Your Guiding Light to a Radiant Birth

I created Golden Hour Birth Services for one reason: you weren’t meant to do this alone. No matter where you are on your birthing journey, I believe that you deserve unwavering support and a sense of community to guide you.

Regardless of your chosen birth plan, I wholeheartedly believe in your inherent strength to face what lies ahead. My approach is to combine evidence-based research with holistic, intuitive methods. I'll help you explore all of your birthing options so that you can connect with your intuition and make the best decisions for you.

I offer a range of services, including doula support, lactation visits, coaching and birth circles. I would love to be a guiding light for you during this transformative time.

"Kat was an essential part of my pregnancy and postpartum journey. Her knowledge (and humor) kept me sane while I endured the physical and emotional changes and challenges as a first time mother. She was extremely patient, trustworthy and a great listener. Her advice and feedback were tailored to our families needs. Having Kat present during my postpartum experience is a memory I will cherish with deep gratitude. I highly recommend Kat as a full spectrum doula for any and all expecting families!"

  • "Kat is supportive, compassionate, kind and incredibly knowledgeable. She was an invaluable part of our postpartum journey and taught us so much. She was exactly what we needed in order to feel empowered as new parents."

  • "Having Kat as a postpartum doula was an excellent decision for our family. It was a huge relief to have her around as we became parents for the first time. Most importantly, my partner was able to receive professional one and one postpartum care. Kat was inclusive in her care and educated me on ways to best support my partner and our newborn after birth."

  • "I cannot recommend Kat enough. She was so incredibly helpful and supportive in so many ways. And my son absolutely adored her. I'll always appreciate her supporting me on the new road of motherhood which can be nerve wracking and emotional. Kat was full of knowledge and encouragement. She made sure I was taking care of myself. I always looked forward to days she was gonna be there because I knew I could confidently get the care my son and I needed."

  • "I was able to have such a beautiful birth experience thanks to Kat! She has such a warm and kind personality. She brought a calming energy to my birth which was just what I needed. Her reassurance, along with my partner’s, helped me feel empowered. They have me the confidence I needed to listen to my body, and I was able to follow through with my plan of having a natural birth. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone who is looking for a doula and use her again for any possible future pregnancies of my own!"
