When "caring" for my newborn she put him to sleep in a boppy with a blanket over his head. She has zero knowledge of safe sleep, paced bottled feeding. She IS NOT certified to be a doula, let alone since 1995. Kate Brady is Heather's alias to combat negative reviews. This woman should be in prison. Theft by swindle in 2006. Robbery in 2023. Just ran into her at my sons gymnastics class, she is a vile, predatory woman.

Heather is not Dona trained. She has a record and is not to be trusted in your house or with your family. Please beware protect yourself.
