Having Katy is a gift and privilege for any birthing parents, and I'd recommend her services whole-heartedly. There are the typical things you'd expect when working with a doula - education, emotional support, evidence-based knowledge - but it's the intangibles that sets Katy apart. She is kind and thoughtful, and is so generous with her time and support. She is intentional on how she prepares you in the weeks and months leading up to your due date, and equips you with knowledge to build a base of confidence to draw from during labor and birth. Her steadfast resolution to be your advocate, and her unconditional support is absolutely priceless. Our three births were each very different (C-section, VBAC, C-section), and Katy was instrumental and essential to each. Katy remained a true partner and advocated for how we wanted to bring our children into the world.

You can’t put a price tag on Katy if you want someone who can gently educate you, get to know you and your family, and intimately support you in preparing for birth. I hired Katy for my first birth and was so partial to her that when she wasn’t available for my second delivery, I didn’t even bother looking elsewhere! I’m pregnant with my third and am beyond thrilled to get to work with her again. Knowledgeable, experienced, she know her stuff.
