While this philosophy guides my care for you, my #1 priority is to support you in making informed decisions and honoring your needs and wants for your birth.<\/p>\n<p>I am mother to three, wonderful, grown, children who are all out on their own. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate myself to caring for your family as your doula.<\/p>\n\n<h5>\n\t\t&#8211; Christine\n\t<\/h5>\n\t<p>Certified birth doula, postpartum doula, lactation counselor, childbirth educator, newborn care specialist, bereavement support, aromatherapist, and herbalist serving families in the Greater Philadelphia area.<\/p>\n\t\t\t Certified Birth Doula &amp; Postpartum Doula, DONA International\t\t\n\t\t\t Certified Lactation Counseling, Healthy Children Project\t\t\n\t\t\t Certified Childbirth Educator, Childbirth International\t\t\n\t\t\t Bereavement Support, Birth Arts international \t\t\n\t\t\t Certified Aromatherapy and Certified Herbalist, Heart of Herbs\t\t\n\t\t\t Friends of Breech Babies\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>I delivered a son via VBAC with Christine&#8217;s help. My goal was to labor at home for as long as possible for fear that if I went into the hospital too early I would be trapped in bed with all sorts of meds and IVs and not be able to move around. This baby was my last chance to have the vaginal birth that I desperately wanted and Chris was there to help me despite my fears and pain. Please don&#8217;t hesitate to hire a doula to assist you in labor (they are heaven sent) and consider Christine to help you.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\n\t\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FRompersDoulaDiaries%2Fvideos%2F249171198949562%2F&#038;show_text=0&#038;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n<h5>\n\t\tOn the blog:\n\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/christinescareandcompassion.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tkeep reading\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<p>&#8220;There is a phase in labor, appropriately called transition, where a woman will meet her breaking point.

It&#8217;s during this Time the maiden dies so that the woman can be reborn as a mother, with her child. A new, more capable version of herself with far more strength than she has ever known.
