Hello! I'm Kathie the doula and here's how I can help:
- Listen to you deeply.
- Hear your heart's desire for your birth.
- Ask questions to make sure I understand you fully.
- Offer education and teaching moments.

- Support you after the birth in ways that fit your vision and comfort level.
WHEN GIVING BIRTH WE BEGIN IN CURIOSITY . . .
What do I need to know to give birth?
How can I create a Safe Environment in any birth location?
How can I meet Unexpected Surprises with Resilience?
How can I plan for Practical Solutions postpartum?
Deeper questions you may be pondering:
What does it mean to tune into my curiosity?
How do I tune into my instinct?
How does fear come into play in birth?
Once you start approaching your body with curiosity rather than with fear, everything shifts. -Bessel Van der Kolk, MD

Birth Story Labyrinth Listening Sessions: In Person or Online
The Birth Story Labyrinth process is designed to help explore any residual feelings you may have from a challenging experience giving birth.
"The bad news is that trauma exists. The good news is, it's not a life-sentence." Dr. Peter A. Levine
A gentle, yet powerful, process to explore challenges that came up during your birth and view them through a unique lens. This process can be helpful in offering:
- access to greater peace of mind;
- as preparation for a subsequent birth;
- as a helpful tool for birth givers and birth workers alike.
Appointments by phone or in person.
Fee: $150 with sliding scale available, no questions asked. I make this process available with all birth packages.
