WHAT PEOPLE SAY

I was a first time mother and was very nervous about the birthing process. My husband and I were looking
for a doula who could help us prepare mentally and physically for the birth of our daughter. Christine was such
a huge help to us and offered what nobody else could; an amazing massage at my house! No massage place
could properly massage me, they were all too scared! Once I told her I was interested in a natural birth, she
supported my decision, giving me great tips for preparing as well as insightful books. Christine was also very
helpful the night I went into labor. She was calm and empowered my husband to be supportive and helpful
without getting in his way. I would use Christine again in a heartbeat, we loved our experience!

Christine Gibson

Christina Gibson, BS, LMT, CD 

Managing Director for Cincinnati Surrounding locations

My journey to becoming a doula started after the birth of my fourth child, who was born at home before the midwife arrived. After having three very medical births, then experiencing a totally natural “unassisted birth”, my life was forever changed. I felt empowered and knew that this experience helped me become confident in my mothering as well. I went on to have three more children, born at home, with one being a home water birth. All seven of my own children have been successfully breastfed, cloth diapered and carried in a baby sling.

Being a former military wife and moving around a lot while my family was growing, I have learned first-hand the value of having helpful, nurturing support during pregnancy and especially those first few months after the baby is born. My goal is to ease the transition to motherhood. I seek to educate my clients in their variety of birth options and help them to feel confident in their newborn mothering skills. I am passionate about the value of supporting women in the pregnancy year. I encourage women to embrace the transforming power of motherhood. I believe that every birth is a sacred event and strive to provide non-judgmental care that honors the mother’s power of choice and her unique birth and postpartum experience.​ Certified Birth Doula (formerly ALACE, now ToLabor) in 2004 Assisted in over 100 births in various settings Trained as a Post-Partum Doula (DONA) Licensed Massage Therapist in 2007 Certified Prenatal Massage Therapist

Birth Doula Services

​The goal of our birth doulas is to provide educational, physical, and emotional support to families as they navigate through their pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journey. 

Every family has unique needs that we establish during a commitment-free initial consult. Once paired with the right doula for you, families will receive three prenatal visits, continuous labor and birth support, two postpartum visits, and continuing virtual support throughout the postpartum period. 

In addition to our wealth of knowledge, we partner with several local businesses to ensure all of our clients have every need met. 

Birth Doula packages range from $800.00 to $2800. 

We offer a military discount. Flexible payment plans and financing are available as well. 

Postpartum Doula Support

​A well-heard phrase among postpartum Doulas is, “Mothering the mother”. A postpartum doula has a wide range of capabilities but the main goal is to provide support and nourishment to the new mother as she embarks on her new journey into motherhood. This includes a vast amount of responsibilities such as helping her to process her birth experience, ensuring that she is bonding with the baby, supporting her physical and mental healing as well as providing practical support.

Our postpartum support packages include breastfeeding and bottle feeding support, newborn care, mother care, sleep support, light housekeeping, and much more.

Postpartum support packages vary by daytime or overnight support. 

Day time support $150.00 per shift.  (4 hours)

Overnight support $250.00 per shift. (8 hours)

We also offer monthly childbirth education classes. Please call to reserve a spot for this month!
