birth, and it surpassed all expectations. The birth experience was nothing short of awe-inspiring. The atmosphere was filled with love, peace, and a sense of divine intervention. The birth of our baby, against all odds, was a testament to the strength, power, and ability of the human body, just as God intended. Christina became a trusted friend, right there by my side. Her guidance, expertise, and unwavering support led the way to empowerment and fulfillment. I cannot express enough gratitude for the care I received. Christina’s passion for her work, coupled with her profound skill and dedication, made our birthing experience an extraordinary one. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate, experienced, and remarkable midwife.

— Katie Worden

Great support from prenatal care to postpartum care. She is highly skilled at circumcision too!

— Victory Is Mine

Christina was amazing. Very friendly and accommodating. I couldn't recommend her practice enough! 💖

— Cari Conner

Christina is the best in the business! She should be charging much more than she does for the amount of care and skill she puts into her work. She guided me and my wife through our first birth with such grace and it made the whole pregnancy that much sweeter! Highly highly recommended Christina and home birthing in general. Thank you again Christina!

— Samuel Schweitzer

Christina is amazing to say the least! She makes such a connection with her clients and made me feel so comfortable putting my care in her hands. She really knows her stuff and gives you all the information to make confident decisions about your care. This was my first home birth and she made it a perfect experience and thought of everything to maximize my comfort and well being. My only regret is not finding her sooner for my previous birth experience. Christina is awesome and I can’t recommend her enough!!

— Ashley

Beginning to end our experience with Christina was amazing! I always felt heard and supported. She supported and empowered me in a way that I will never forget. I will be forever grateful for the beautiful pregnancy and birth experience I had with her!

— Asia Quezada (Asia Harris)

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina- but let me start out by saying I am in NO WAY an “easy” client, as a first time mom I had/still have SO many anxieties about being a new parent and all throughout my pregnancy. Christina always made me feel heard, cared for and reassured no matter the circumstance. We had a successful home birth to our healthy baby boy, she was with us the entire time ensuring the safety of all of us. During my pregnancy we never felt rushed during visits, all of our questions were answered thoroughly and at the end of this journey we can honestly call Christina a friend. She has been with us through everything, even all the postpartum craziness and has been such a blessing to have. Truly an answered prayer for our family. 100000% will be using her for our next! We cannot thank you enough, Christina! Thank you so so much for everything!

— Alaina Lyapman

Christina is such a special person for me in the story of the birth of my second child. At 36 weeks pregnant I was dropped from the care of the birth center I was planning to birth with because I had gestational diabetes and my numbers were borderline so they legally could not keep me on any longer despite the fact we were managing my numbers via diet changes and switching to a doctor would change nothing about my care. I was so stressed and didn't know what to do but Christina came in and put all my fears at rest! Because of her I was able to have a beautiful homebirth and looking back on it a year later it is a moment I will never forget. She was so attentive to me and my unique situation. She was upfront and factual with all the information and then allowed me to make all the final decisions about my care and what I was comfortable with. When my care was dropped I felt as though my agency over myself and my birth had been taken away unnecessarily, but thanks to Christina I was able to feel like I still had agency over myself and my birth and all my thanks goes to Christina for being there for me

— Jennifer Higley

Christina was the best midwife I could've asked for, and this was my second home-birth. She provided all the information we needed and listened to all of our questions and concerns. Christina is very professional and knowledgeable, and went out of her way to work with my schedule. Truly the best experience possible for my last birth. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a midwife.

