If you welcome me into your birth space I hold this responsibility close to my heart. I am deeply passionate about supporting you in trusting your body, knowing your rights, and protecting the sacredness of your birth! I can't wait to meet you!! The women + people I work with are looking for a doula who is… Collaborative, heart-centered, and authentic - While being evidence-based, flexible, and rooted in supporting intuitive, body-led birth I consider myself a birth nerd, and mental health advocate. I also have deep trust in the human body's ability to birth.

Michelle was an incredible source of strength during one of the most vulnerable moments of my life. My labor didn’t go the way the birth plan we created and at times I felt overwhelmed and unheard by the doctors Michelle made sure I never felt invisible. She truly listened to me advocated for me, and helped me feel seen and understood when I needed it most. Even when things became difficult and unpredictable, she kept me grounded with her calm presence and reassurance. Having my doulas by my side made all the difference they supported me with so much compassion and care that it felt like having family in the room. I’m so grateful I got to work with them and I would want them by my side for every birth because of the love, strength, and comfort they brought to my experience. ?? Truly even after my emergency C-section having doulas was one of the best choices I've made.

Hi, I’m Catherine! 🤍 I’m a mom to four boys, a birth doula, and a birth photographer. My passion for birth really began after my first homebirth. It was the first time I truly felt empowered, informed, and connected to my own strength throughout the birth process—and it completely changed the way I saw birth. I owe it all to choosing the right birth team! That experience sparked a desire in me to help other women experience that same sense of confidence and empowerment, no matter where or how they choose to birth. I believe our bodies were created with an incredible ability to give birth, but I also believe we were never meant to do it alone. I’m here to hold your hand, remind you of how strong you are, help you navigate the unknown, and celebrate with you when you finally get to meet your baby. The way I serve my clients is best described as being your “birth bestie” or “birth sister.” I want to truly know you—your hopes, your dreams, your fears, your past experiences, and what makes you feel safe and supported—because the better I know you, the better I can support you. Throughout pregnancy, I offer a listening ear, a calm presence, encouragement, and a safe space to talk through all the “tmi” things on your mind. And when birth arrives, I’ll be right there beside you, offering steady hands, reassurance, comfort, and support for both you and your partner. As a birth photographer, I also have the privilege of preserving the beautiful, raw, emotional moments that can feel like a blur afterward—the hands holding yours, your partner’s face, the anticipation, the tears, and those first moments with your baby. Your birth is a story worth remembering. I would be so honored to walk alongside you and be part of such a sacred chapter in your story. So… if this sounds like the kind of support you’ve been looking for, let’s grab coffee and chat about all the birth-y things! ☕️

We chose Catherine to take maternity photos, and it was the best choice we could have made! Before the process she had flexible availability and amazing communication making it easy to plan. During the photos she helped make us feel comfortable, taking her time to get exactly what we were asking for. Once we received the photos back (faster than expected) I could not wait to show our family and friends. We are so grateful for Catherine and can’t wait to do more photos together!

From the moment we started working with Sophia at Devout Doula Services, it was clear that we had made the right decision. She not only provided us with emotional and physical support but also with an incredible depth of knowledge and resources that empowered us throughout our birth. She was there for us every step of the way, from early pregnancy to postpartum, offering guidance on everything from nutrition to birth plans. Sophia respected and listened to our wishes, ensuring that we felt heard, seen, and genuinely cared for. The personalized tips and continuous availability via text and calls helped alleviate our anxieties. The prenatal visits were not only informative but also incredibly reassuring. During labor, She advocated for us with the medical staff, ensuring that all actions were in our best interest. Her support was not just professional but deeply personal. We recommend Sophia without reservation to anyone looking for a doula who will respect, empower, and support you throughout your birthing process.

Amazing Support – A True Blessing! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Joanna Guzman. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. She provided not only expert knowledge and guidance but also incredible emotional support throughout my pregnancy, labor journey. During my delivery, Joanna was my rock—calm, reassuring, and always one step ahead, anticipating my needs before I even voiced them. She helped me feel empowered, confident, and safe throughout the entire process. Her warmth, patience, and dedication made all the difference, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without her.
