Who is The Doula NextDoor?

Hi, thank you for being here! My name is Christine. I'm an Afro-Latina from the Bronx who is passionate about helping birthing persons and their families feel comforted, informed, and empowered through birth and postpartum. I am in awe of what our bodies can do and a cornerstone of my work as a doula is supporting you in believing in your body.
My background as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor makes me uniquely equipped to support you through difficult emotions such as anxiety, overwhelm, and doubt that may come up as you prepare for birth and navigate postpartum. My friends and family would describe me as warm and comforting. They'd say my presence is calm and reassuring.
​
I have been a part of several births, including home birth, induction, and c-section. I have supported family members through postpartum, offering me hands-on experience with lactation/feeding support and baby care. My doula training was full spectrum, meaning it covered birth and postpartum services.
