Hi, I’m Kathleen
I am a professional birth doula, childbirth educator, and I encapsulate placentas. I recognize that we live, learn and work on the traditional unceded territory of the Syilx/Okanagan people in Kelowna, BC. I acknowledge that I serve families on this land.
have worked in birth for over a decade and a half and my experience in birth includes hundreds of births in all models of care.
I became passionate about supporting the process of the birth after the birth of my first baby. This passion led me to doula support with the desire to offer knowledge and an understanding of choices both during and after birth. My work was really founded on the desire to work with women and families in achieving informed and empowering births as you define it.
Supporting you through maternity, labour & delivery and postpartum
Your birth experience is a memory that you will carry for life and am committed to helping you make it a great memory. The benefits or working with a doula include having someone who is trained in methods and knowledge that can help with developing an empowered birth plan, answer questions for you and for family members and advocate for you.
Doulas also support you during your immediate postpartum with breastfeeding and any infant care questions you may have. I make home visits and support you daily with phone and text check-ins to be sure you have all you need.
I am passionate about supporting women and new families through this amazing journey – in preparation for birth, fully through your birthing time and postpartum. Read more about what my support and working with me looks like. Lets book a time to meet. I look forward to meeting you.
