About me

Hi! I'm Kris (she/they), a full time Doula and a Reproductive and Sexual Health Educator! As a doula, I work directly with families to make informed decisions around their birthing experience, advocating for themselves, and have a realistic approach to parenthood immediately postpartum. Working with a range of families in the DMV area ranging from single parents, LGBTQ families, and families with multiples. From my perspective, birth is the end of sex. My range of educating on sex, pleasure, reproductive health and birth allows me to walk with people for all those experiences in life.
