Nice to Meet You, I’m Christine…
I’m a full spectrum doula based in Jackson Heights, Queens. A full spectrum doula is a care worker who offers support to people during the full spectrum of pregnancy from preconception to birth to abortion to miscarriage to adoption and so on.
I was inspired to become a doula after my own transformative births. I became a certified birth doula in 2019 and then 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 champion midwives as the experts in birth and gynecological care and center reproductive justice, anti-racism, anti-zionism, queer + trans rights in my practice.
When I’m not supporting families, I can usually be found knitting on my couch with The Real Housewives.