— Alexa M

Christina took over the end of my prenatal care and delivered our 5th child in 2018 when my midwife had to leave the state to tend to family. Christina is a few years younger than me so I was extremely skeptical as to whether she had enough life experience to be the good attentive midwife I wanted and needed, especially since I’m considered a moderate-risk. She was the only certified nurse midwife available at the time, so I had no choice but to deliver with Christina. To my surprise, not only was Christina an extremely skilled, knowledgeable, and attentive midwife, but out of the 4 midwives I had previously delivered with, she was by far my favorite! Even though I’m considered a moderate-risk, Christina handled all of my complications without batting an eye. I’ve since come to call Christina a friend because she is a genuine kind of person you can trust. She has a very strong take-charge kind of personality, which some may be put-off by but it’s a very good trait to have in a midwife so they don’t end up second guessing their decisions and putting your baby in danger like one of my previous midwives did, but she genuinely cares about people and their well-being and she encourages you through the process and is very attentive to your needs. If I ever have another baby, Christina will be the only midwife I use. I have complete confidence in her as both a midwife and a person I can trust. Christina is always thinking, and acting, from the perspective of helping others.

— Amy S

The greatest experience I could EVER ask for. When becoming pregnant with my second son, I KNEW I wanted something different than I had before. In my first birth I was laughed at by my doctor for desiring no medication, I was disrespected, I was pushed on to make decisions I wasn’t comfortable with and I was traumatized by my overall experience. So when I found out I was pregnant with my rainbow baby, NOTHING was going to steal away any moment of my pregnancy and birth in being nothing but what I desired. Christina was more than just a provider or a midwife. She became a confidant of my emotions, a friend when I needed it, a coach to push me through hard moments of pregnancy, a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on and an encouragement when I was feeling weary. She wasn’t afraid to tell me how it was and went to great lengths to give me all I desired. When she comes to your home for visits, it’s like having a BFF come to uplift and empower you. When she talks to you she is intentional in giving you her time and attention. She even drove through an ice storm (anyone remember Snow-vid?) to have our appointment. She allowed my older son to be involved in visits and even let him explore and try to understand all she was doing. I’m so thankful for her as she walked alongside me in such a vulnerable part of my life and am thankful for the friendship I get to hold after. Thank you Christina for being such an amazing provider as I brought my rainbow baby into this world. Thank you for all your education, advice, love and support in all areas of my life. We LOVE YOU SO MUCH! ❤️

— Shelby Jones

Christina provided the most attentive medical care I have ever experienced during my 5th pregnancy. I was terribly sick and she continuously asked me what I needed and exhausted any avenue that she thought may give me relief from HG. When the prodromal labor had me in a panic, she went above and beyond and met me to check my cervix just to reassure me. During the actual birth I had full control of creating the birth environment I wanted. I had a relaxing day birthing comfortably and when I was ready to deliver she coached me through it in a gentle and soothing yet empowering way. I loved birthing in water and being able to catch my daughter with the encouragement and support of Christina there the whole time. My safety and comfort were ALWAYS her number one priority. She cares. She’s knowledgeable. She kept me informed. She discussed anything and everything with me from my first visit to my postpartum visits. She supported me emotionally during a very difficult time in my life so that I could be my healthiest self. I was blessed beyond measure to have Christina at my birth and anyone else would be too.

Christina is amazing!!! If you are looking for someone who cares about YOUR wants for your birth, she's your midwife!! She was literally a God send to me when I found out I was having twins and would have to deliver in a hospital. After 3 previous birth center births I couldn't even imagine a hospital birth!! Christina advocated for my wishes and made sure we received the birth we envisioned. In a hospital setting with twins I was allowed to labor with no epidural and my husband got to catch his first son!!!! This is unheard of. She honored everything we spoke about and she us a woman of her word!! She was patient and allowed cord to stop pulsating! It was amazing! I can't thank Christina enough for her care during my pregnancy and especially for advocating for the birth I desired!!! She is amazing!!!

Christina is such a kind and caring woman! When I was pregnant with my first, she answered so many questions for me. She gave me all my birth options so that my husband and I could decide what was best for us. She then helped me through one of the toughest times in my life when I miscarried our second. She did all that she could to get me as many answers as she could. She was very accommodating, she made sure to draw my labs, and helped me schedule an ultrasound. She sat down and talked with me about what was happening and some of the reasons why. As we wait to get pregnant with our third, she is still so willing to answer questions for me. She helps answer my breastfeeding questions regularly. She is so knowledgeable. I look forward to working with her more!

