Hi! I'm Katie, a postpartum doula, certified by the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA). Perhaps my best training for the job, though, comes from having experienced the birth and postpartum period with my four young children over the last decade.
I have always loved babies, and after having my own children, I became deeply passionate about caring for moms and babies in their first few weeks after birth. Every other developed (and underdeveloped!) nation has at least some system in place to help families during their fourth trimester, whether that be through cultural norms, sacred practices, the structure of their healthcare system, or even simply their acknowledgement of what a delicate time the postpartum period is. My goal in doing this important work is to help combat the lack of postpartum care that we have in this country, beginning with the care of you and your baby.
