Land Acknowledgment & Decolonizing Intentions

Healing Arts by Christine Michelle practices & takes up space on stolen Dakota and Ojibwe land. In Christine’s personal decolonizing work they recognize, acknowledge, and honor the lives lost in genocide on this land we are occupying here in Minneapolis and in Minnesota.

I offer sliding scale prices, selective barter, or trade options for Emotional Release sessions and Birth work. I believe any birthing person who wants a doula should have one (I never use the word "should" lightly). I provide doula services in all types of locations (home births, birth centers, & hospitals).  I practice Emotional Release Therapy at the Center for Performing Arts.

Birth Matters

I believe how people birth and how people come onto the planet matters. Empowered birthing people and a soft landing on Earth for the baby are my main objectives as a birth support person. People become empowered through: education, claiming space, being seen and heard, daily balance techniques to feel embodied and grounded, & being witnessed in their transformation into parenthood. All these factors combine to allow a soft landing for the new soul.

What a gift to be able to experience giving life - growing an entire being and presenting them to the world - and choosing the way that feels right to do so! I bring a calm grounded state of non-judgment to the birth room. I am able to hold space for your experience and witness you in your power.

I offer evidence-based informational support during our pre-natal meetings so you can make informed decisions surrounding your birth path options. I offer constant physical presence and support during labor. Also, I am Spinning Babies trained to provide daily comfort and balance techniques for pregnancy and logistical techniques to be used during labor. 

Full Spectrum

I also offer abortion doula services and support. This is your experience and my role is to empower and witness you in your process & power without judgment. I offer transport to and from appointments, education about procedures, companionship, and comfort measures.
