About Christina

My approach to birth work is rooted in compassion, faith, and belief that every birth is sacred and a precious experience. My business “ A Doula On Purpose “ is not just a business name, but a declaration of my belief that I have a calling to support and care for his people during pregnancy, labor,birth, and beyond. It is my purpose to walk alongside my clients offering not only physical, and emotional support but also a sense of peace. I offer both birth and postpartum doula services. I am trained professionally and certified in both areas and most recent a certification in childbirth education. I would love to schedule a free 30 min consultation with you to further discuss and answer any questions you may have!

Frequently asked questions

What services do you offer?

I offer birth doula support, postpartum doula care, childbirth education, partner coaching, and nesting support. Each service is designed to help growing families feel informed, prepared, confident, and supported throughout their journey.

When should I book a birth doula?

I recommend reaching out as early as possible during pregnancy to ensure availability and allow us time to build a relationship. However, I also welcome inquiries later in pregnancy and offer last-minute birth support when available.

Do you support medicated births, inductions, and cesarean deliveries?

Absolutely! My role is to support your informed decisions, whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, epidural, induction, or cesarean delivery. I provide evidence-based education, emotional reassurance, and practical support without judgment.

Will you support my partner during labor?

Yes! I believe partners play an important role in the birth experience. My goal is not to replace your partner but to help them feel confident, included, and equipped to support you throughout labor and delivery.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! I understand that investing in birth support is an important financial decision. I offer flexible payment arrangements for birth doula services, including weekly, biweekly, and monthly options.
