Post a testimonial for Katie Koelewyn
4/28/2025
Katie is so kind, caring, and easy to talk to. She knew just what was needed and encouraged me to take care of myself. Getting some much needed rest while our baby was in such capable hands made a world of difference. She offered suggestions and support to help maximize sleep while she managed all the details and logged feedings, changes, etc. Our newest little one peacefully enjoyed his snuggles with her, and our toddler also instantly connected with her.
Katie has many connections in the field and is adept at providing resources and any additional desired supports. She is professional, relatable, warm, and responsive. She continues to check in to see how our family is adjusting to its growth. Her passion and skill for supporting families is evident in all she does. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

When my husband and I welcomed our second child, we hired Katie for both overnight and daytime doula care, and it was one of the best decisions we made. From the very start, Katie's warmth and kindness made us feel at ease as she cared for our baby, allowing us much-needed rest. Her confidence and insightful tips were invaluable, and she seamlessly adapted to our preferred routines.
Katie consistently went above and beyond our expectations—not only did she care for our baby, but she also treated us with breakfast in bed and delicious desserts. She managed our entire family's laundry and dishes during every visit, which was a tremendous help.
Her daytime visits were equally beneficial. I cherished our conversations, which were a welcome change after spending several isolated days with the baby in those early weeks. Katie also helped us balance our time between our newborn and toddler, ensuring our older child received plenty of attention and one-on-one time.
Katie quickly became a cherished part of our family, and we are delighted to now call her a friend. I wholeheartedly recommend Katie for doula services!

Our family was lucky enough to match with Katie as our doula in the spring of 2025. Katie helped our family adjust to a family of 5 (older boys 6 and 4) after I had an unexpected emergency c-section with our daughter. Katie's help in the evenings and overnights was invaluable for my recovery from surgery, as well as mental and emotional transition for the whole family. Not only did Katie take care of our daughter at night so we could get more sleep and be rested, she picked up all kinds of slack around the house including cleaning and laundry. She did this often without being asked, knowing what was needed without needing to be told. Katie loves newborns!! She's a pro, as a mother of 5 girls, she knows what she's doing. I would recommend Katie as a doula to anyone, especially families in need of overnight support and support with newborn care.

Katie is an excellent doula and I would recommend her to anyone looking for caring, highly competent infant care and support for new moms and dads. I feel very comfortable leaving my newborn with Katie overnight. She is attentive to his needs, regularly asks questions and helps us troubleshoot possible issues she identifies (such as a new rash, increased spit up, sleep issues). She is committed to getting to know your family dynamic and building a relationship with the parents and child. Katie has a holistic view of her role and often sends me articles about newborn care or shares ideas that might be useful that she's picked up from other doulas. She's very good at keeping our baby calm, reading his cues, and providing loving care throughout the night.

Katie has been a welcome addition to our family's postpartum journey. Available at a moments notice, she is polite, professional and has a very comforting demeanor. As a first time mom, letting the reigns go can be scary, but when she told us she has 5 children of her own, I felt more at ease. She truly "moms the mom", and helped not only with triple feeding our newborn son, but with housekeeping, laundry, cooking, and care.
