KIND WORDS

“We had our son during the pandemic and had very few resources to help us as new parents. I had no idea how challenging breastfeeding was going to be, and when I found Kate, I immediately felt so supported by her wealth of information, tools, and care that was just a phone call, video, or email away when I needed it. She was incredibly responsive, flexible, thorough, and very easy to talk to. She helped me trust my intuition as a mom while providing guidance to make breastfeeding easier and a good experience for me and my son.”

“Thank you so much for your strong, steady support and guidance through our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.  You were a lifesaver during our nursing challenges, and I’ll never forget it.  Thanks for always being responsive, kind, and quick to help.”

— EF

“One of the greatest sources of strength while giving birth was knowing that I had Kate by my side. Her solid understanding of research - based practices combined with her spirit of confidence and faith in my abilities gave me the courage and determination I needed to have a successful and beautiful birthing experience. Thank you, Kate! Your assistance and care will never be forgotten.” 

— Andrea W.

“Thank you so much for all your care and help bringing our little girl into the world.  We are so lucky to have had your love and care.”

— KH

“I literally don’t think either my husband or I could have made it through our first home birth without Kate by our side. Our entire duration of labor was active, with no breaks between contractions – Kate remained calm, attentive, and intuitive at discerning exactly what I needed at every moment. I felt incredibly comfortable in her presence, enduring some of the most unexpected challenges (back pain, vomiting) and welcome celebrations (a perfect water birth “in the caul” and the smoothie she lovingly made for me to refuel afterwards!). Kate helped create an extraordinary birthing experience. I am ever grateful for her.” 

— Jamie T.

“Thank you for being a part of my birth team and helping me get the birth I wanted.” 

— JK

“From the moment my husband and I met Kate to talk about our birth day dreams, I knew that as my doula she had the welfare of my baby and me in mind.  When I went into labor, she was the first to arrive and took care of my needs throughout my 12 hour active labor, always making sure that I was hydrated and comfortable.  She then supported us as we settled into life with a newborn and has continued to be a sounding board on my female health for the past 7 years as a knowledgeable and caring practitioner.” 

— Beth B.

“I feel SO lucky to have been connected with Kate as a lactation consultant after having my twins!  She drove through a massive snow storm to come to our house the day after we got home from the hospital and was so incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable.  She took lots of time to work with the three of us :) and is a huge reason I was and still am able to breastfeed my twins.  She did several in person visits but also responded right away to any questions or concerns I had by email which was a HUGE support as I navigated breastfeeding twins!  She is thorough and thoughtful in all her responses...I really can't thank her enough!” 

— Molly

“From the moment we connected with Kate to be our doula, we received support.  From her lactation class, to sending us helpful articles, podcasts, and videos.  I had back labor for 55 hours and she came to the house to coach and guide us through different options for unmedicated pain relief before going to the hospital.  She was instrumental throughout our labor especially at the hospital as she provided guidance when we were presented with options around pain relief, providing a natural and holistic view, but also understanding the medical reasoning behind the various options.”   

— Stephanie (Mom)

“Kate shared encouraging and comforting words at all parts of the process and has a great ability to educate in a relatable and effective way. I felt empowered to actively participate in providing support to Stephanie and can't imagine not having Kate there.  She worked seamlessly as a member of the delivery team with doctors and nurses whom she had never met before.”
