Hello! My name is Catherine. I’m a mom to three boys + one on the way and I’m a traditional birth doula. I became passionate about the process of physiological birth after I had my first homebirth with my third son…it was the first time I truly felt empowered during the birth process and now I want every mother to be able to experience that same feeling! I believe as women we have everything we need to give birth already inside of us but that we don’t have to do this alone! I’m here to hold your hand, remind you of how strong you are and celebrate with you when the hard part is over! I would be honored to be a part of your journey. The way I serve and support women as a doula is best described as “birth bestie” or “birth sister.” I want to truly get to know you (because the better I know you the better I can support you!) and hear all your dreams and desires for birth. I offer a listening ear and a calming presence for anything you might need to work through or discuss throughout your pregnancy journey. If any of this sounds good to you, let’s go grab coffee and chat about all the birth-y things! ☕️ https://msha.ke/jubilantbirth www.instagram.com/jubilant.birth

My services I offer are unique in the way that I am a more traditional type of birth doula, I focus a lot on connection with my clients and being an anchor for them throughout pregnancy and labor. I don’t focus as much on the business side of things and on birth education because I don’t see it to be as important as the words we pour into a mother, the gentle touch, affirmations and the way we are able to serve her. Please message me and I will send over all the info on my services offered! :)
Catherine really made my experience special. This was my first pregnancy and I didn’t really know what to expect with labor and delivery. I tend to be more of a nervous person so my midwife recommended I hire a doula. I was already in my third trimester and had reached out to so many but had no luck. Then Catherine reached out on here and she was exactly what we were looking for! I’m so very thankful that she was our doula. She has such a warm personality and so very sweet! She also captured such beautiful moments during my labor and delivery that I will cherish forever! She supported and encouraged my husband and I as we welcomed our baby girl into this world. So very blessed to have met her! ☺️

I’m beyond grateful for Catherine — she was not only a steady support during my home birth, but also captured the most raw and beautiful moments of my labor through her lens. The photos she delivered are a treasure I’ll cherish forever!

We decided to have birth photos done very late in my pregnancy & I’m so thankful we found Catherine! She was such a blessing to us during our birth. I planned & hoped for a birth at my local birthing center, but baby was comfy & I ended up needing an induction, which led to a c-section. Catherine arrived to the hospital & was so helpful to us, even offering some laboring tools that she had on hand. Though we did not utilize her doula services, we got a glimpse of what she has to offer & I will absolutely utilize her as a doula in the future. She captured one of the most vulnerable times in our lives, even making 2 trips to do so, due to my slow & long labor. We loved her so much that we asked her to take come to our home & capture our newborn photos as well, & we are so happy with her work. She is truly incredible at what she does & we cannot wait to work with her for years to come!

Throughout pregnancy I went back and fourth as to if I should hire a doula or not. I made the decision to and I’m SO glad I did. When I first met with Catherine, I knew she would be the perfect choice. Throughout pregnancy she provided tips on how to breastfeed, baby wear, and set myself up for success postpartum. During birth, she could read my every need and knew exactly what to suggest or do. There were times throughout my birth where I was struggling and locked eyes with her and felt safe. She encouraged me and told me, “you’re made to do this, there is nothing to fear”. After birth, she has been an amazing resource. As a first time mom, I had so many questions and she always gave the best advice. She has sent me articles, podcasts, doctors, anything I needed to make the transition into motherhood more smooth. My husband and I are forever grateful for Catherine. We cannot picture pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period without her. She was our rock when we needed her. She feels like a longtime friend and I wish we lived closer!

I couldn’t recommend Catherine enough! She is the best doula and is so helpful through every step of the pregnancy. She always answers every question I have and is such an amazing support throughout the whole pregnancy and post partum. I couldn’t do it without her!
