Gia Chrissi
Holistic Family Doula in New York
I am a woman, a mother, a nurturer and a holistic family doula. I have been holding space for women, mothers and families since 2010. My passion for guiding women on their journey through life, their journey to self love, their journey to motherhood or any other journey they may be on has been fueled by my own journey to motherhood, self love, forgiveness and healing.
Although formal training is not necessary to empathize, sympathize and hold space for someone in need of support and love, I am a formally trained doula. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Development and a degree in Deviant Behavior and Social Control. I am also a DONA trained doula. So, not only do I approach each woman and family with love and compassion, I also have an understanding of women's rights, disparities in birth and the need to fill in the gaps when it comes to women having a voice and choice in the way they birth their babies. I approach each woman, family and birth with no preset agenda, other than to make sure you have the tools, support, encouragement and love you need to successfully make it through your journey.
