We are so very excited to announce the addition of the amazing Christina Renock to our team here at Doula Group of Evansville. Christina is a postpartum doula currently working toward her certification with DONA International. She lives in Newburgh with her 3 boys and very sweet dog. Like me, she moved to this area in 2012 after living abroad, and has been busy raising her family. Christina is a magnificent listener and has a marvelously calming presence about her that allows you to be fully at ease and vulnerable. That along with the facts that she is an excellent cook and ever so patient means she is honestly the perfect person to help our clients during that 4th trimester transition.
About Christina:
Christina is a DONA educated Postpartum Doula who is working towards full certification. She is passionate about empowering and collaborating with the individual, especially women, as they navigate their own health and wellness journey. Christina decided to pursue work as a Postpartum Doula because she believes one of the best things we can do for our communities is support women and families as they build the foundation for the relationships that will shape the emotional and mental health of the next generation. She has worked in natural medicine since 2009 and been a licensed massage therapist since 2013. Christina completed university in the United States and London, England where she studied herbal medicine, naturopathic medicine, and business management. She moved to the Tri-state in 2012 and now lives in Newburgh, IN with her 3 sons and their wide variety of pets. When she finds free time she enjoys cooking, gardening, and being active outdoors.
Postpartum Doulas
Postpartum doulas help families typically during the first 16 weeks after baby is born, to move more fluidly through the hazy beginning of life with a new baby in the house. These magical humans come and help you with light housework like straightening up, organizing, folding laundry, dishes. They talk to you about what is going on with you and baby, and offer unbiased and evidence-based advice and resources for you. They help you know what is normal and connect you with further resources if you need them. They know which local dentists do laser tethered oral tissue revisions and help you with meal planning/shopping/preparation. Honestly, they are one of the most underutilized resources here locally. I fully expect that once word gets out about how amazing postpartum doulas are, Christina is going to be REALLY busy.
Christina is currently offering these services:
- In person daytime postpartum services
- Prenatal & Postpartum massage in your home
- Nursery Set-Up Consult
- Virtual Postpartum Doula Support
- 1-on-1 infant massage lessons
- Meal planning + online ordering for grocery pick-up
We would love to talk to you about how Christina could help ease your 4th trimester transition. Sometimes just having someone come to your house who is only there to help you and isn’t asking to hold the baby unless you want to hand them off is a GREAT thing. Never underestimate the power of someone who supports you without judgement and truly understands there is no one right way to get through the 4th trimester. Postpartum doulas support you how you want to be supported, and Christina will knock your socks off with her empathy, compassion, & resourcefulness. Contact us today if you’d like to set up a consult with Christina!
Pssst, if you are already a client with us, you can schedule a discounted massage with Christina!
