What Families Are Saying…
Arizona’s Birth Center Experience
“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 to feel empowered. They gave 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."
Through Kirsten’s Eyes
“I cannot recommend Kat as a doula enough. Each step of the way, she gave the most incredible advice, encouragement and guidance. I was able to get the reassurance throughout pregnancy that I was doing all the right things and she was also able to help us really focus our birth plan and determine what was important to us and how to advocate for ourselves. Not only is Kat extremely knowledgeable and professional but she is such a delight to be around. She is now a part of our chosen family and we could not have asked for a better person to have with us at the birth of our first child.”
Natalie’s Story - Laughing Through Labor
Kat was an essential part of my pregnancy and postpartum journey. Her knowledge (and humor) kept me sane while I endured 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 post-birth 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!
In Parisa’s Words
Highly highly recommend! The level of physical and mental support Kat provided my partner and myself, I don’t know where to begin.. As a first time parent, she provided a lot of guidance throughout my pregnancy and helped my partner and I prepare for what to expect pre and postpartum. Kat is amazing at what she does. She’s attentive, empathetic, and a joy to be around!
Amber’s Experience
“Kat was absolutely wonderful to work with. The prenatal visits to help us prep were very helpful. This was our first baby and we had a few complications so we had quite a bit of anxiety going on for the duration of the pregnancy. She gave us non-judgemental support and guidance with everything from what we really need for him to prepping for labor/delivery. She really focused on taking care of me and making sure that my husband was supported as well. Having her there at the hospital for labor and delivery was great-my husband didn't know how to help (neither did I), Kat let him know what he could try that made him feel more involved.”
Through Kendra’s Eyes
“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.”
Jay’s Account (Support Partner)
“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 1:1 postpartum support. Kat was inclusive in her care and educated me on ways to best support Natalie and our newborn after birth.”
Nicole’s Water Birth Experience
“We decided to hire a doula because I was a first time mom who was struggling with anxiety and really wanted a natural birth. I was looking for someone to both advocate for me and teach me. We chose [Kat] because we immediately felt heard and cared for, even across the screen. And I must say that truly felt heaven sent, an answer to our prayers. Meeting [Kat] ahead of time and talking through birth helped me tremendously. I went into labor feeling so confident that together we would birth this baby.”
Lauren’s Postpartum Care
Kat is supportive, compassionate, intuitive, 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.
Aly’s Classroom Experience
“I loved this class! Kat was not only knowledgeable about the content she covered, but you could feel the passion she has for this field through her delivery. The class offered numerous teaching methods, from educational power point slides, to interactive exercises, to informational hand outs-so this class is perfect for any learning style! It was a great course for my partner and I to connect, and learn together. Would highly recommend!
Julia’s Birth Story
Our experience with Kat is one we are truly so grateful for. As first-time parents, we were unsure if we needed a doula or not. After taking a birth class, we realized the support would be invaluable. We were navigating being an LGBTQ+ couple, dealing with the timing of our baby’s due date being Christmas, and searching for a doula at 30+ weeks pregnant—so the pressure to find someone we trusted was real.
Kat was highly recommended to us, and from our very first meeting, we knew we wanted her to support us throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She was incredibly responsive to our needs, listened carefully to our concerns, and provided so much education and reassurance during the final weeks of my pregnancy.
When I went into labor on Christmas Eve, Kat’s support was nothing short of amazing. She was responsive, talking us through my symptoms and helping us understand what was happening. My labor progressed quickly, and even though Kat was an hour away, she arrived at the birth center in record time.
Unfortunately, after some concerning high blood pressure readings, we had to transfer to a hospital, which was a difficult emotional moment for us since it was something we had hoped to avoid. However, Kat was an incredible advocate for us at the hospital. She made sure I was able to eat and drink during labor, kept the lights low to create a calm environment, and helped me labor in different positions—even with the epidural.
We honestly feel empowered by our birth story, even though it’s not what we originally planned. It’s hard to say we would have felt that way had we not had Kat’s support. Her presence, advocacy, and guidance gave us the strength to navigate a birth experience that, despite the unexpected turns, felt informed, positive, and truly ours.
We are so thankful for Kat’s unwavering support, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who is not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly compassionate and dedicated to ensuring you feel heard and empowered throughout your journey.
Elliot’s NICU Story
We couldn’t have asked for a better doula to get us through being in the NICU at the U of M Children’s Masonic Hospital for about a month, even after being home, she gave us all the tips & we are forever grateful of her service till this day! Definitely recommend her for your doula.”
Dani’s Postpartum Story
“Kat is an amazing doula. Just wonderful, I can't recommend her enough. She is so resourceful and helpful, I would voice a concern about something and she'd give so many options to help, as well as do research for me. It was such a relief to have that kind of help, just amazing. She is also wonderful with my daughter, great at soothing both of our nerves. Kat is the best.”
Crystal’s Experience
Kat was very accommodating to my unique needs postpartum. She has true empathy and care for her clients, and is supportive in whatever way you might need.
