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.

Service introduction

I offer compassionate, evidence-based support for families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. As a doula, childbirth educator, and lactation counselor, I provide personalized care that helps you feel confident and supported every step of the way. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating those early newborn days, or working through feeding challenges, I’m here to guide you with knowledge, encouragement, and practical tools. My services include prenatal education, continuous support during labor, postpartum visits, and lactation counseling. I also connect families to local resources and community groups so you never feel like you’re doing this alone. My goal is to help you feel empowered, cared for, and prepared as you step into parenthood.
