Nice to Meet You, I’m Christine…
I’m a full spectrum doula based in Jackson Heights, Queens. I live with my husband and our two teenaged kids, one dog and one cat. I was inspired to enter birthwork after my own transformative births. I became a certified birth doula in 2019 and went on to become a certified full-spectrum doula, lactation counselor, and childbirth educator. I’m currently on the path to becoming an IBCLC. I am unapologetically pro-abortion, I strive to be anti-racist, anti-Zionist and I stand against the hate that exists towards the queer and trans community in birthwork and all aspects of life. I champion midwives as the experts in low risk childbirth and advise anyone experiencing a low risk pregnancy (or anyone with a uterus) to explore the midwifery model of care for themselves.
Using empathy, nonjudgment, carefully curated resources, knowledge of birthing in NYC, and a calm, positive attitude, I guide families with compassion throughout their childbearing year in hospitals, birth centers, and homes. When I’m not supporting families, I can usually be found cozily knitting on the couch with the Real Housewives.

Testimonials
“Through this whole experience, when we look back, we realize that having Christine by our side changed everything for us, it was a true game-changer in every way. She made the entire process much more smooth, positive, meaningful and natural.”
-Tsering Choden
“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!”
