Approach Birth With Confidence
At Golden Hour, my mission is clear: you were never meant to navigate this journey alone. Pregnancy and birth can bring a wave of emotions — joy, wonder, and gratitude, but also moments of uncertainty, anxiety, and loneliness. You might find yourself asking:
+ How can I prepare myself physically and mentally for birth?
+ Will I recognize when labor begins? What will contractions feel like, and how can I cope?
+ How can my partner provide meaningful, confident support?
+ My previous birth didn’t go as I’d hoped — how can I feel more informed, involved, and empowered this time?
As your doula, I’m here to walk alongside you through these questions and beyond. With compassion, holistic care, and evidence-based guidance, I’ll help you step into your birth experience feeling informed, supported, and empowered — no matter what path your journey takes.
Hi, I’m Doula Kat!
CD(DONA) | CCE | FSD | MAMA
With over five years of experience supporting diverse birth journeys, I bring both knowledge and compassion to every family I serve. As a certified childbirth educator, my approach is holistic and nonjudgmental—ensuring you feel confident, supported, and empowered every step of the way.
Families often tell me I’m relatable and knowledgeable, offering a warm, down-to-earth presence with a healthy dose of humor during prenatals. When birth begins, I step into a calm, grounding, and steady role—fully attuned to what you need in each moment. Adapting to your energy and meeting you where you are is at the heart of my work.
It’s an honor to walk alongside families through all types of birth experiences. No matter your path, I’m here to offer deep support, unwavering trust, and care that is fully aligned with your story.
Why Hire a Doula?
A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. But did you know the impact of a doula is backed by research? Studies show that having a doula by your side during childbirth can:
39% Reduction in Cesarean Births
15% Increase in Spontaneous Vaginal Births
10% Reduction in Use of Pain Medication
Shorter Labors (by an average of 41 minutes)
31% Increase in Birth Satisfaction
Other potential benefits include a lower need for interventions like Pitocin, a higher likelihood of successful breastfeeding initiation, and a reduced risk of postpartum mood disorders (here).
Beyond the statistics, as your doula, I am committed to providing you with compassionate and non-judgmental support throughout your journey. From hands-on comfort measures to empowering you to make informed decisions and creating a safe space for you to labor authentically, I will provide unwavering support.

Calinn’s Birth Story
“I got the exact birth experience I wanted and pictures to prove it ;) I found Kat through a class she was hosting and instantly knew she was the perfect fit for me after interviewing half a dozen doulas. Her mindset around the words we use in labor was so important to me. Our words are powerful!
I felt so confident knowing she understood exactly what I wanted for myself and my baby without any judgement. I love that she kept reminding me this is MY experience too not just for the baby. I felt so empowered, seen, heard, and supported before during and after labor. This 3rd birth experience was extremely healing, I love talking about it to everyone ‘I got to do it my way this time’.
I admire the relationship Kat has with the hospital staff. They truly worked so well together. I could tell the staff trusted and respected her. She was so great at knowing what words I needed to hear, the counter pressure points, and when to get the midwife.
I am forever grateful for Kat’s knowledge, support, and intuition on this special day I brought my baby into this world. The pictures she captured are images I look back on frequently with a joyful heart.”
