About me

Hi, I'm Chriselly! My path to birth work is rooted in a deep love for community, healing, and advocacy. With a double Bachelor's in Psychology and Public Health (Health Promotion), I’ve combined academic knowledge with lived experience to support families through the emotional, physical, and spiritual transitions of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

I was drawn to this work after witnessing how often people — especially in underserved communities — feel unheard or unseen during such a vulnerable time. I founded Nurtured by Chriselly to change that. My approach is grounded in compassion, cultural awareness, and a belief that every birthing person deserves to feel respected, informed, and empowered.

This isn’t just a career — it’s a calling. I show up for each client with care, intention, and a full heart, because I truly believe that being nurtured makes all the difference.
