Made some fun bios for some of the team over at recently, and decided I should do an updated one for myself!

I’m Christina—a Birth & Postpartum Doula, childbirth educator, and photographer with a deep passion for physiological birth and helping families understand their bodies, their options, and their power. I take a strongly partner-inclusive approach, ensuring both the birthing person and their support person feel confident, informed, and grounded. As a neurodivergent doula, I’m especially attuned to how ADHD, autism, sensory needs, and processing differences shape the birth experience, and I tailor my support to create a calm, supportive environment that honours those needs.
Alongside birthwork, I capture life’s most meaningful chapters through maternity, birth, newborn, branding, empowerment, and end-of-life photography. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll find me barefoot in the sun, exploring creative ideas, or diving into my love of interior design and how spaces impact the people in them. My work is rooted in compassion, education, and truly seeing the people I serve—so you can feel empowered every step of the way.

Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are never one-size-fits-all—and for neurodivergent people, they can feel especially overwhelming, misunderstood, or isolating.

From sensory overload and executive dysfunction to advocacy needs and emotional regulation struggles, neurodivergent folks may face unique challenges (and strengths!) through the perinatal journey.

šŸ’¬ Let’s normalize these differences and make space for ALL brain types in birth work.

I’ve been trying to find the words to describe the feelings I’ve been experiencing since , and bear with me here because I haven’t been able to form proper sentences all week šŸ˜‚
Having planned and executed this event has been one of the hardest things I have done in a very long time. My nervous system is shot, I don’t think I’be been on the verge of tears constantly for this long ever, and I don’t think I’ve ever been tested this hard in the way I was this past week.
All that being said, it was one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. Seeing this community come together to learn from each other, lean on each other, and share with each other, has created a sense of pride in me like no other.
We learned a lot of lessons, made new connections, and have even sold a ticket for next year’s conference already!
as I said through tears in our final remarks, thank you for showing me the rewards reaped when I push my boundaries. For the listening ear when I needed to just get everything out. For helping me rein in and understand what I was feeling when big feelings came through that I didn’t know how to navigate. I love you ā¤ļø
thank you for being my constant. When I wasn’t sure anyone would understand, you did, and held that space for me. For checking in on me and making sure I was ok (even when we were all just surviving). Your grace and kindness is like no other, and I’m blessed to call you one of my best friends.
ca you are like no one else I’ve ever met. Your strength, optimism, and contagious energy helped me survive all of this crazy planning & ex*****on. Thank you so much for being you. We couldn’t have done it without you.

For all of the members that helped make this dream a reality, thank you thank you thank you. For all of those that checked in with me throughout the week/conference to make sure we were ok and functioning on some level, it meant so much more than you know - even if I accidentally blew off our conversation to reset the stage between panels & speakers (continued in comments)
