Kalista Zubiate - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Kalista

Nurture The Divine is rooted in serving and empowering women to achieve the birth experience of their dreams. There is so much transformation that occurs during all 4 trimesters of pregnancy and it’s important for women to feel understood, heard, and validated during this sacred time. My doula approach encompasses physical, emotional, educational, and energetic support in a warm and loving space. My goal is to bring truly comprehensive, safe, healing, and whole-hearted doula care to all the beautiful families that I am blessed to interact with. I truly believe there is immense value in providing a safe space for the divine feminine to shine. Even in rare cases when medical interventions are necessary for the safety of mom and baby, the sacred nature of birth can still be preserved.

HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Education Class: 5 Week Series

HypnoBirthing® is a tried and proven technique, as well as a philosophy that guides and prepares a woman in giving birth in a peaceful and extraordinarily beautiful manner. It is a program that considers the psychological, as well as the physical, well-being of the mother, her birth partner, and the newborn, independent of context, whether that be in the quiet of a home, a hospital, or a birth center. The HypnoBirthing® program is built around an educational process that includes special breathing, relaxation, visualization, meditative practice, attention to nutrition, and positive body toning. Most importantly it fosters an air of mutual respect for the birthing family, as well as the healthcare provider in a traditional healthcare system or an alternative setting.

What to expect

Just like every pregnancy is different, every birth experience will hold its own memories and emotions. When envisioning your wants and needs for your third trimester and birthing experience, it’s important to note what it is you’re looking for! I provide emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy and beyond! I meet with all of my clients, in person, to create a birth plan specific to their needs and desires. We go over any and all questions that you may have about pregnancy changes, breastfeeding, counter pressure, labor, and postpartum healing. Once you are in labor and ready for in person support, usually client is still at home, I will meet you and be with you until 1-2 hours post birth! Additionally, payment plans are available for all clients.

I don't even know where to start. I am almost 3 weeks postpartum and have been heavily reflecting on my pregnancy, labor, and delivery as a first-time mom. I matched with Kalista when I was about 20 weeks pregnant. The kindness, support, and education provided by Kalista from day 1 has made the entire experience incredibly memorable. My plan was to have an unmedicated birth, but complications along the way forced an induction and an epidural. My body continued to struggle to dilate, which caused a very uncomfortable, prolonged labor. There were many moments of feeling very challenged and overwhelmed. Kalista stayed by my side in the hospital the entire time, as soon as I was admitted. Kalista provided ambient lighting, meditation music, electrolytes, stress tools (ball and labor comb), suggested positions to try during contractions, and massaged my legs during the most intense times. One of the most memorable things I will always remember during my labor and delivery was her soft, kind words of encouragement during painful moments and during my actual delivery. I honestly can say that I wouldn't have been able to overcome the challenges without her and my fiance by my side. I was hard on myself when the turn of events changed my birth plan. Kalista made my fiance and I feel comfortable and confident that we could overcome it all and still have a positive delivery. When I look back on everything, I can honestly say that I will miss the entire experience and parts of me wish that it wasn't over. If I ever have another baby, I hope that Kalista is available again to help me have another positive birth experience. We are so grateful for her!

Frequently asked questions

Is it too soon to look for a doula?

I believe it is never too soon and never too late. Once you have entered your second trimester, searching for a doula is great thing to look into!

Is your full doula fee due when we book you?

No :) My packages require a 20% deposit and the rest of your balance is due at 36 weeks of pregnancy! You can customize your payment plan accordingly, without feeling financially strained! I am flexible and understanding!

Will you be with us after delivery?

Yes! I usually stay with clients 1-2 hours postpartum. I will be there for emotional support, should you need any repairs done. I will assist mama with first feeding, whether that be breastfeeding or bottle feeding. Also, I will be there to address any newborn care concerns and immediate postpartum plans :)
