Christina is amazing! Our kids absolutely love her. She is knowledgeable and incredibly warm and relatable. We are thankful she was placed in our lives and we will continue to recommend her, always.

– Rebecca A.
Christina is such a doll!!! I hired her to be my post surgery doula and nanny to my children and she was worth every penny. Very helpful and on top of things I didn’t even think to ask for help on, she was always 2 steps ahead. Very professional yet treated us like family.

FAQs

What does a doula actually do?

Continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after birth. Think comfort measures, position changes, breath coaching, and clear communication so you feel calm, informed, and in control alongside your medical team.

Does insurance cover lactation consultations?

Yes! We’re in-network with Cigna (through Wildflower Health) and Tricare East, and we work with The Lactation Network which covers 6+ visits for many major plans. For out-of-network insurance, we provide superbills for possible reimbursement.

What kinds of births do you support?

Hospital, birth center, and home births. I support unmedicated and medicated births, inductions, VBAC, and cesarean. The goal is informed choice and comfort.

When should I schedule a lactation consultation?

Anytime during pregnancy to prepare, within the first few days postpartum for latch support, or whenever you’re experiencing feeding challenges—painful nursing, supply concerns, pumping questions, or transitions like returning to work. It’s never too early or too late.

What’s included in your birth doula package?

Prenatal planning sessions, on-call support around your due date, continuous labor support, immediate postpartum guidance, and a follow-up visit. Lactation help from an IBCLC is available when needed. We will confirm exact inclusions during your discovery call.

Do you offer virtual lactation support?

Yes! Virtual consultations work well for latch assessment, pumping guidance, supply building, and return-to-work planning. In-home visits are available throughout Charleston for hands-on needs like weight checks and complex latch issues.

How do you work with my partner or support person?

I enhance, not replace, partner involvement by showing hands-on comfort techniques, timing, positions, and how to advocate with confidence so you both feel supported.

When should I hire you?

Anytime, but most families book between 16 and 28 weeks to guarantee on-call availability and to get more prep time. If you are later in pregnancy, still reach out. If I am available, I am in.

Where do you serve clients?

In person across Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, Johns Island, Goose Creek, Hilton Head, Bluffton, and Beaufort, with virtual support available worldwide.
