Hello, I’m Katie (she/her)!

I’m a certified doula supporting the greater Austin area. I support birthing persons during their pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period.

I began my journey to birth work when I was pregnant with my daughter (2013). I decided to give birth at a birthing center and had my daughter in the birthing tub. This was the most empowering experience of my life and I was in awe of what I was able to do. The midwives and my support team gave me wonderful care and, two years later, I gave birth to my son at the same birthing center. This all ignited a passion within me to help other birthing persons have access to the evidence-based and compassionate care that they deserve.

In 2020, I looked into many different doula training certification programs and decided upon Doula Trainings International (DTI) as their mission and vision align with my own. I’m a certified Full Spectrum Doula and I started my doula journey with Giving Austin Labor Support (GALS).

In 2021, I joined the ATX Doulas team and in 2023 I became an owner! By joining this team, I've gained invaluable insights into the Austin birth space and its been so energizing to work with people that are as passionate about pregnancy, birth and postpartum as I am. I am always learning from my teammates and am committed to continued education. In 2024, I’ve become a childbirth educator and you will find me teaching our classes. If you’d like to work with us, come chat with us at our next free Meet the Doula event.

I value empathy, inclusion, respect, empowerment, and compassionate care. I am committed to continued education and do my best to stay up to date on evidenced-based information. I will provide this to my clients to ensure they are aware of all of the options available to them. Birthing persons know what is best for them and I am here to support them. Whether you choose a hospital, birthing center or home birth, I will work closely with you and your partner to provide the most positive birth experience possible.

I’m fully vaccinated and can offer in-person and/or virtual support. I’m so excited you are here and can’t wait to speak with you.

Outside of doula work, I enjoy spending time with my family, training my quirky 1 year old Labrador Retriever, entertaining friends, and trying new foods.
