Queens Doula with Christine Gibson
Supporting Families Across Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan in Birth & Postpartum
Holistic Support for Your Childbirth Year
Nice to Meet You, I’m Christine…
I'm a mom of two in Jackson Heights, Queens and I became interested in this work after my own two transformative homebirths. I have a BA and MA in International Relations and see a connection between large scale movements for change and individual care work.
As a doula, I aim to make you feel safe and supported by sharing evidence based information, connecting you with vetted local resources, using comforting touch, compassion and humor to get you through tough moments. In addition to supporting families hands on through birth and postpartum, I also teach childbirth education, co-lead a postpartum support group, offer lactation counseling, am studying to be an IBCLC and I mentor newer doulas.
While it’s GREAT to have a doula by your side, your choice of medical provider and birth location are the most important factor. The families I work with are open to shopping around for the best care-which 99% of the time means working with a midwife!
Let me support you throughout your entire childbirth year...

“Her presence provided me with a sense of calm and reassurance, she kept me positive and validated my feelings. My partner didn’t know why we would need a doula, but afterwards admitted that having Christine was the best decision we had made!”
