Christina Christunas, RN-BSN, IBCLC

Aloha Womb Dancer was created by a Mother, Nurse, and Lactation Consultant who has a passion to empower families through their baby feeding journey. Christina has been a nurse since 2012 with experience in many areas of nursing (Home Health, Medical/Surgery, Hospice, Oncology, Labor & Delivery, Special Care Nursery, Outpatient Clinic, & School Nursing).  She has worked in many different settings around the USA. Christina has been blessed to have been apart of numerous family’s pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences through her work as an OB Travel Nurse, Childbirth Educator, Lactation Consultant, Carseat Technician, and Doula.  

Christina has personally experienced hospital birth, homebirth, pregnancy loss, tandem breastfeeding, breastpumping/bottle feeding, stay-at-home Mom life, working Mom life, etc. Her firstborn child was born on the island of Kauai where she experienced personally the need for more encouraging, accurate, and honest breastfeeding knowledge and support for all families. Also, having had other pregnancies during the pandemic and into post-pandemic, Christina has continued to personally witness the lack of resources easily available and genuine care needed for woman in each stage of pregnancy (especially postpartum). 

A lot of knowledgeable and time is focused on the pregnancy, labor, and the birth, leaving very little time to educate and prepare families for the postpartum goals of breastfeeding/safe sleep/infant CPR & choking/proper breast pump & flange size to order/feeding cues/engorgement/maternal nutritional needs, etc. Ideally this knowledge would be so beneficial during pregnancy so the Mother and her support system can have a better understanding of what to expect.

Christina feels our world needs to shift its focus to prioritizing Mothers and Fathers to feel inspired and equipped. She is determined to advocate for growing families, helping them to realize they truly are doing life's greatest work through their children. 

Aloha Womb Dancer strives to provide a lactation safe-haven through evidence-based knowledge, individualized care, and recognition of change to the family-unit.

Aloha translates to the "presence of breath" or "breath of life".
