Christine offers childbirth education classes and postpartum doula services for parents.
Childbirth Education
-
Christine offers group and private Birthing from Within classes that weave scientific knowledge and concrete coping techniques together with heart-centered, creative exploration to provide parents with authentic preparation for the transformative experience of birth.
Classes are designed to provide a holistic exploration of the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of labor, birth, and the postpartum period.
Under Christine's expert guidance, you will delve into various topics, including the stages of labor, the role of hormones and birth physiology, coping practices, labor and birth positions, hands-on support, partner support, interventions, strategies for dealing with unexpected surprises, and how to navigate decision-making during labor.
Postpartum Support
-
Christine provides postpartum doula services through the Doulas of Duluth.
Postpartum doulas provide a variety of support during the first 12 weeks postpartum, including newborn care education, basic infant feeding, new-sibling integration, meal preparation, light housework, support with postpartum rest and recovery, and providing resources and referrals when needed.
“ Christine's vast experience as a doula allows her to present a wealth of factual information in an unbiased, comprehensive manner, no matter where you plan to give birth.”

“ My husband and I loved our Birthing from Within childbirth class with Christine. She is an awesome teacher-grounded, clear, honest, light-hearted, and very knowledgeable on the subject of birthing. We feel so much more prepared for the upcoming birth of our first child after attending her course, and we recommend it to all parents-to-be who want to feel more empowered and learn tools to cope with all that childbirth may bring.”
