Hello, my name is Kate, and I am a prenatal, birth, and postpartum doula, as well as a proud mom of one. As both a doula and a mother, I understand the physical, emotional, and life changing journey of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and specialize in mobility education and coaching, flexibility, pelvic floor support, lactation support, newborn education, and light household assistance during the postpartum period. My goal is to provide compassionate emotional, physical, and informed support for both mom and dad throughout pregnancy, labor and birth, and the postpartum transition. I strive to help families feel informed, empowered, and confident while creating a safe and supportive environment every step of the way.

Being a doula is truly a calling and a passion of mine. I love walking alongside expectant mothers and their families during one of the most beautiful and life-changing moments of their lives. My heart is to help every family feel supported, encouraged, confident, and cared for throughout her birth journey. My faith is at the heart of everything I do. I believe every birth is unique and a precious gift from God. Whether I’m offering comfort, encouragement, prayer, or simply a calming presence, my greatest joy is helping families welcome their little ones into the world with peace, love, and confidence

With a medical background and over 20 years of experience as a midwife, I have dedicated my career to supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. For the past 15 years, I have also worked as a lactation consultant, helping mothers navigate breastfeeding with confidence, compassion, and evidence-based support. For the last 8 years, I have been working in the United States as a postpartum doula, providing gentle, professional care tailored to each family’s unique needs. My goal is to help parents feel calm, supported, and confident as they take their first steps into motherhood, creating a peaceful and nurturing start for both baby and family.

I support individuals and families through every stage of the reproductive experience: preconception, pregnancy, birth, loss, and postpartum, with care that’s holistic, culturally sensitive, and rooted in real life, not just the birth plan on paper. As a certified Full Spectrum Doula, Certified Lactation Educator (CLE), and Child Passenger Safety Technician, I bring a full toolkit to every experience I join, so you’re not juggling five different providers for the pieces that matter most. Lactation support is close to my heart. Feeding is one of the areas where folks get the least real preparation and the most pressure. I’m here to make sure you have grounded, judgment~ free support from day one, whether that’s latch troubleshooting, pumping logistics, or just someone reminding you that “enough” looks different for everyone and every baby. With over ten years of experience and maternal, paternal & child care, I’ve learned that the best support isn’t performative. It’s steady. I show up prepared, I listen first, and I meet you where you actually are, not where a checklist says you should be. My approach draws on trauma-informed, culturally responsive practice, and I welcome everyone, however your household looks, whatever your experience has brought you. If you’re looking for a doula who treats your experience as sacred and specific to you, I’d love to be part of your life
