CHRISTY MUSCATO

Christy is a lover of many things including music, books, art, her amazing kids and has sometimes been known to series binge on Netflix. She has lived in many states and many homes. This gives her an understanding of being away from family and close friends during life-changing events like the birth of your child. She has been honored to be invited into a variety of births and to provide support. Some have included VBACs, high-risk, single parent, twins, c-sections, even a vaginal breech delivery! She has supported many natural and medicated births as well as hospital and homebirths. After an “emergency” c-section for her 1st daughter, she knew there was more to birth. She looked and was amazed at what she found. Doulas, Lamaze, amazing networks of supportive women. Her tribe. Her second daughter was a beautiful VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) supported by her amazing doula.

Christy is a Certified Birth Doula with DONA® International (2006), a Lamaze® Certified Childbirth Educator (2006), an Approved Birth Doula Trainer with DONA International (2016), a Postpartum Doula and has trained with Postpartum Support International which is a great resource for families dealing with postpartum mood disorders.

In addition to being a Spinning Babies® Parent Educator (2018), she is an Active Certified Body Ready Method℠ Pro (2022) and Body Ready Birth Teacher (2024). Christy is a founding member of the Doula Cooperative and a proud member of Rochester Area Birth Network in Rochester, NY. Her witness to how birth can change a woman’s life gives purpose to her goals of educating and empowering families before and during labor as well as provide support during the postpartum period. She is excited to share with women the strength and choices they have.
