How she works

Three things you can count on

Your baby, your call

From the decision itself, to your vitamin K choice and each comfort measure, you choose. She informs, she doesn’t push.

Attention you deserve

A visit with time built in for questions, and a picture guide so nothing about healing surprises you.

Here after you leave

24-hour access for questions, a check-in with every family, and a free follow-up visit in Rockwall.

Outside the office

A mom of three who remembers that first week

When she isn’t working, Christina’s two sons and daughter keep her on her toes. Her husband is a patent attorney and serves in the US Navy Reserves.

She finds purpose by loving Jesus, loving others and decreasing anxiety for the families she serves, especially in the newborn phase.
