She was the best support I could have had, a rock and a constant soothing presence. She is exceptionally nurturing and intuitive, and knows what a person needs when they are experiencing this amazing and formidable life experience. I would highly recommend her as a doula, or in any kind of position that requires personal advocacy and a mix of earthly and divine support." -Amber A. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6090df6e9bcd6b08ccc0f0d3/1622007357162-1FXHS463EHHQO24391GF/swaddle.jpeg Testimonials “Christa was with me for the birth journey my eldest daughter Ivy, who arrived 10 days late. She helped me navigate these days in waiting when I felt frustrated and tired, and gently tended to my emotions. During labour Christa supported me and my husband. I truly believe Christa's gentle touch, positioning suggestions and energy work helped my daughter change positions from OP to OA which allowed me to birth her vaginally. I had a retained placenta and post partum hemorrhage and it was in these moments that I could not imagine what my experience without Christa would have been. She helped advocate for me and she held me during some of the scariest moments of my life while my husband held our daughter skin-to-skin. She supported me to breastfeed when I had no strength to latch or hold my baby in position. She was also a huge rock for my husband, standing alongside him to provide the care I needed that was not necessarily intuitive for him. My post partum care was exceptional. She nourished me with oatmeal, bone broth and other nourishing foods appropriate to a post-partum mama, and facilitated lots of time to rest with and without my babe in arms. I had the pleasure of experiencing my second pregnancy alongside Christa’s. I picked up so many ideas and suggestions from her both from afar and when we were able to travel to be together. Unfortunately, she was not at my second daughter's birth, but only because she was also giving birth! I feel so blessed to have this magic maker in my life to open my mind and heart to things seen and unseen. As a mother and a Labour and Delivery nurse I cannot recommend Christa strongly enough. If you feel that there is magic that you are not tapping into and you want to play in the mystical part of pregnancy and birth, Christa is the woman you want walking this journey with you.” -Nancy M. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6090df6e9bcd6b08ccc0f0d3/1622011385010-UWQVL3MFETRRICZRCJQ7/nursing.jpeg Testimonials ”I’ve known Christa for the last seven years. Her radical spirit of hospitality, her wild generosity of invitation and presence, and her deep commitment to nurturing relationships has allowed me the privilege of entering into a sister-like bond with her. It is through a wide array of shared experiences that I can confidently vouch for Christa as a reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable doula. Most notably, I had the pleasure of attending alongside Christa a weekend-long birth workshop led by her mentor Whapio. I was particularly impressed by the way that Whapio guided mothers and birth practitioners to weave high level understanding of anatomy and physiology with ancient knowledge around the ritual of birth, always centering the mother and baby in the birth process. The integration of these two systems (modern/scientific and ancient/spiritual) is very apparent in Christa’s holistic approach to birth, and I would recommend expecting mothers and couples who seek a caring experienced advocate to reach out for her services.” -Georgia J. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6090df6e9bcd6b08ccc0f0d3/1622007862935-4FE16Q05DANI7M60MC8J/papa2.jpeg Testimonials “Christa is the beautiful combination of intelligence and kindness. She supported us every step of the way: from early stages, through challenging medical visits, being there during the labour at my home, then being my hand to squeeze while my husband navigated a raging blizzard en route to hospital. I felt 100% heard when I spoke, and was always responded to with the utmost respect and thoughtfulness. Christa was also planning to travel for the birth of my second child 2.5 years later, however, my daughter decided to arrive 2 months early. It just so happened that she was in Calgary for a wedding at that time. Christa stepped up and supported us with meals, meaningful and heartfelt conversations and gathering supplies for our time spent at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. So grateful to have her with us on our journey to meet both our babies.” -Lisa E. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6090df6e9bcd6b08ccc0f0d3/1622007961639-1SGXBCIP3I6AQJ4PTO0H/fairie+baby.jpeg Testimonials “Bringing a child into this world is no small matter. Carrying a child in pregnancy and giving birth remains one of the most miraculous, mysterious, beautiful, demanding events in a woman’s life. Rarely does a woman embark on such a journey without guidance. The birth doula has traditionally been someone who a woman could lean on for deep guidance during her pregnancy, labouring and birthing. In these days of advanced medical technology, one can easily lose access to the old time wisdom of the doula while receiving the most sophisticated and specialized attention. Whether you plan to give birth at home or in a hospital room, nothing can replace the presence and guidance of a knowledgeable doula. You want someone who honours birth, who honours women’s health, strengths and vulnerabilities, and who is sensitive and attentive to the needs of the new life coming into the world. Christa Morin is one such person. Deeply devoted to caring for life, acutely sensitive and attuned to the requirements of the moment, offering the gentlest touch while remaining solidly grounded, Christa can be faithfully relied on to accompany you on one of life's most precious journeys.” -Rachelle L. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6090df6e9bcd6b08ccc0f0d3/1620195720452-CRCN8HF9958S9F4R2EYC/Bee+Lady+1.jpeg Testimonials - You were never meant to do this alone.

I’m so glad you’re here. I’d like to tell you a little about myself and how I came to be here, ready to serve your family in the awe-some realms of birth and family-making. My work as a Holistic Doula is the culmination of everything that has brought me to where I am now. The last 20 years have been a wild journey, dedicated to exploring the inner and outer landscapes of this amazing life. Deeply passionate about the intersections of the human and the wild, I have been fortunate to live and travel in many different cultures and ways of life, to learn from people who value deep connection and wonder over any claim to certainty and absolutes. My studies have extended into bodywork, energy work, meditation, herbalism, permaculture and organic farming, post-colonial literature, Orphan Wisdom, and tons and tons of holistic childbirth! My passion for Women’s Health was born out of my own journey to heal my heart and womb in my early twenties, culminating in the birth of my first babe in a wee mason’s cabin on Mayne Island, BC. It has been so enlivening to explore the untended areas of the female body and journey towards re-acquaintance and re-integration, both for myself and the clients I work with. I have found plants to be a beautiful ally to wholeness and healing, and love to incorporate them in my doula work for those who are interested. My deepest longing is to advocate for more families to feel at the centr of their birthing experience: grounded and in charge!, and to be a faithful witness to the stunning moment where families claim one another for the first time. Please be in touch if you feel called. I would love to hear from you!
