So, What is a Doula?
Welcome! A little bit about me and what is a birth and postpartum doula.
Congratulations on the expansion of your family, and a heartfelt welcome to Howdy Doula! I'm Christine Brown, a DONA-trained doula dedicated to assisting families in the Tulsa area.
I am currently on maternity leave after welcoming our second baby in October 2024. I will be taking clients Spring 2025, but please feel free to message me for any doula recommendations, there are some truly amazing doulas in the area that would love to support your family!
My husband and I moved to Tulsa from Colorado and have fallen in love with the area. We had our son in 2022 and with his birth, I found my passion for helping other women in motherhood. I love learning new skills to help mothers and have taken trainings such as rebozo techniques, Spinning Babies Workshop, and am a certified Body Ready Method® pro . As your doula, I will provide emotional, physical, and informational support to help you have a positive and empowering birth and postpartum experience that is unique to you. Additionally, my Christian faith is an integral part of my doula practice.
In my spare time when I am not serving clients or chasing around our toddler, I love trying new recipes at home, brewing kombucha, and listening to true crime podcasts.
I would love to get in touch to talk more about my services and how I can support you on this journey!
"Howdy" is a word that instantly brings to mind warmth and friendliness, like a welcoming wave from a dear friend. When I was contemplating the name for my doula services, Howdy Doula came to mind and it felt perfect for Tulsa. I realized that "howdy" represents exactly what I wanted to offer to every client: an experience that feels as comfortable and relaxed as putting on your favorite pair of jeans.
My mission is to create an environment where you can truly be yourself in your birth journey. I want every person who utilizes my services to feel at ease, safe, and most importantly, seen in their own unique way throughout their remarkable journey through pregnancy and motherhood.
As your birth doula, I will provide continuous support during labor and birth.
As your postpartum doula, I will provide practical and emotional support during the transition to motherhood.
I offer in-home lactation support to help you achieve your breastfeeding goals.
"I couldn't have done it without Christine. She was an incredible doula and 10/10 would reccomend her to any pregnant mamas looking for doula support."