Christina was my midwife and doctor at Baylor when I got pregnant with my first child. She also was my sisters midwife and delivered my niece at home. Christina quickly became a family friend. I had to be induced due to high blood pressure and helped me through all the worries and anxiety that comes with being admitted into the hospital not only for having my first child but with the pandemic and all the regulations. She is very comforting and made sure that if I wasn’t comfortable with something that it wasn’t done. She talked me through the entire process and didn’t pressure me into anything. She did everything possible to help me have the birth story that I wanted, although I ended up having a c-section by her partner doctor, Christina was with me during everything. She was very supportive before during and after the surgery. She reassured me through it all. Christina continues to be available for anything I need weather it is to be prescribed birth control to getting my family and I vitamin IV’s. She is always available no matter what the situation is. I am extremely grateful to have such an amazing dr and look forward to having her be there for my future children’s birth as well. I HIGHLY recommend Christina!

We had the pleasure of having Christina deliver our second and third daughters! Throughout both of those pregnancies, she was always professional, and became very dear to each member of our family. She is extremely knowledgeable and competent. Christina's prenatal care is wonderful, she is great about including older siblings in the process and extremely easy to work with in terms of being understanding and flexible in scheduling. She's willing to work through any worry and research alternate options. If she doesn't know the answers, she will find them for you. Though both of our births with Christina had unforeseen complications, she brought us through with two really beautiful birth experiences. I wouldn't want anyone else to deliver my babies! She's an excellent midwife and a wonderful friend!

Christina has delivered both of our children that were born in TX. One at the birth center and one at our home. Despite complications during both, she made both experiences even better than we could have imagined. We hope that she will deliver all the rest! She is truly accommodating. She genuinely seeks to understand and fulfill your dream birth while confidently and seamlessly managing the practical side of everything. She is perfectly professional yet motherly and downright friendly. She is the kind of person that you can feel confident to provide the best medical care you might need, all the while becoming someone we now consider a good friend!

— Joe Turner

I am so grateful that Christina was my midwife when my daughter was born in April 2020. I look back at my labor story with such a big heart and big smile and can say I have absolutely no regrets. Christina always made me feel safe and cared for and I never felt pushed to do anything I was uncomfortable with. She is obviously knowledgeable in her field and always explained my options thoroughly without any sense of judgement. She is also very personable, understanding, and kind. Any mama would be lucky to have her!! ❤️

Christina Buchanan is someone you can trust count on and always know she’ll be there at any time you need her! Not only did she help us with our homebirth for my wife & I son, she also delivered our daughter at the hospital. My wife felt so comfortable doing a homebirth after hearing stories from Buchanan delivering other babies at home & birth centers the only thing is my wife was scared but Buchanan made her comfortable and realize she was a strong woman and she could also be one of these stories Cristina could share! Thanks again Christina we will always recommend, love & share our story you helped us create!!!l FIRST DELIVERY AT BAYLOR ON 9/7/19 GIRL! SECOND DELIVERY AT OUR HOME 4/5/21 BOY!

I loved working with Christina. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. I would love to work with her again!!

Not too long ago I thought home birth was a crazy idea that only people without respect for modern medicine and a sick interest in pain were in to. When I found out I was pregnant for the first time in January 2021, I began doing my own research and as a data driven engineer I get quite into the details. To my surprise, I found out home birth was not the least bit crazy and actually had quite a bit of data to back the benefits when you have a healthy low risk pregnancy and the right medical and emotional support. When I began checking out hospitals, birth centers, and talking to midwives - I found all I was looking for with Christina which solidified our decision to plan a home birth. My husband Will (Dad's check out his review) and I had the best possible prenatal, birth, and postpartum experience we could have imagined with Christina. She was absolutely wonderful and I can not imagine the process without her. She delivered our healthy beautiful daughter on September 18th, 2021, completed all her newborn checks, and postnatal visits right in the comfort of our home. Our experience with Christina - absolutely exceptional.

