Emotional Birth Support Plans & Postpartum Support Plans

Prenatal & Postpartum

Emotional Birth Support Plans & Postpartum Support Plans are designed as focused sessions so you can customize them to fit your individual needs:

These focused sessions were created in hopes to prepare and plan for the best possible experience in pregnancy and postpartum, no matter what challenges may arise. They focus on your hoped for experience but also aim to prepare you for making difficult decisions, strengthen and/or provide you with more resources to help with anxiety and stress, strengthening your communication skills to help you advocate for yourself, provide information for yourself and your supports regarding perinatal mental health, and more.

“Christina is such a gift to the perinatal world. Her skills, education and above all ability to connect with her clients and express deep, genuine care sets her apart from any counsellor I’ve worked with. Her workbooks are an extension of this wealth of knowledge and ability to truly support parents before birth with prevention and deep reflection, while her postpartum finally delivers the processing and care all mothers should have before they leave the hospital. I think it should be an offering to everyone going through the obgyn/ midwife funnel as just part of the birth planning process. I cannot recommend her more and wholeheartedly trust that Christina is here to break the mold of how we experience the entrance to mother/parenthood. “ Lindsey Shields B.A., B.Ed., R.H.N

This Emotional Birth Support Plan was such a good tool to have. The workbook has so many helpful tools in it to help you prepare. As a soon to be mom I found that there really are not enough resources to prepare you for this journey. This workbook was full of so many tips, and ways to make sure your experience is the best it can be. She does a wonderful job outlining the questions and providing ways to help you prepare. Highly recommend – R.J.
