About Kristin
Long before I was a birth worker or had my own babies, I was always a "birth junkie". I have spent years learning about the intricacies of birth: hospital birth, home birth, hormones during pregnancy and childbirth, interventions used during labor/delivery, breastfeeding, postpartum care and the spectrum of options available to women. I have been assisting families through this major life transition since 2013 when I became a birth & postpartum doula. Since then, I have supported over 100 births and have had two babies of my own. If there is one thing I have learned, it is that birth is dynamic - every birth is different! You never know what your experience will be until you're in that moment. We do all we can to plan and prepare, while also building a strong team to work together in the present moment of birth to ensure you feel safe, respected, and empowered. Click to read more |

What is a Doula?
A birth doula is a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period. Studies have shown that when doulas attend birth, labors are shorter with fewer complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily. Click to read more |

TESTIMONIALS
"Kristin was our birth doula and I cannot say enough amazing things about her! I was hesitant about whether or not I would need/want a doula as I didn't know much about doula services... I can say with absolute confidence it was the best decision I ever made! From the moment I met Kristin I felt a sense of connection and calm. I immediately felt comfortable with her energy and knew she would be the one to guide me through my birth journey.I can honestly say I'm not sure I would have made it through without her! She never left my side during my entire labor..."
