Working with Katelyn was hands down the best decision we made for our birth and postpartum journey. She was truly irreplaceable, and I honestly know I wouldn’t have had such a successful, positive birth experience without her.
From the start, Katelyn prepped both my husband and me so thoroughly that we felt confident going into labor. When a preeclampsia diagnosis completely threw our original expectations out the window, Katelyn didn't miss a beat. She immediately helped us pivot and had a brand-new birth plan ready, guiding us through every shift with calm, compassionate expertise.
Her care didn't stop in the delivery room, either. As someone navigating postpartum anxiety, Katelyn was an absolute lifeline. She helped us ease into newborn sleep schedules, patiently answered our endless questions, and gave us so much peace of mind during those vulnerable early weeks.
If you are looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, adaptable, and deeply supportive, hire Katelyn immediately. We are forever grateful for her!

As first-time parents, my husband and I had no idea how to prepare and understand the complexities around the hospital, birth preferences and how to manage my overall pregnancy. Katelyn was an absolute angel, she came in with so much knowledge and helpful resources, helping us feel prepared and giving us peace of mind during our journey. Postpartum, she was available for overnight support which gave me a few extra hours of sleep that were very much appreciated with a newborn.
We truly could not recommend her enough!

There aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Katelyn. She wasn’t just our doula—she became one of the biggest sources of support during one of the most important and emotional times of our lives.
Before our daughter was born, Katelyn prepared us with thoughtful education and guidance that helped us feel ready for birth and parenthood. When our delivery unexpectedly turned into an emergency C-section, she didn’t just check in—she showed up. She came to the hospital the very next morning, helped us navigate everything, answered our questions, and made sure we felt supported during an experience that was far different than we had imagined.
Having Katelyn as our night doula afterward was one of the best decisions we made. From the very first night, we knew our daughter was in the safest, most loving hands. Her knowledge, warmth, and confidence allowed us to finally rest, knowing someone we completely trusted was caring for our baby. She anticipated our needs, reassured us through every challenge, and gave us peace of mind when we needed it most.
Katelyn has a rare combination of expertise, kindness, and genuine compassion. She made us feel supported every step of the way and helped transform an unexpected birth experience into a positive postpartum journey. We will always be thankful for the care she gave our family, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding doula. She is simply the best.

We hired Katelyn as our night doula. Katelyn is very good at taking care of babies. She helped us a lot in the first month postportum. Our baby initially had some diaper rash and as new parent, we were worried about how to handle it. She quickly gave us really good advice of how to handle it. After that, our baby no longer had diaper rash! Another time our baby was not able to poop for two days and we were worried. She helped the baby with some movement and that night, the baby was able to poop! Her experience of taking babies is exceptional!

We are so grateful for our amazing doula! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and always made herself available to meet with us in person, which made a huge difference compared to virtual support. She answered all of our questions with patience and expertise, and guided us through choosing the right baby products, which was so helpful as first-time parents.
When I was unexpectedly hospitalized for five weeks due to a pregnancy complication—placenta previa that later transformed into vasa previa—she went above and beyond to support us. She went to our home and packed my hospital bag, making sure I had everything I needed. She also helped us with buying a stroller after discovering that our original choice wasn’t compatible with our car seat, and even installed the car seat for us. Throughout my hospital stay, she visited me regularly, offering comfort and reassurance during a very difficult time.
The birth ultimately resulted in a 1.5-hour C-section due to the vasa previa condition. She was there when I woke up, feeling extremely sick and overwhelmed, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without her emotional and mental support for both me and my husband. Her presence and guidance made us feel supported and empowered throughout the entire process.
In the postpartum period, she continued to be an incredible resource. She came to our home, offered advice on caring for our baby, and helped us install and learn how to use several products we had bought or received but had no idea how to use. Her hands-on support and practical guidance made a world of difference as we adjusted to life with our newborn.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better doula. She was our guardian angel, and we are so grateful she came into our lives. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care and support during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

I don’t even know where to begin, because words hardly feel like enough to capture what Katelyn meant to us during my labor and delivery. From the very beginning, she was an unwavering pillar of support — calm, knowledgeable, and always just a text away. Whether I had a random question or needed reassurance during those anxious final weeks, she was there, guiding us with warmth and compassion.
Then came the big day — and oh, what a movie-style labor it was. (Only 10% of pregnancies unfold this way, and no book, doctor, or classes could’ve prepared us.) When my mucus plug came out, Katelyn stepped in without hesitation. Even when the hospital initially sent us home, she calmly helped us understand what was happening and what to expect next. Only 2 hours later, my water broke with a dramatic gush — just like in the movies — she was already on her way to support us.
What followed was a true marathon: 26 hours of labor, no sleep, emotional highs and lows, and waves of intensity. Through it all, Katelyn stood by us like a rock. She helped us stay grounded when everything felt overwhelming and never wavered, even as the hospital dealt with a shortage of nursing staff. She guided me with position changes, and ensured I felt safe and supported — especially as I had opted for an epidural birth.
But beyond the physical support, Katelyn was a strong advocate for my birth plan. She made sure my voice was heard and my wishes were respected throughout the process.
If you’re considering hiring a doula, do it — and if you’re lucky enough to have one like Katelyn, you’ll be in the best hands. Her strength, knowledge, and genuine care made all the difference. If I ever do this again, I’d choose her in a heartbeat.
— Jenny K.
We feel so lucky and grateful for Katelyn's support! Our birth delivery didn't go as planned but Katelyn always kept in touch with us, constantly reaching out. She was always present and attentive. I really like the fact that we met Katelyn in person before the birth. She really took time to explain us the process, listen and answer our questions, validate and clear our fears/concerns.
I highly recommend Katelyn. She's kind, thoughtful, friendly and always supportive! Thank you so much for all your help ??
— Melanie
I’m very late in writing this, but Katelyn was an incredible support during such an important time in our lives that I couldn’t let more time pass without sharing.
She brought so much calm, care, and encouragement to my birth experience. I felt truly supported and safe with her by my side.
We were also lucky to have her as our night doula in those early postpartum months. Her presence gave us the gift of rest and peace of mind during a very exhausting time. She’s compassionate, knowledgeable, and clearly loves what she does.
We’re so grateful for everything she did for our family. If you’re thinking about working with her, do it. You’ll be in amazing hands.

