About me

Hi, I’m Catherine, a certified birth and postpartum doula and the founder of Nest & Nurture — where being a mom meets being a doula. As a mother myself, I understand the beauty, uncertainty, exhaustion, and transformation that comes with motherhood. As a doula, I bring that lived experience together with education, evidence-based information, compassion, and nonjudgmental support. My philosophy is simple: recommendations are not rules, and you are always in control of your care. I’m here to educate, nurture, advocate, and support you — never to make decisions for you. My goal is for every mother to feel heard, respected, confident, and empowered throughout her journey.

I hired Catherine as my postpartum doula, and it truly was such a great experience. She was warm, supportive, patient, and genuinely caring during such a vulnerable time. What I appreciated most was that she didn’t just focus on the baby. She made sure I felt supported and cared for as well. Having her there made my postpartum transition feel lighter and less overwhelming. I’m so grateful for her support and would absolutely recommend Catherine to any new mom looking for a postpartum doula. ❤️
