Cristin certified as a BirthWorks Childbirth Educator~CCE(BWI) in 2010 and later (in 2020) cross-certified as both a BirthWorks International Birth Doula~CBD(BWI) and Postpartum Doula~CPD(BWI). (She also previously dual-certified and remains actively certified with DONA, and she worked as a Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula, as well as a Conscious Pregnancy Yoga Teacher and Health Moms Fitness Instructor). Since 2018, she mentored new students and joined the BirthWorks Board of Directors. In 2018, as Program Director & International Coordinator, she was thrilled to coordinate strategic and program development in the USA and abroad. In 2024, she began as Executive Director to grow the synergistic, loving vision of birth leadership embodied at BirthWorks. She is proud to expand the evidence-based and spiritual approach of human values for birth education for parents and professional training.
Cristin has three children—her daughter by waterbirth at home in Brussels, Belgium and twin boys came via cesarean in San Diego, CA, USA. Her experiences during pregnancy and as a new mother sparked a deep longing to empower women to know their power to birth naturally, understand technology's best-use, and know the real risks of cascading interventions. Inspired, she founded Conscious Empowered Birth in 2008 to educate new mothers, as a first step for babies to be born peacefully and healthy (and create a better world)! She is also a Yoga Teacher/Therapist/Trainer and holds two Masters degrees (in international environmental and community health) from Yale University and Johns Hopkins University. She lived in nine states in the USA and lived/worked in twelve countries. Cristin loves the universality of the birth experience and how women rise together by empowering each other through one of the most transformational, spiritual and significant times in life.
