Christina Abrams
CPR/First Aid Instructor, Birth & Postpartum Doula, Child Birth Educator, Apprenticing Midwife
Hi, I'm Christina!
In 2011 I became a birth worker upon learning of the arrival of our first grandchild. At the time I was working for a staffing company and had just met a midwife and doula trainer merely a month prior so it was divine intervention with the timing. So when my daughter told me she was pregnant the first thing I could think of was getting her a midwife. I desperately wanted a midwife when I was pregnant but my insurance company denied me because I was expecting twins. I reached out to my new midwife friend who offered to train me to be my daughter's doula. I have never looked back. I am a married mother to seven adult children. They have also made us grandparents to five beautiful grandbabies. I have also enjoyed over 30 years experience working in other sectors, with the last 15 years in behavioral health and training.
My trainings and services include:
-
First Aid/CPR/AED Instructor since 2010
-
Birth Assistant since 2011
-
Crystal Healer Certification, 2016
-
Midwifery Assistant & Student since 2019
