About me

Hello, I’m Chris Hinkley. I’ve been married for 40 years, and I’m the proud mom of three grown sons and a grandma to one sweet grandson. Family has always been at the center of my life, and it’s what inspired me to dedicate my work to supporting new parents. As a Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist, I love coming alongside families during those tender first months. My heart is to help you feel rested, supported, and confident as you learn to care for your little one. I combine practical newborn care and healthy sleep foundations with gentle encouragement—because I believe parents thrive best when they feel both capable and cared for. Every family is unique, and I tailor my approach to your needs and values. Whether you need help with feedings, sleep routines, or just a calm presence in your home, I’m here to make the transition smoother. My greatest joy is watching parents grow in confidence, knowing they can not only get through the newborn stage—but truly enjoy it.
