Hi there! My name is Katie.
​
Through my own experience of giving birth to my rainbow baby, I have witnessed firsthand the benefits of a doula’s support. Since then, I have become a certified birth doula through DONA International and a Lamaze certified childbirth educator. I have found so much joy in supporting birthing people and their families as they work toward their own positive, empowering birth experiences.
​
It is my life's passion to work with and serve birthing people as they navigate pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I believe every birthing person deserves a doula, no matter how their baby enters this world. I also believe knowledge is power and enjoy helping my clients find the resources they need to make confident, informed decisions they can feel good about.
​
Whether I’m helping a client locate evidence-based information about inductions, reminding a partner to eat or rest during a birth, or holding a new parent’s precious baby so they can take their first shower at home, it is always a great honor and my pleasure to help however I can.
​
Specialties: birth doula. postpartum doula. group facilitation. childbirth education.