I hired Katelyn to support the birth of my second child in April 2025, and my experience with her was wonderful. She was an incredible intermediary between the hospital staff and us throughout the process.
I began looking for a doula late in pregnancy in case my husband needed to stay home with our older child. We had only one prenatal visit before I went into labor two days later, but Katelyn made sure to understand my medical history, birth preferences, and ways to ease my discomfort. She helped me prepare for my final OBGYN visit by suggesting questions, one of which led to an ultrasound that revealed my baby was sideways. Since I was trying for a VBAC after a C-section caused by poor baby positioning, this was crucial. She also gave me exercises to help improve the baby’s position.
At the hospital, Katelyn was a strong advocate. She kept track of my contractions, explained everything happening around me, and gave context for decisions like whether to use Pitocin. I always felt informed and supported. When it came time to push, she was right there encouraging me and even helped the staff when needed. The nurses and midwives spoke highly of her.
She also visited postpartum to offer guidance on healing, breastfeeding, and newborn care. I felt fully supported even after delivery.
I’m incredibly grateful to have had Katelyn by my side. She made a stressful experience smoother and more empowering. I would absolutely work with her again and highly recommend her to others.

We were referred to Katelyn by a friend, and we’re so grateful for the recommendation. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and flexible with our schedule, which meant a lot to us during a hectic time. Even though our baby wasn't quite ready to come home yet, Katelyn still came over to help us prepare. She spent thoughtful time setting up our space, including creating a super organized and efficient station for sanitizing bottles.
She also shared so many helpful tips and recommendations for newborn care and must-have essentials, which gave us a lot of confidence as first-time parents. What stood out the most was her genuine care — she even followed up after her visit to check in on how we were doing.
Katelyn truly went above and beyond. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, and compassionate doula.
— Ann and Mike
First and foremost if you are considering hiring a doula, stop thinking and do it! Katelyn was extremely helpful and and comforting to both my husband from beggining to end! Being this was our first baby we had no idea what to expect in the process and Katelyn not only helped educate us, but advocated for me while in the hospital. Once contractions started and things got more intense Katelyn was amazing, calm and knew exactly what to do and how to help my husband as well. My birthing experience was not ideal (had to have a C-section), but Katelyn did everyting she could do to try to avoid this and I cannot thank her enough for being the extra support during this whole process.
I want to thank Katelyn again and I could not have asked for a better person to bring a long this crazy journey with!

Katelyn came several times before the birth to build a relationship and educate us. We struggled to find a hospital with midwives that would accept our insurance. Katelyn promptly found all the hospitals in the area and provided a list and even helped us make appts. During her visits we created a birth plan and contingencies for all medical situations. She walked us through every possible scenario and told us what the hospital would be required to do in certain scenarios. We Started labor in the early afternoon. Katelyn showed up early to help with pain management and facilitation of our day. She helped with timing the contractions length and frequency. When contractions reached 5-7 min apart we drove to the hospital. Once admitted we found out we were only 2 cm. With Katelyn’s help we decided it would be prudent to stay local at a hotel. Katelyn stayed in a conjoining room to help with pain and support. We didn’t sleep very much that first night. The next morning as contractions reached 3-5min, we were admitted. Katelyn walked through breathing exercises, TENS machine, music and scent therapy. Unfortunately, after 36 hours and much consideration we decided it was best to get an epidural. Katelyn was able to talk in detail about procedures and medications that would need to be started with the epidural. At 8cm dilated we had a 2 hour window to get some sleep because now nearing 48 hours none of us had slept much. Katelyn was able to assist Mama so that me and Mother could get an hour or two sleep before the last push. After 49 hours of labor; Katelyn being there for every minute, we had a healthy baby. I cannot stress how much help it was to have an extra set of hands or someone to talk to and ask questions. She was very respectful to hospital staff, while providing us education and real-time step by step processes. We couldn’t be happier having known Katelyn and couldn’t endorse her more. Thank you Katelyn from our family!

Working with Katelyn was a great experience as a first time Mom. I felt supported and aware of all of the possibilities with my birth. I also had gestational diabetes, and working with Katelyn made navigating that process so much less intimidating. I would highly recommend Katelyn to any Moms-to-be! She is compassionate, personable, and I was comfortable having her by my side through my three day long labor. She even came to visit my little one at 8 weeks.
— Chloe Lane
Katelyn is amazing. She was there with me all through my induction and delivery. Things didn't go as planned for me and I had to have a c- section. Katlyn stayed calm and explained everything every step of the way. I appreciated having her there more then any of the nurses. I would fully recommend Katelyn to anyone looking for a great doula. She is amazing and will make sure to advocate and be there with you every step of the way.
