Meet katie
Hi, I’m Katie, a postpartum doula certified by the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA). But my best training for the job comes from my own experiences with the birth and postpartum of my four children over the last decade.
I’ve 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. My goal is to help combat the lack of postpartum care in this country, starting with you and your baby.
FAQs

Anyone who has welcomed a new baby! My services are tailored to meet the needs of you and your family, so whether it is your first baby and you're looking for guidance and reassurance (and sleep!), or you're a seasoned parent who needs help with the day to day (and also, sleep!), I am there to be an extra set of hands during the fourth trimester.

My role is simple: to come into your home and support you in whatever way feels most helpful to you on any given day. If you're feeling exhausted because baby was up all night, I can care for baby so that you can nap (or even just shower!). If you'd like a cozy morning of snuggling or feeding baby, I can do some light housework, meal prep, bottle/pump washing so that you can enjoy that time with your sweet baby and not feel like you need to hurry up and get to the dishes or laundry that have been piling up. I can also offer emotional support (I love a good birth story, especially if you want to unpack it a bit to process things), and can give some general baby care or feeding tips, or point you towards other resources if you'd like.

Some moms book me months in advance of their due date, wanting the certainty of help lined up for baby’s arrival. Other moms reach out just before their due date as things start to really come into focus. And other parents find me in the days and weeks after having a baby when they start to feel the need for some extra hands and help. Whenever it is that you are ready to reach out, I am so grateful to hear from you and to see if we might be a great match.

Nothing! You don’t need to plan, prep, or do anything in anticipation of my arrival. Certainly if you have things know you'd like help with I can do them, but often I will just intuitively figure out what I can do to ease things for you so that you can focus on resting, recovering, and most importantly enjoying your new baby.

Sometimes! My services are self pay and you can use any major credit card, or a FSA/HSA card. After our visit I will give you a superbill which you can submit to your insurance to see if they will reimburse you for some or all of my time with you. Many insurance companies are getting better about offering coverage for a variety of postpartum supports, so it is always worth checking with your insurance provider!
