As a postpartum doula, Kate offers extensive experience working with new mothers, babies and families. By offering gentle guidance and an extra pair of hands, she gives mothers the support and space to realize their innate abilities to nurture their babies and families. At the end of every job, Kate has left knowing that she has empowered the family to find its own parenting style and a sense of balance within their homes. Having spent much of her childhood at her family's hospital in Haiti, Kate learned at an early age the immeasurable gift of community and service, and feels fortunate that she is able to incorporate these values in her own work today. Kate enjoys hiking, yoga and being outdoors with her family. She is the mother of three lively children.
