About me
Hi! I’m a birth and postpartum doula passionate about helping families feel calm, informed and supported during one of the most transformative times in life. My approach is grounded in gentle encouragement, evidence based information and intuitive care. I believe birth isn’t just a medical event that brings life into this world but a spiritual, vulnerable and transformative time and you as a mother deserve extra support.

Ratings and reviews
Kristen was an incredible support during my pregnancy and birth. She brought such calm and reassuring energy and always seemed to know exactly what I needed in the moment. Her advice was amazing and truly helped me understand my options and achieve the birth experience I wanted. Her knowledge and encouragement gave me the confidence to trust my body and my choices. I am so grateful for her presence she made such a difference in my birthing experience. Kristen’s support went beyond me as she also gently guided my husband and showed him how to be actively involved in the process. Because of her, he felt confident and engaged, and together we were able to navigate birth as a united team. Her ability to support not just the birthing person but the partner as well sets her apart, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly empowering birth experience.
