Hello,

I'm Kaitlyn!

I'm here to offer you balance, comfort, and the support you deserve. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

My Journey to Becoming a Doula:

My journey into Doula work began with a profoundly personal experience. I found myself in the delivery room for someone very close to me. In that moment, as I saw the strength, vulnerability, and sheer determination of the birthing person, something within me shifted. It was then that I realized my calling: to stand beside and support all women during one of the most significant days of their lives. That experience ignited a fire within me, propelling me towards the path of becoming a Doula. I knew that I wanted to be a guiding light for individuals and families, offering not only practical assistance but also unwavering emotional support during this sacred journey. Each birth I attend is a testament to the profound impact that one person's presence and support can have.

Experience and Credentials:

This credential demonstrates my commitment to providing comprehensive education to empower individuals and families throughout their pregnancy journey.

Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula: As a certified Birth Doula, I offer continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to individuals during labour and childbirth.

My expertise in life coaching enables me to help clients set and achieve goals, overcome obstacles, and cultivate resilience during periods of change and transformation.

Collectively, my credentials as a Certified Childbirth Educator, Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, Certified Infant and Pregnancy Loss Doula, and Certified Life Coach demonstrate my comprehensive training, expertise, and dedication to supporting individuals and families throughout every stage of their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum journey.
