The day you birth your baby is seared in your memory forever.  Birth is a natural biological process and it is a transformational and challenging experience for most women.  A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional  and informational support to a mother and her partner before, during and just after birth. Studies have shown that when doulas attend births, labors are shorter with fewer interventions and less need for pain medication. Babies are often healthier and they breastfeed more easily. Kate is committed to helping women prepare for birth, making sure they are cared for and held in a loving space during this life altering event and supported as they face the early days of mothering.
