Meet Katie

Katie is a DONA trained labor doula on our team. She provides strong, evidence based and empathetic support in a non-judgmental way and is thoughtful in how she interacts with families. Katie loves working with all families and in all hospitals and home settings. 

Katie chose to become a doula after having a doula at the birth of her first child. She enjoys providing families with the support and confidence that makes them look back at the pregnancy and birth as a positive experience where the parents felt heard, empowered and loved.

Prior to becoming a doula, Katie worked for 6 years as a licensed social worker working with children and families in the foster care system and considers herself trauma-informed and uniquely suited to working with families who may have mental health challenges or anxieties. She has been working with children and families since she was old enough to babysit. She is compassionate and easy to talk to.  Katie loves connecting and relating to first time families and can also relate to new parents (or second time parents) who are anxious about adding a child to their family. 

Katie is the mother to a toddler and preschooler and they both keep her busy and moving when she is not working as a doula. They love to play at parks and the beach and cook together.
