About me

Hello! I am a DONA International-trained postpartum doula who specializes in overnight care for your newborn. While you sleep, I care for your baby and provide gentle support for you as well. Breastfeeding parents can choose to have the baby bottle-fed or nurse during the night while I handle everything else — diapering, burping, swaddling, and settling baby back to sleep — so you can return to bed right away knowing your little one is in safe, experienced hands. My doula service is a true calling deep in my heart, and I welcome your questions as you navigate your parenting journey!

Service introduction

Every family is different, so the care I provide is always tailored to your needs. My goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and well-rested. While I care for your newborn through the night so you can sleep, I also offer breastfeeding support, bottle-feeding guidance, a compassionate listening ear, and evidence-based answers to the many questions that come with welcoming a new baby.

Kim was the ideal person to care for our baby and for our family as a whole during the early months after our son's birth. We chose her because of her warm presence and excellent background, and she immediately connected to our baby. She's calm, thoughtful, and always reliable. Kim is kind and loving, as well as open to our influence, studying up on the parenting styles, sleep/feeding preferences, and developmental philosophies that have become a part of our daily routine. All in all I can't recommend Kim too highly. She's been a wonderful part of our lives and we've felt fortunate to have her care for us and our son.
