About Christine

Hi, I'm Christine, but you can call me Chris.

I live on the KZN South Coast with my four wild little ones, who are unschooled, barefoot more often than not, and always teaching me about life. Our days are shaped by the ocean, sandy feet, vegetable seedlings that sometimes thrive and sometimes don’t, and the endless rhythm of tea, books, and mothering.

I’ve always been many things at once: a writer, a web designer, a birth worker, a mother, a student of Aware Parenting, a beginner gardener. My path has never been linear, but it has always been guided by one devotion: to stay close to what matters.

I love reading (far too many books at once), swimming in the ocean, drinking copious amounts of tea, and dreaming of new ways women can feel more supported, in their work, in their mothering, in their birth journeys.

About My Work

Birthwork has always felt like an ancestral calling. I trained as a doula through Birth International and later stepped into traditional midwifery. Supporting women in birth has never felt like something I chose, it feels more like something that chose me.

Alongside midwifery and doula care, I’ve built a thriving web design business where I help women create soul-aligned brands and websites. I also write about conscious mothering and slow living on my Substack, Raising Wise Women. These threads might look different from the outside, but to me, they are all part of the same weaving: holding space, creating beauty, and staying true to what feels sacred.

I believe birth, business, and motherhood all carry the same truth:

we thrive when we feel safe, seen, and free to trust ourselves.

What I Believe

Birth is not just a medical event, it’s a rite of passage.
Websites are not just digital homes, they are sacred spaces.
Mothering is not just caretaking, it’s soul work.

At the heart of everything I do is a quiet faith in women’s wisdom, in children’s resilience, and in the power of creating lives that are rooted in trust, reverence, and freedom.
