Full-Spectrum Doula Serving the Finger Lakes, NY

Practical and Emotional Support, Tailored to Your Family.

WHO AM I?
Hello! My name is Cris. I’m a full-spectrum doula based in Canandaigua, NY.

I came to birth work after the birth of my first son, when I found myself wondering if other new parents were struggling (like me) or thriving, and if they had people to talk to about the realities of birth and parenthood. My own experience inspires my work, where I serve as a compassionate guide for pregnant people and their loved ones.

In 2018 I completed doula training with Carriage House Birth (NYC) and have since supported many people through diverse birthing experiences. Today, I am on a continuous journey to deepen my knowledge of reproductive health, care work, and justice.

HOW CAN I SUPPORT YOU?
My availability for doula support is closed until I slowly begin supporting births in 2026, following my own medical leave. Until then, check out some free resources linked below!
