About me

Hello, I am a certified Postpartum Doula living in West LA with my husband and two children. We are a British family and we moved over here from London in 2019. We have since created a wonderful new life for ourselves in the LA sunshine. Since becoming a mother myself, I’ve realized I have a nurturing spirit inside me. My goal, as a certified postpartum doula, is to support and educate families through their transition into the 4th trimester, by providing a safe, and empowering space to heal and connect with the new baby.

Having Kate as a postpartum doula was the most incredible experience. Even as a mum of 4, I so appreciated her expertise and encouragement when settling into life with a new baby. And I really truly needed the rest! Knowing I could sleep while she cared for Florence and got the house feeling so tidy and fresh was the greatest gift for a new parent! The sessions with Kate allowed me to have such a positive, calm start to life with the baby. Kate is so kind, cooks delicious food and sees what needs to be done, lifting such a weight off our shoulders!
