“You helped us so graciously during an incredibly tender time. Whenever you leave after a day (or night!) with us, you leave us all feeling more confident and optimistic. You are an amazing, listener and helped us think through so many complicated moments.”

“Katherine was such a blessing to our family. I had pre-term labor, so we didn't get to meet with her the usual number of times before the birth, but it wasn't an issue. She already had such an inviting and supportive presence, it was easy to be comfortable with her right away. She immediately made room in her schedule for the early arrival of our daughter. Katherine was my rock through labor - helping to guide and support me in whatever ways I needed. After the birth, she was so helpful in making sure I was set up for baby, fed, and well-hydrated during her visits. The emotional support she provided was invaluable. We used her for postpartum doula support as well. She quickly became a close family friend and was exceptionally good with our 3-year-old as he navigated life as a sibling. We miss her dearly.”

“Katherine was an incredible support for our family postpartum. She always showed up with such a warm and calming demeanor, checking in on how we were doing, never rushing anything, and really taking time to get to know us and what would contribute to us feeling supported and nourished. I valued her perspective and knowledge of postpartum, newborns, and parenting, and felt like she was someone we could talk to without feeling judged. She was thoughtful and intentional in her support for us each day she came. We are so grateful we were referred to her by our midwife! Having Katherine as our postpartum doula made such a difference and I know she played a big part in us all feeling more rested, nourished, and cared for during this special time. Also she makes amazing snacks to stock the fridge!!”

“I really enjoy having Katherine in my home because she is an attentive listener and gives emotional support. It was good to have another person here besides my husband to teach baby it’s safe to be held and fed by others. Reassurance that I’m a good mom is motivating when I feel the effort it takes to keep baby happy. Katherine made me realize there’s no certain timeline for baby and parent progress, take your time learn what works.”

“A good night’s sleep completely changed our family’s experience of the newborn phase. Being a first time mom was stressful, but the lack of sleep felt debilitating. Having Katherine enter our home was the best decision we made to ensure that our family got the support we needed to thrive during such a major life transition. Her calm and supportive presence completely shifted the energy, and just the idea that she’d be coming in the next few days would help to relieve some of the anxiety and stress that the exhaustion of those early days can cause. She truly felt like one of our tribe instantly, and the additional support made all the difference. And in addition to the rest we were able to get while she was with us, Katherine took time to check in with us about how the week went and help with little tasks like doing the dishes so we woke up to a clean kitchen. I cannot recommend her doula services enough, and we feel so lucky to have had her with us.”

“Inviting Katherine into our home and our lives was the best decision we could have made. Her presence was an absolute gift to our family during the dizzying first few weeks postpartum. Not only did she allow us sleep and sanity, Katherine offered experienced wisdom, practical support, a tremendous level of care and compassion, brightness and levity, and a wide open heart. We trusted Katherine from the moment we met her and our newborn son clearly felt the same. We are forever grateful for her nourishing love and care.”

“Katherine was a lifesaver as we entered into our postpartum world with our newborn and 2.5 year old son. On night one home from the hospital she offered her shoulder to cry on as we struggled immediately with our toddler throughout the entire night. From then on, she was just everything we needed to get into our groove. While mainly there to offer us as much sleep as possible, she did that and more. From organizing our kitchen workspace, preparing breakfast and coffees, lactation snacks, pill and water reminders, suggesting helpful tips on all things newborn, not to mention how wonderful she was with our toddler. The bond they built was so awesome to watch. We hated seeing her go (we held on to her for 10 weeks), and definitely consider her a part of our extended family. We will always look back on our time with her with such fondness! See you later, alligator!”

“Thank you, Katherine, for helping our family through the first few months after our son’s birth. Your kindness, sense of humor, and compassion-centered expertise helped us immensely at this precious but stressful time. Each week you met all three of us where we were at and tailored your ideas to our child’s development and our family’s changing postpartum needs. With your help, we are a little more rested and parenting with a little less stress and a little more happiness. We looked forward to every night you spent caring for our family, and can’t thank you enough for your help at such a tender moment in our lives.”

Martha - Goleta, CA

“We had complete trust and confidence that our newborn was safe and in good loving hands. It was hard to need help from someone who initially was a complete stranger. But Katherine felt like family almost instantly.”

Greg - Hollywood Hills, CA

“Katherine was such a dream. She was very intuitive and attentive to both myself and my baby. I felt comfortable very quickly with her as did my son. Such a treat to have her loving helping hands around. Would highly recommend.”
