Meet Christa

Evanston doula chicago

Christa is a birth doula on our team who is certified through Stillbirthday. She is also a placenta encapsulation specialist, trained in Spinning Babies techniques, well-versed in hypnobirthing techniques, and has a special interest in lactation. She is currently in the process of completing her Lactation Educator Certification, and nursed each of her children for 2+ years. 

Having a doula of her own sparked her passion for learning about birth and everything that comes with it. Christa became a doula after birthing three beautiful beings of her own, and each of those births showed her how essential doula support is, in different ways.

Christa has experience with ALL types of births and birth settings. She has supported many unmedicated and epidural births, inductions and spontaneous labors, planned cesareans, home and hospital births. She believes that birth is NOT a one size fits all, and there is no “right” or “wrong” way to give birth. She is a very adaptable, non-judgmental, highly empathetic doula who brings a calming presence to each birth she attends.

Christa has a special interest in supporting VBACs, pregnancy/birth after a previous loss, and those who wish to go unmedicated, but loves supporting all types of births. No matter the birth you’re planning for, what matters most to her is that you feel supported, heard, and respected throughout the process. Christa is a firm believer that knowledge = power. She strives to make sure parents are informed of their options every step of the way, and enjoys educating them prenatally. She loves developing a strong relationship with her clients and really getting to know them, their wishes, and ideal birth experience. 

In Christa’s free time, she loves spending time outdoors with her children. She puts her heart and soul into every family she works with, and truly loves nurturing family’s confidence as they begin their journey into parenthood.
