My name is Kirstie and I am a birth worker, peer lactation counselor, birth plan educator and placenta encapsulator. I received training from HERBAL Academy and the famous Indie Birth Doula Academy. I enjoy working with expecting and new parents as they embark in their parenting journeys! If you would like to connect, please send me a message here or send me a text: (510) 993-5952. I would love to schedule you for a consultation to see if we would be a good fit to work together. I accept insurance payments and we can discuss that during our consultation to see if your insurance will accept the services I offer! Payment plans are available for parents who may not have insurance coverage but see my services as a need.

Kirstie was so amazing in guiding me through my birth. She taught me about having a birth plan and having it written it out so that doctors would follow my wishes. A birth plan was something I hadn’t even thought of but Kirstie was instrumental in helping me think ahead and giving me the best chance of having a safe birth for me and baby. She was also great in my postpartum. She checked in often and helped me breastfeeding. Teaching me massage that help milk production and foods I can eat also to help my milk supply. She thinks about all your needs before you even realize you need it. She’s a warm, calming presence to have at your most vulnerable time. There’s no other person I would recommend when looking for help in your birth and postpartum journey. Kirstie is simply the best!
