I’m Christie Davis RM,CPM,CTP. I’m a Certified Professional Midwife in the State of Colorado and I’ve been in private practice in and around Colorado Springs since 2012. Before that, I have attended to women in childbirth in various capacities since 1999. In that time, I’ve developed a deep passion for working with my clients through their traumatic birth experiences. Did you know that 40% of women describe their birth as traumatic? And I’ve found that many more don’t identify with the word trauma, but still have intense and unresolved feelings around their birth. Sometimes it is simply the intensity of the process and how that has affected their body and life, sometimes it is much more than that. Through years of hearing stories I have been motivated to learn more about trauma. In 2018 I achieved the certificate of Certified Trauma Professional through PESI. In 2020 I earned my Certified Compassion Fatigue Professional certification. I am currently working my way through my Somatic Experiencing certification and have already begun integrating this amazing trauma work into my practcie.

Along with my work with birthing people who have experienced traumatic delivery, I work with health care professionals with Burnout, Compassion Fatigue and Secondary Trauma. I have personally experienced Burnout and Secondary Trauma in the course of my work and find this area of my job near and dear to my heart. I have been honored and humbled to care for fellow health care providers as they learn about and find ways to both heal and prevent burnout and also work through secondary trauma.
