As a Certified Bereavement Doula, I approach each family I serve with deep compassion, respect, and commitment to their healing journey. I believe that every family’s grief is unique, and my role is to provide a safe, empathetic space for them to process, honor, and navigate the profound loss of their baby. My philosophy centers around offering individualized, non-judgmental support that honors each family’s emotions, choices, and cultural or spiritual beliefs. I am here to listen, to hold space, and to guide gently through the moments that feel overwhelming, offering practical resources and heartfelt care along the way. My goal is to help families find small steps toward healing, to feel seen in their grief, and to know they are not alone in their journey. Together, we honor both the loss and the enduring love that remains.

I am a Certified Birth Doula, a Pre and Post Natal Fitness Coach, and a Body Ready Birth Pro. I always knew that my calling would be to help people, but found my way to birth work through the birth of my first baby. I was uninsured and uncertain but found a midwife and doula team who made me feel completely at ease. Despite that birth not going anywhere near to plan, I felt supported, safe, and empowered through my entire pregnancy and delivery. This is the kind of consistent and well-informed support that I brings to my practice. Every baby will come into this world differently and every delivery will be different. I am here to help parents navigate their choices and help them bring about the positive experience that they envision. Sara received her coaching certification so she can combine her own passion for fitness with her passion for birth work. It is important to her that pregnant bodies be recognized as strong and capable. She helps to direct her clients on how best to move safely and with strength throughout pregnancy so that the body is ready for birth and beyond. Acquiring her Certified Birth Pro status with the Body Ready Method allows her to take that one step further by addressing movement patterns with gentle exercises to help alleviate the aches and pains that come with pregnancy. Sara is currently working on the path to become a Midwife.

Hey, there mama! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kristin, a Wisconsin native, wife, friend, and doula! In my free time, I enjoy traveling, cooking, and spending time with my family. I have been "doulaing" since I can remember in the sense that I have always been passionate about serving, comforting, and supporting new moms and their sweet babies! I have been professionally trained by DONA International and CAPPA to provide continuous and unwavering support to you and your family before, during, and after your birth. I am a firm believer that every birth is a sacred time that displays the amazing strength of the human body and that every woman deserves to be heard, informed, and empowered during this wonderful time.
