About me

Hi, I’m Christine Hernandez — a doula, childbirth educator, and lactation counselor based in the Capital District. I’m passionate about supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey with evidence-based education and compassionate care. Alongside my work with parents, I also run Broadway Coffee Co. in Saratoga Springs, a community space created to caffeinate and connect new moms. I believe that no one should have to navigate new parenthood alone — and I love helping families feel supported, confident, and cared for as they grow.

We hired Christine to be our doula for the birth of our first child. She was an asset to both me, and my husband. She helped me feel prepared going into birth, and she helped my husband remain confident during. She’s funny, she’s knowledgeable, and she just brings a sense of ease into the unknown of birth. 10/10 recommend. We will use her again for all future births.
