I was able to have such a beautiful birth experience thanks to Kat! She has such a warm and kind personality. She brought a calming energy to my birth which was just what I needed... Her reassurance, along with my partner’s, helped me to feel empowered. They gave me the confidence I needed to listen to my body, and I was able to follow through with my plan of having a natural birth. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone who is looking for a doula and use her again for any possible future pregnancies of my own.

Kat was amazing! She helped me significantly throughout my whole journey. I was able to have my dream birth experience thanks to her. She is a wealth of knowledge and was a great advocate for me .

-Anna B.

Highly highly recommend! The level of physical and mental support Kat provided my partner and myself, I don’t know where to begin.. As a first time parent, she provided a lot of guidance throughout my pregnancy and helped my partner and I prepare for what to expect pre and postpartum. Kat is amazing at what she does. She’s attentive, empathetic, and a joy to be around!

-Parisa L.

I cannot recommend Kat as a doula enough. Each step of the way, she gave the most incredible advice, encouragement and guidance. I was able to get the reassurance throughout pregnancy that I was doing all the right things and she was also able to help us really focus our birth plan and determine what was important to us and how to advocate for ourselves. Not only is Kat extremely knowledgeable and professional but she is such a delight to be around. She is now a part of our chosen family and we could not have asked for a better person to have with us at the birth of our first child.

I got the exact birth experience I wanted and pictures to prove it ;) I found Kat through a class she was hosting and instantly knew she was the perfect fit for me after interviewing half a dozen doulas. Her mindset around the words we use in labor was so important to me. Our words are powerful!

I felt so confident knowing she understood exactly what I wanted for myself and my baby without any judgement. I love that she kept reminding me this is MY experience too not just for the baby. I felt so empowered, seen, heard, and supported before during and after labor. This 3rd birth experience was extremely healing, I love talking about it to everyone “I got to do it my way this time”.

I admire the relationship Kat has with the hospital staff. They truly worked so well together. I could tell the staff trusted and respected her. She was so great at knowing what words I needed to hear, the counter pressure points, and when to get the midwife.

I am forever grateful for Kat’s knowledge, support, and intuition on this special day I brought my baby into this world. The pictures she captured are images I look back on frequently with a joyful heart.

Our experience with Kat is one we are truly so grateful for. As first-time parents, we were unsure if we needed a doula or not. After taking a birth class, we realized the support would be invaluable. We were navigating being an LGBTQ+ couple, dealing with the timing of our baby’s due date being Christmas, and searching for a doula at 30+ weeks pregnant—so the pressure to find someone we trusted was real.

Kat was highly recommended to us, and from our very first meeting, we knew we wanted her to support us throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She was incredibly responsive to our needs, listened carefully to our concerns, and provided so much education and reassurance during the final weeks of my pregnancy.

When I went into labor on Christmas Eve, Kat’s support was nothing short of amazing. She was responsive, talking us through my symptoms and helping us understand what was happening. My labor progressed quickly, and even though Kat was an hour away, she arrived at the birth center in record time.

Unfortunately, after some concerning high blood pressure readings, we had to transfer to a hospital, which was a difficult emotional moment for us since it was something we had hoped to avoid. However, Kat was an incredible advocate for us at the hospital. She made sure I was able to eat and drink during labor, kept the lights low to create a calm environment, and helped me labor in different positions—even with the epidural.

We honestly feel empowered by our birth story, even though it’s not what we originally planned. It’s hard to say we would have felt that way had we not had Kat’s support. Her presence, advocacy, and guidance gave us the strength to navigate a birth experience that, despite the unexpected turns, felt informed, positive, and truly ours.

We are so thankful for Kat’s unwavering support, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who is not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly compassionate and dedicated to ensuring you feel heard and empowered throughout your journey.

-Julia K.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Kat. She ensured I had the birth that I wanted every step of the way. Her presence was calming and comforting.
I know that I would not have had the same experience without her! That you, Kat!

-Lyssa G.

