Fee Details

I’m a professionally trained doula through Community Aware Birthworkers, with further training in craniosacral therapy, trauma-informed care, bereavement support, and pregnancy after loss. I’m passionate about providing support that is encouraging and empowering, and recognize the honor of being welcomed into your birth space. I’m a mother of four, and my own births influence my dedication to provide grounded, affirming support. I partner together with Lisa Fletcher of Seven Gates Birth, and together we hope families feel our deep care and desire to support your hopes and your voice in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Our birth package includes a complimentary interview, 2 prenatal visits, 2 postpartum visits, 24/7 on-call support, and continuous physical and emotional support throughout your labor and birth. I am with you during active labor, birth, and afterward for support with bonding, feeding, and photos as desired. Reach out with any questions, including fee flexibility.

Katie is an amazing doula! It was so valuable to have Katie present through labor and the birth of our daughter. Katie provided a lovely, shepherding presence. She helped me to understand my experience, supported me in coping, and provided encouragement. She was also able to sense as things progressed in labor, communicated these observations to the care team, and supported me in processing choices during labor. Katie also brings such care and compassion regarding pregnancy after loss; she was such a lovely witness to our experience and story. We're so glad we found Katie!

Katie was a calm and reassuring presence at the birth of our first baby. She stayed by my side throughout an unexpectedly long labor and delivery, gently encouraging me along the way.  She was the calm voice I listened for when I began to get anxious and tired.  She seemed to know just what I needed at just the right time, and was able to provide support for my husband during this process as well.  I really appreciate all that Katie did for us to make the birth of our baby girl a positive and calm experience. I highly recommend Katie!
