As first-time parents without a local support system, hiring Kate as our postpartum doula was one of the best decisions we made. From the very first day, her warm, kind, and calming presence instantly put our minds at ease during what can be an overwhelming transition. Kate is incredibly knowledgeable and informative, and she taught us so much about caring for our baby—always in a way that felt supportive and never judgmental.
Over the first couple of months of our son’s life, Kate truly felt like a member of our family. She guided us through early parenthood with compassion and confidence, helping us navigate everything from soothing our baby and changing diapers to cooking delicious meals and simply being a steady shoulder to lean on. Thanks to her, we now feel equipped an confident as parents, and we know we can always rely on Kate as a trusted helping hand.
We 100% recommend Kate to any parents, especially first-timers. Thank you, Kate!