Without a doubt, hiring Kat to be our doula was one of the best decisions we made for our birth. After a difficult delivery and recovery with our first we decided to do what we should have done the first time around and hire a doula. After interviewing three different ones, Kat’s holistic and data informed answers, along with a clear passion for her work made her a clear fit for what we were looking for in a doula. When I had to be unexpectedly induced, Kat stood by us, prepared us with our options, and helped labor progress so I could achieve my birth goals even with the shift in my birth plan. Her presence allowed for my husband to support me during labor, delivery, and the first few hours after delivery in a very different way than our first baby. I authentically believe that labor and delivery would not have gone so smoothly without her at our side. A bonus was she took beautiful pictures during delivery that we’ll cherish forever. 15/10 recommend hiring Kat, you won’t regret it!

I recently gave birth to our third child, and I was so lucky to have Kat by my side before, during, and after delivery! She is extremely knowledgeable, warm, and professional. Kat asked great questions to really get to know what my ideal birth looked like during our prenatal appointments and was such a strong advocate for me during delivery. I truly believe she was a HUGE part of me having such a positive birth story! It was very comforting to have time with her in my early postpartum days as well. I would highly recommend working with Kat to any expecting parents!

Kat was an essential part of my pregnancy and postpartum journey. Her knowledge (and humor) kept me sane while I endured physical and emotional changes and challenges as a first time mother. She was extremely patient, trustworthy and a GREAT listener. Her advice and feedback were tailored to our families needs. Having Kat present during my post-birth experience is a memory I will cherish with deep gratitude. I highly recommend Kat as a full spectrum doula for any and all expecting families! 

-Natalie S.

Kat is supportive, compassionate, intuitive, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. She was an invaluable part of our postpartum journey and taught us so much. She was exactly what we needed in order to feel empowered as new parents.

Lauren B.

Kat was very accommodating to my unique needs postpartum. She has true empathy and care for her clients, and is supportive in whatever way you might need.

-Crystal B.

I cannot recommend Kat enough. She was so incredibly helpful and supportive in so many ways. And my son absolutely adored her. I'll always appreciate her supporting me on the new road of motherhood which can be nerve wracking and emotional. Kat was full of knowledge and encouragement. She made sure I was taking care of myself. I always looked forward to days she was gonna be there because I knew I could confidently get the care my son and I needed. Whether it was support breast feeding, getting some rest or self cares, support with house chores or even meal planning. Kat was so on board with whatever we needed. And was even available by text ot phone at times I was worried about something completely normal that babies do. Kat would take our son on walks, sing to him, even do his mouth exercises with him since he had a tongue/lip tie. And my partner could go back to work knowing our son and I had some extra support. Overall I can't recommend Kat more! And we are so thankful she was part of our family's journey.

-Kendra B.

Kat is an amazing doula. Just wonderful, I can't recommend her enough. She is so resourceful and helpful, I would voice a concern about something and she'd give so many options to help, as well as do research for me. It was such a relief to have that kind of help, just amazing. She is also wonderful with my daughter, great at soothing both of our nerves. Kat is the best.

-Dani W.

This gal of a singing doula, close family friend, it got so personal but we couldn’t have asked for a better doula to get us through being in the NICU at the U of M Children’s Masonic Hospital for about a month, even after being home, she gave us all the tips & we are forever grateful of her service til this day! Definitely recommend her for your doula, yours truly, the Dorris’s.

-Ellie H.

I highly recommend Kat! As a first time parent, her Tidal Waves class provided useful information and helped get me into positive mindset for labor. My husband and I also did in-home birth coaching with Kat, which further provided education and confidence, through one-one-one support. My partner was given knowledge and tools for supporting me both during labor and postpartum. I felt heard and prepared. She's such a wonderful presence! I'm so grateful for her services during this monumental experience.

-Kelly M.

I loved this class! Kat was not only knowledgeable about the content she covered, but you could feel the passion she has for this field through her delivery. The class offered numerous teaching methods, from educational power point slides, to interactive exercises, to informational hand outs-so this class is perfect for any learning style! It was a great course for my partner and I to connect, and learn together. Would highly recommend!
