A Birth Doula Who Is Also a Registered Nurse
Continuous childbirth doula support across Metro Detroit and Michigan — from your first prenatal visit through labor, delivery, and those first tender weeks at home. Twenty years of bedside nursing, in your corner.
What Birth Doula Support Includes
Prenatal Visits & On-Call Support
We build your birth preferences together, practice comfort measures, and I stay on call as your due date approaches.

I stay with you through every contraction — position changes, counter-pressure, breathing, and steady reassurance. Nurses change shifts; I don't.

Gentle, evidence-based childbirth education that helps you meet labor with calm instead of fear.

Thoughtfully chosen scents for comfort, focus, and relaxation in the birth room.

Why a Nurse Makes a Different Kind of Birth Doula
Most doulas support you emotionally through birth — and that matters enormously. Christine does that too, and brings 20+ years of bedside nursing with her. She knows how hospital units run, what the monitors mean, and when to ask the question that changes the next decision. That clinical fluency is the same skill behind her patient advocacy work: keeping you at the center of every choice made about your body and your baby.
