Hi, I'm Katy!
I've been inspired by labor and birth for most of my life. Living through (or maybe more accurately: stumbling through) my own perinatal season launched me into birthwork in 2022. With each family I support, my passion for this space explodes even more, and I've come to adopt these beliefs as centrtal to my approach:
Each Journey is Unique
In my child-bearing era, I lived through three vastly different births - an emergency C-section, a successful VBAC, and an empowering CBAC. Between them, I faced postpartum anxiety, feeding journeys both challenging and easeful, and secondary infertility. I don't know what your journey looks like (yet!), but I do know you deserve the experience that feels the best for you.
Values Matter
Labor and birth (and parenthood, really!) are unpredictable by nature. However, if we can ground ourself in how we want to feel through our experiences (present, empowered, confident. etc.), we can make values-based decisions on our journey. When we act from our values, we can let go
of controlling specific outcomes and create positive experiences through holding onto our sense of control.
Spaciousness is key
In this season, bodies need space to grow and birth babies. Birthers and their partners need space to make informed decisions, connect with each other and their baby, and sometimes just to take in the massive transition! Whether we work together prenatally, through labor, or through immediate postpartum, my goal is to create and hold the space you need to thrive on this journey.
