"Christine made our homebirth experience incredible and everything we hoped it would be! From the very beginning, she brought a level of confidence and professionalism that instantly put us at ease. This was my first birth but I truly felt so calm. She handled all of my prenatal care with no rush, and always opened the floor for me to talk about anything I was feeling with her. She has a amazing depth of knowledge in holistic, physiological birth, and it shows in the way she explains every step, supports informed decisions, and trusts the natural process while still being fully prepared for anything. Throughout labor, she guided me with steady reassurance, breathing, and an intuitive understanding of what both baby and I needed. Because of her expertise, our homebirth unfolded beautifully! I felt supported, safe, and cared for the entire time. I'm so thankful for Christine!"

“If you want to have your dream birth- look no further!

My husband and I were blessed to find Christine through good friends of ours. We really didn't look around for midwives since she came with great recommendations and it "felt right". So glad we didn't look around because Christine is just what we needed. My first time birth could not have gone smoother and she helped me feel well equipped with what to expect in pregnancy, during labor, and postpartum. She's a wealth of knowledge and a lovely person. If you'd like a peaceful home-birth where it feels like its mainly you and your significant other bringing your baby into the world- them Christine is for you.
Personally I had a 6.5 hr birth with no tearing which is pretty unheard of for 1st time moms and while I know God was watching over us, I know preparation with Christine was also crucial. She will be delivering all our future babies if she is willing!?”

2025 Redemption Midwifery Birth Outcomes!

A year in review!

THANK YOU to all the families who invited us in to your hearts and homes as your families are growing and trusted us to support you. It truly is an honor to serve each and every family!

My heart grieves with the families whose little ones went to heaven far too early!

We took some much needed time off at the beginning of this year and at the beginning of September.

We love when our families receive their babies into their own hands, which 18 moms or dads did, meaning I did not touch the babies as they came earth side, resulting in many more intact perinieums.

We are super blessed and excited for all the families we will serve in 2026! We are booking as soon as families find out they are pregnant, so please call sooner than later if you're planning to use our service. We are excited to be serving multiple repeat families in 2026!

HUGE thank you to my AMAZING birth assistants - Allie, Ella, Alisha, Laura and Paige! I truly could not do this without each of them! Thank you for loving and caring so well for each of our families!

Newest testimonial...

I was able to have my dream-come-true homebirth experience because of Christine, and I will forever be grateful. My son's birth was profoundly redemptive for me healing in ways I didn't even know I needed and I've never felt more empowered in my entire life.
Before finding her, I struggled to locate any doctors willing to support a VBAC. Then I spoke with Christine for nearly an hour, and everything changed. She patiently answered every question, listened with genuine care, and gave me the confidence I needed to move forward with a home birth. Her combination of professionalism, compassion, and deep knowledge is truly something rare. She explains everything so clearly and has a heartfelt passion for helping moms feel safe, seen, and supported.
From the very beginning, we felt like we were in the best hands. And when the time came to give birth, my baby had a difficult time navigating his way down. Christine immediately knew which positions would help, guiding me with so much calm and expertise. I am certain that without her, I would have ended up in another hospital C-section. Instead, I got to experience the birth I had prayed for...powerful, natural, and deeply transformative.
If you are considering a homebirth or need someone who truly believes in your body's ability to give birth, Christine is the person you want beside you. She gave me my redemption story, and I cannot recommend her enough." ~ Dimitra (google review)

If you hire a surgeon or a "midwife" who works under a surgeon, don't be surprised if you end up in surgery!

Not all midwives are created equal!

“Christine is so passionate about what she does and it shows! From the very beginning of my pregnancy, she provided thoughtful, attentive, and personalized care. Our hour-long visits throughout the entire nine months made me and my husband feel heard, supported, and completely confident heading into the birth of our first baby.

I was able to have the peaceful and joy-filled home birth I prayed for thanks in part to her attentive care. She gave the space my husband and I needed to make decisions we felt comfortable with every step of the way and helped to make the entire experience feel safe, natural, and beautiful.
Even now, postpartum, she continues to check in on me and my son with genuine care - making sure I'm healing well, adjusting emotionally, and feeling supported as a new mom. Her dedication goes far beyond the average care provider and we are so thankful for her!

If you're looking for a midwife who is passionate, caring, skilled, and truly invested in your well-being, she is absolutely all of those things and more.”

Testimonial

"I HAD SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE WITH CHRISTINE"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“I had such an amazing experience with Christine. I was having difficulty finding a doctor that supported my decision to have a VBAC and switched over to Christine. She has completely changed the way | look at medical care. She takes time to listen, answer your questions, and is very transparent about pricing and managing expectations. The most meaningful thing to me was informed consent. Christine brought up topics before hand and made sure I knew all my options.

Our appointments were almost an hour long and we discussed all possibilities and things like vitamin

K, circumcision, postpartum care way before my due date. This gave me the peace of mind to birth without fear. During the birth Christine acted exactly how we had discussed. She allowed me and my body to work as one to birth my baby. I had a successful VBAC at home with no interventions and no complications. It was simply the happiest day of my life. I will always remember Christine for making VBAC possible for me when my previous OB was setting me up for another c section. Thank you Christine and I suggest that if you are on the fence about choosing a midwife just set up a call with Christine to see how knowledgeable and caring she really is. 🥰”

Sad to hear of Michael Odent's passing! He changed the way many saw birth!

We are saddened to hear news of the passing of Michel Odent, whose vision and writing reshaped the way we understand human birth.

Michel Odent reminded us that birth is not a medical procedure to be controlled, but a primal rythm to be respected. He advocated for home-like maternity units, warm water births, protecting the birthing woman's privacy and honouring her instincts, undisturbed contact between mother and newborn; he was among the first to discuss the importance of the microbiome, and question many of the practices that had (and have) become normalised in overmedicalised maternity systems globally.

Michel Odent's legacy lives on in every dimmed, quiet birthing room, and in every midwife his words and work inspired to join our profession.

Thank you, Michel, for your passion, vision and committment to women and newborns.
