CJ Thorp

CJ Thorp is a birth/postpartum doula and midwifery student based in Houston, TX, who has been passionate about the birth world for many years. Trained by DONA, she also works at a freestanding birth center. CJ is dedicated to promoting a calm, low-intervention environment and trusts the abilities of our bodies to do the work of birth when given the time and space.

CJ celebrates the importance of prenatal education, informed decision making, and respecting the birth space.  

As a postpartum doula, she enjoys prioritizing the parents' sleep and supporting whatever their feeding goals may be. She loves spending time with babies and ensuring they feel safe and loved, while providing space for the parents and support around the house. She believes realistic expectations about normal newborn behavior can make a world of difference in the postpartum period.

In her free time, CJ enjoys traveling, drumming, and exploring Houston's many restaurants. As a Christian, she celebrates and respects everybody's different paths to parenthood, ensuring that her support is inclusive and affirming of diverse beliefs and backgrounds.

I love holding and celebrating the birth and postpartum space as a sacred transition in life. I love providing well-rounded support and respecting the many decision-making paths birth and parenthood may take you on.
