Kate, Certified Postpartum Doula, Lactation Counselor, & Vegetarian Chef
Hi, I’m Kate, postpartum doula and mama of two boys. In addition to being a certified postpartum doula, I am also a trained whole foods chef. I have a great deal of knowledge about healing foods and postpartum and breastfeeding nutrition and diet. I am also a certified lactation consultant.
I have a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and have worked as an elementary school art teacher. My undergrad training is in the fine arts and art therapy. In addition, I have worked for many years as a nanny. This has all been put to good use as a postpartum doula.
I am a helping person by nature and love making people feel comfortable, warm, and cared for. I am empathetic and friendly and my experience as both an art therapist and teacher has given me an understanding of how to care for a mother and her family postpartum. I will feed you, support you with breastfeeding, listen to you, organize and tidy for you, and support you and your family in your journey!
As your doula, I will lend emotional and practical support, cook you delicious vegetarian meals and snacks, offer housekeeping and organizing, help with your other kids, run errands for you, and be there for you.
