About me
I am a mom of 2 and postpartum doula. I am also training to be a lactation counselor. Until recently, I worked as an engineer. I decided to change paths to have a more fulfilling career and more time with my little ones. I believe that growing families thrive when they receive high quality support! I want to be that support and help families like mine enjoy the little moments with their brand new tiny humans.

Service introduction
Welcome to Village Postpartum Support! Services available include postpartum planning, postpartum care during daytime or overnight, and meal prep. As a former engineer I can be a little extra in the science department and I love researching solutions to problems. As a mom of 2 littles, I understand the big transitions that happen when a new baby arrives. I bring my love of research and problems solving as well as a heart full of compassion to the table when caring for growing families - my goal is to support you in anyways you need. Upholding your parenting goals, encouraging you, providing support in your home by making meals or cleaning up, entertaining big siblings and making them feel involved in the new baby’s life holding your baby while you rest, helping you troubleshoot baby struggles, all of it - I’m here for you and want to see you be the best parent you can be.

Ratings and reviews
Christina is warm, friendly, caring, and professional. When you’re inviting someone into your home at your most vulnerable time, things could get awkward. But Christina made us feel so cared for and seen. She was our sounding board who turned into a friend- exchanging stories of parenthood and making us feel less crazy. Our 4th trimester felt so much calmer because of her. Her services felt like a luxury that was WELL worth every penny. We HIGHLY recommend her and would hire her again in an instant.

Christina is truly adaptable in helping with whatever your specific needs are. She assisted with my twins as a postpartum doula by making suggestions in areas I needed assistance in, washing pump parts and bottles, cleaned my counters, did dishes, did baby care, and took night shift feedings so we could sleep all while respecting boundaries. She provides gentle nudges towards interventions when she notices a challenge and holds me accountable to follow through. She has allowed us to get enough sleep to fully function for work and taking care of our toddler. She even supported us during transportation home from the hospital, above and beyond the job requirements.

I loved working with Christina!! She was so sweet and kind, and did amazing with my baby girl. She was the much-needed help that I needed postpartum. So grateful for her!

I met Christina through the weigh and play group she organizes. The group itself is great getting to check on baby's weight and also talk with other moms (and Christina) about our breastfeeding struggles. Even though I am on my 3rd breastfeeding journey we have been struggling with everything related to it. Christina has been a wealth of knowledge with tips and introducing me and referring me to other professionals where necessary to help aid in our journey. She also has a babywearing carrier library where I was able to meet with her and see different types of carriers to meet our specific needs. Highly recommend and thank you Christina!

Getting work with Christina as our postpartum doula was one of the best decisions we made during our journey into parenthood. From the moment she stepped into our home, her warmth and expertise created an atmosphere of calm and reassurance. Her deep understanding of postpartum care and newborn needs was evident in every interaction, along with her knowledge on entertaining a toddler. Christina not only supported me physically but also with guidance and postpartum recovery tips but also provided invaluable emotional support during those challenging early weeks. Beyond her professional competence, Christina's genuine compassion and nurturing spirit shone through in everything she did. She quickly became a trusted confidante and a source of wisdom as we navigated the ups and downs of new parenthood. Her encouragement and non-judgmental approach were incredibly empowering. I cannot recommend Chrudtina highly enough to any new parents seeking expert guidance and genuine care for families are truly exceptional. We are forever grateful for her role in making our transition into parenthood a smoother and more joyful experience!
