About Katherine

I first felt called to serve mothers and babies when I began instructing perinatal yoga classes and birth preparation workshops, and then became a mother myself. I journeyed with birthing families and witnessed their transformation into parenthood. I felt the support and connection from other parents as I lived my own profound transformation. Later, I completed the DONA International Postpartum Doula training through the Simkin Center at Bastyr University, and then became a certified postpartum doula. My approach is to mother the mother so she can heal and regain her energy, and enjoy bonding with her baby. I offer traditional Asian postpartum care and cooking if my clients desire. My aim is to empower parents to trust their own instincts and parent the way they want.

Katherine is an amazing postpartum doula. She is very attentive and dedicated to making sure you rest and relax first and foremost. She helped me take seriously the strictness of staying in bed for the first month postpartum and making sure I wasn't doing too much. Every time she came I was sure to be provided with great food, a break from my beautiful baby and some rest and relaxation for my body whether it was in the form of belly binding, massage or a foot scrub. She was also very knowledgeable about pumping and bottle feeding which I needed since I hadn't done any of that for my first child. I am extremely grateful that I had her as my postpartum doula!

My husband and I had the immense privilege of having Katherine as our postpartum doula for our first 6 weeks as brand new parents. You can tell this isn't just a job for Katherine in the way she puts her entire heart into every day. We were so lucky to have her in our corner; She not only took care of our physical needs (watching the baby so we could sleep, nourishing meals, relaxing massages, belly wrapping, etc), but also watched out for our emotional/mental health needs. She also taught us many practical skills such as bathing our baby, clipping his nails and entertaining/enriching him during his wake windows. Most importantly though, she continuously empowered us, reminding us that we DO know what we're doing and that we're the best parents for our little one- something that was very easy to lose sight of while in the thick of it. My husband, our baby and I all cried on Katherine's last day- it really felt like we had a close family member caring for us, and we were sad to say goodbye to her. If you have the opportunity to work with Katherine, do not hesitate! She is truly a gem, and I'm so grateful that she helped us into this new era of our lives.

I wholeheartedly recommend Katherine Lee and her postpartum doula services. You simply won’t find this level of care anywhere else. I spent a long time trying to put into words the professionalism, warmth, and genuine nurturing that Katherine brought into our home. She is that village every family needs! The truth is, I could write an entire essay and still not capture it all—but I want to highlight just how essential she was for us during the postpartum period, in hopes it helps other families seeking support. Katherine has truly found her calling as a postpartum doula. She brings a deep well of experience, knowledge, and compassion, and she supported my healing journey—both physically and emotionally—every step of the way. As a first-time mom, those early weeks felt especially tender and vulnerable, and her presence made all the difference. Our baby is thriving, and I genuinely believe her care and commitment had a significant positive impact on his early development. The tummy time, nursery rhymes, massages and just all the loving, has turned our newborn into a confident, happy and smiley baby :) On top of everything, Katherine is an incredible cook. She prepared customized, nutrient-rich meals tailored to the first 30 days postpartum (the “Golden Month”) and continued to nourish us well beyond that. Looking back, I now fully realize how invaluable it was to have someone we could trust wholeheartedly—to care for me, our baby, and even dad. I’m endlessly grateful that I found her, she is truly worth her weight in gold.
