My massage therapist referred me to Kristen so I had her during the last half of my pregnancy. From the moment we connected, she was incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to listen. She made sure to understand exactly what I wanted and helped me feel empowered and confident in my decisions. Her calm presence and thoughtful guidance made a world of difference during a time that could have felt overwhelming. I truly felt supported every step of the way, and I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a compassionate, understanding doula who prioritizes your needs and wishes.

Kristen was truly a lifesaver during one of the most challenging times of my life. After a difficult delivery, I often found myself caring for my baby alone while my husband was away for work or working nights. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and struggling to recover.

Kristen’s kindness, care, and support made all the difference. Not only did she give me the opportunity to rest and focus on my recovery, but just knowing she was there if I needed help brought me so much peace of mind.

I’m so grateful for her help—it truly made all the difference.
