Doula work found Kristen after her own pregnancy and birth journey. She knows how surprising and sometimes frightening bringing a new life into this world can be and wants to help guide expecting parents on thier path. With a background in theatre, psychology, and coaching, she has an acute understanding of how the body and mind’s relaxed state promotes positive outcomes. Her goal is to work with you and your medical team to make your birth a positive experience and a treasured memory. She is currently offering her birth doula services to expecting parents.

When she is not at a birth, she can be found pinned to the couch under her dog, cat, and young son.

  • "From day 1, Kristen was with us to educate, support, prepare and advocate for me AND my partner, young child and infant. We had a high-risk pregnancy and a lot of concerns about communications with the medical teamsShe has a caring touch, a grounding and gentle presence, and all the know-how necessary to make everything go as smoothly as possible.”

  • “From first communication through our postpartum visit, I felt supported by Kristen. I had a lot of complications during and after labor, and she was by our side constantly looking for the best way to support both me and my husband. Her manual pain management techniques were helpful during my contractions and, as my induction continued to (not) progress, she kept me calm as it became clear we were heading into a C-section. Kristen's broad experience with different types of labor and delivery made her a vast resource that helped me stay grounded and empowered throughout the experience.”
