Hello everyone! I am a full spectrum doula and I currently have availability to take on birth clients. I am very passionate about working with birthing people and babies. I received my full spectrum doula certification from Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings in 2023 and I have been supporting families in this period of life for years. My experience is in doula care, infant day-care settings, nannying, non-profit work, and milk banking. My long term goal is to have an impact on marginalized communities. Doula care, especially support during the postpartum period, is seen as a luxury to many people, because it has become more inaccessible. I aim to serve all families and parents, especially those that are not always able to get the care that they need. I am also a certified breastfeeding specialist.

Hi, I’m Kolby, a full spectrum doula! I come from a big family and have always loved birth & babies. I have been working with children for the past 10 years. In college, I studied nursing (my mom is a nurse), as well as reproductive health. As a doula, I love being able to care for babies and help families adjust to this new stage of life. It makes me happy knowing I’m making a difference in someone’s home. Building relationships and trust with families is important to me, something I take seriously as your doula.

As a doula, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families through a wide variety of birth experiences, including inductions, unmedicated and medicated births, cesarean births, VBAC/TOLAC, and high-risk pregnancies. I especially enjoy working with Spanish-speaking families and helping bridge language and communication gaps so that they feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their care. My approach is warm, calm, educational, and judgment-free. I believe there is no single “right” way to give birth or navigate postpartum. My role is to help families understand their options, advocate for their preferences, and feel supported in the decisions that are right for them.

I’m excited to continue expanding the support I can offer families beyond birth and into the newborn period, including newborn care, parental education, postpartum adjustment, and healthy sleep foundations. It is truly an honor to be welcomed into such an important and intimate chapter of a family’s life, and I strive to make every family I work with feel cared for, respected, and never alone in the process.