I cannot recommend Christina enough - not only as a midwife - but as a great coach and professional for a first-time dad. Yes, the labor and delivery experience was outstanding and exceeded all expectations, but the consultations leading up to the birth and the after-care were both exceptional. Christina does a great job with presenting her clients with all options and allowing them to make the best decision for them and their families. Like many dads, I had questions and she always answered them based on her experience and knowledge - free of bias or unnecessary persuasion that is so common in the traditional medical community. What I liked about Christina is she never seemed to have a personal agenda - only a commitment to ensuring we had a happy and healthy baby. The after-care we received was also outstanding. She took an active and genuine interest in how mom and baby were doing and was great with recommending what things to really focus on, and what things to just let take their natural course. So refreshing.

Christina is an absolutely AMAZING midwife!! She helped me deliver my first baby and I wouldn’t of had it any other way!! I started with Christina when she was working in the hospital. I wanted a natural birth, but being a first time mom I could not imagine delivering anywhere but a hospital due to all the what If’s that go through your head during pregnancy. Half way through my pregnancy she started Rockwall Birth and I didn’t want to deliver my son without Christina. Pregnancy was really hard on me emotionally and mentally, and Christina was by my side every step of the way. I had put my complete trust into Christina. Fast forward to my birth: Christina stuck by me through 26 hours of active labor and 6.5 hours of pushing my 10lb 2oz son out naturally. She did everything she needed to do, and pulled out all the stops for me to have the natural birth that I wanted. Christina truly did change my life and my whole outlook on birth! I don’t know what I would’ve done without her helping me throughout my pregnancy and my birth.

I can’t imagine giving birth with any other midwife than Christina! I’ve had both my children with her at home. She made me feel so calm and confident in my ability to birth my babies and made sure my births were carried out how I wanted (with mine & baby’s safety as a top priority always). Her standard of care is so far above any I had in the past. She is a wealth of knowledge and provides true informed consent. She’s available for questions and support. I never felt rushed through an appointment with her. She empowers her patients and genuinely cares for every single one of her them and their babies. She is one-of-a-kind and I’ve just never met a more caring provider. I am so blessed she was my midwife for both of the births of my children and should I be blessed with anymore, I will choose her again and again.

Christina was my midwife last year all throughout my pregnancy and I loved how reassuring, knowledgeable and personal she was. I had planned for an unmedicated hospital birth but after a difficult 30 hours of labor I ended up having an unplanned c-section. Christina was there every step of the way guiding me, encouraging me, literally holding my hand through the toughest times. She kept me and my husband informed all throughout so that we could make the best decisions possible, and she honored my wishes trying to limit medical interventions as much as possible. When the safest option for me and the baby became a c-section, she jumped into action making sure I was comfortable and safe, and even took countless precious pictures of the delivery for us to cherish forever. After my c-section she was incredibly supportive, helping me process my emotions about all that happened during my labor…she is truly a blessing!! Christina has a true gift for midwifery and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!!

Christina was so kind and thorough. I appreciated and completely trusted her during my pregnancy. I recommend her anytime I can.

— Erica Russo

I was a patient of Christina's last year and delivered my baby boy Stephen on January 4, 2021. I absolutely loved working with Christina and having her as my midwife, I plan to use her again for my second pregnancy. She was always very clear and detailed in every response to my questions. I enjoyed her attitude and knowledge of pregnancy, delivery and postpartum. Her responsiveness to my questions after delivery was critical to my mental health. I trusted her professional opinion and was at ease when she gave me advice. I only have the most positive things to say about Christina and I am so happy she was a resource for me.
