Hi, I’m Kellie, a birth doula, pediatric nurse, women’s health herbalist, and the heart behind The Nourished Mother. I bring over a decade of nursing experience into the birth space, along with a deep reverence for the physiology of a woman’s body. My approach blends evidence-based care with herbal wisdom, breathwork, and somatic practices that help women soften, trust, and embody their power during pregnancy and birth. I believe birth preparation is not just about learning positions or writing a birth plan. It is about reconnecting to your body. It is about learning how your breath can soften your pelvic floor. It is about helping your partner feel confident holding you through intensity. It is about cultivating safety in your nervous system so your body can open. During our time together, we will prepare not only for labor, but for postpartum. We will discuss hormonal shifts, recovery, nourishment, support systems, and the emotional transformation into motherhood. I often incorporate herbal teas, grounding rituals, breathwork, and practical postpartum planning into our prenatal sessions. As both a nurse and a doula, I am comfortable navigating conversations with medical providers while also protecting the sacredness of your experience. I am a calm, steady presence who listens deeply and advocates clearly. My hope is that you feel informed, supported, and deeply connected to your body as you step into birth and motherhood. You deserve to feel nourished in every phase ❤️
As a nurse and doula, I provide a calm and supportive presence throughout the birthing and postpartum journey. My approach combines herbalism, somatic work, breathwork, and emotional support to guide individuals and families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I am comfortable navigating conversations with doctors and nurses, ensuring clear communication between all parties involved. My work emphasizes a holistic, individualized approach to care, supporting physical, emotional, and mental well-being. I help clients develop personalized plans, create a strong support system, and integrate practical tools for a smoother transition into parenthood. I am dedicated to nurturing both the birthing person and their partner throughout this transformative experience.
"Working with Kellie has been life-changing. She holds space with such warmth, wisdom, and care. I felt deeply seen and supported as I learned how to reconnect with myself in ways I never imagined. Her ability to guide with both deep knowledge and gentle presence is something truly special. With the tools she gently gave me, I feel confident in taking this next step on my journey ."

"Kellie has a gift for helping you tune into your body’s innate wisdom in a way that feels natural, not forced. She holds space with such grace, allowing you to surrender to the rhythm of your own body, trusting its strength and knowing. This was more than just guidance—it was a transformative experience of deep listening and embodied power."
