About me
Greetings! I'm Catherine, a dedicated Lactation Consultant, Birthing, and Postpartum Doula based in the serene surroundings of Nevada City, CA. My journey began in outdoor education, specializing in working with children and emphasizing positive psychology. Venturing into the birthing realm ignited my passion, driven by the uniqueness of every birth and family I encounter. In my practice, I prioritize empowering you and your partner through informed discussions to shape and advocate for your personalized goals. I foster a judgment-free, supportive environment throughout the delivery, providing unwavering assistance at every phase. During the crucial weeks and months of postpartum recovery, my aim is multifaceted. From aiding with breastfeeding to organizing and tidying your home, caring for other children in the household, supporting meal preparation, and facilitating your rest and self-care, I'm dedicated to your holistic well-being. Understanding that support manifests differently for each individual, I'm committed to tailoring a bespoke plan that resonates with your unique requirements. My goal is to ensure you feel comprehensively supported on your journey. I'm eagerly anticipating our meeting and the opportunity to forge a meaningful connection with you. Wishing you all the best, and sending abundant love your way! Warmly, Catherine :)

Service introduction
As a birthing and postpartum doula, my services revolve around comprehensive support tailored to your unique needs during the transformative phases of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. During pregnancy, I provide informed guidance, empowering you and your partner to create a personalized birth plan through thoughtful dialogue and education. During labor, I offer continuous emotional and physical support, ensuring a nurturing and judgment-free environment for your birthing experience. In the postpartum phase, I extend practical assistance, from breastfeeding support to household organization and caring for other children, enabling you to focus on recovery and self-care. My goal is to craft an individualized approach for each family, prioritizing your comfort, confidence, and well-being throughout this incredible journey into parenthood.
Packages
Birth and Labor Package
Prenatal Consultation:
We'll embark on this journey with an initial meeting to get to know each other and discuss your birth preferences, concerns, and any questions you might have. This first meeting will come at no cost to you. If working together in the future works for both of us, a deposit will be necessary to lock in your dates.
Continuous Availability:
I am available for unlimited phone, email, and text support from the moment of our agreement. I'll be here to address your queries, provide reassurance, and offer guidance throughout your pregnancy until the arrival of your little one.
In-Person Support:
As your due date approaches, I'll be available for two in-person support meetings. Together, we'll create a personalized birth plan that aligns with your values and desires for your birthing experience. I'll join you at your chosen birthing location—whether at home, a birth center, or a hospital—and provide continuous physical and emotional support throughout labor, aiding with comfort measures, positioning, and advocating for your birth preferences.
Post-Birth Follow-Up:
Following the birth, I'll stay for a few hours to ensure you and your family are settled and comfortable. We'll schedule a postpartum visit within the first week after birth to debrief, address any questions, and offer support as you transition into parenthood.
Additional Resources:
You'll receive access to a curated list of resources, including reputable articles, books, and local services that may be beneficial for your postpartum recovery and early parenting journey.
