Greetings! I'm Catherine, a dedicated Birthing and Postpartum Doula based in the serene surroundings of Nevada City, CA. My journey began in outdoor education, specializing in working with children and emphasizing positive psychology. Venturing into the birthing realm ignited my passion, driven by the uniqueness of every birth and family I encounter. In my birthing practice, I prioritize empowering you and your partner through informed discussions to shape and advocate for your personalized birth plan. I foster a judgment-free, supportive environment throughout the delivery, providing unwavering assistance at every phase. During the crucial weeks and months of postpartum recovery, my aim is multifaceted. From aiding with breastfeeding to organizing and tidying your home, caring for other children in the household, supporting meal preparation, and facilitating your rest and self-care, I'm dedicated to your holistic well-being. Understanding that support manifests differently for each individual, I'm committed to tailoring a bespoke plan that resonates with your unique requirements. My goal is to ensure you feel comprehensively supported on your journey. I'm eagerly anticipating our meeting and the opportunity to forge a meaningful connection with you. Wishing you all the best, and sending abundant love your way! Warmly, Catherine :)
