Certifications for Caitlin LaBarge

Like many first-time parents, I was anxious and nervous about giving birth. Caitlin met with my husband and me beforehand and helped prepare us with everything from labor and delivery to what to expect postpartum.
Despite having a low-risk pregnancy, I was diagnosed with preeclampsia in triage on the day of delivery. Things quickly became overwhelming as I needed an emergency C-section and was then considered high risk for postpartum preeclampsia. I felt scared, helpless, and completely out of my depth. In moments like those, I was incredibly grateful to have Caitlin by my side; someone knowledgeable and calm who could help me understand what was happening, make informed decisions, and feel validated in the many emotions I was experiencing.
Her support didn’t end in the hospital. Caitlin continued to check in on me afterward and shared thoughtful resources to help me navigate postpartum anxiety and find additional support. I’m so grateful to have had her in my corner during one of the most vulnerable and intense experiences of my life.

Caitlin was an incredible support during the birth of our first baby and son. From the moment Anala's water broke early on July 23rd, she was there guiding us through every step. Her expertise and calm presence were invaluable, especially as we navigated difficult moments like managing contractions, adjusting positions, and making decisions about our care. Caitlin anticipated our needs before we even knew we had them, and her guidance helped us avoid a C-section and achieve the birth we wanted. We couldn’t have done it without her, and we’re so grateful for her unwavering support.

Caitlin was an incredible doula! From the first time we meet she made sure my husband and I were well informed. When I went into labor almost 6 weeks early she came right to the hospital and supported us through all the unplanned moments and more. Caitlin was kind, thoughtful, and passionate about what she does. Highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to support you and your partner through the beautiful but intimidating process for pregnancy and labor.
