“As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to have a doula present for my birth. A close friend referred to me to her doula, Kat. As a first time expectant mom, I did not know what to expect for my pregnancy or birth. Kat was with us every step of the way. As soon as I went into labor Kat was guiding me and my husband through every part of the journey. My goal was to have an unmedicated birth, and Kat’s presence truly made that goal a reality.

In addition to being an essential part of my birth, she made this experience extra special for my husband by keeping him in the loop with every step of the way. She was equally as important for him as she was for me.

Kat is an incredible doula and I cannot imagine what my birth story would have looked like without her.”

“We were looking for a doula earlier on our pregnancy, did the whole research and read reviews and even took a break from searching but just could not find THE one that we could vibe or felt comfortable with. I mean you’re looking for someone to trust and to become part of your pregnancy, birthing, and your own rebirthing journey. We were glad to have come across cafe of life which is where we met Dr. Kat, our chiropractic doula! I felt cared for but not overpowered. I appreciated how hands on she is and how she was not only there for me but also my partner. When we felt unsure of things, she made sure we had other options to decide what we wanted. She advocated to the most extent for us when we were caught up in our own chaos and stress of forgetting our birth plan due to our unexpected early arrival of our twins. Dr. Kat was so helpful before, during, and after pregnancy/postpartum, she even took the time to help find OBs when we were in search of a new one before hiring her on. I didn’t expect the double whammy, a vaginal birth and c-section but for 24 hours she did not leave our side until my little family were all together. Having a calm, helpful, and supportive doula that held a safe space for us during our first pregnancy made us feel at ease.”

“I couldn’t be happier the world brought Kat to us when we needed her most. First, as my chiropractor which helped me function from months 3-9 for my pregnancy, and then as our doula. I felt so close to her throughout my pregnancy and was able to reach out and talk to her about anything. As we were still trying to decide where and how I wanted to birth, she never made me feel any pressure to pick a certain way. She just supported us with evidence and resources and care the whole time. It turned out that my little boy was breech and didn’t want to flip, so we had to come to terms with having a c section. Kat made sure we connected to review my c section birth plan, talk through everything that would happen, help us make a list of questions for my providers, and just make sure we were able to feel as comfortable and empowered as possible. On the day my contractions started, Kat met us at the hospital and supported as much as she could. She checked in before the procedure and met us as soon as possible after. She helped with latch, did an oral evaluation of our babe and a little adjustment. She was also just so supportive and warm. We truly loved having her help throughout my pregnancy and sons birth. We love Kat and if we choose to have another babe, she will be the first one we call to set up our chiro and doula care!”

“Kat was essential throughout pregnancy and especially in labor.

She checked in with me regularly and exceeded my expectations with the amount of support, comfort, and reassurance she provided.

When we got to the hospital, she helped me stay so calm with a foot rub- she knew that hospitals freak me out and I was afraid of labor stalling. Kat held counter pressure on my hips for every single contraction, and got into whatever position she needed to make it happen. She also helped me into various positions to keep things moving along.

Kat snapped a few photos of our first few moments together after our daughter was born. I’m forever thankful for the extra thoughtfulness to do that for us.

Our nurse even said that Kat was the best doula she has seen.

There are so many other things that Kat did and said to support us. I am eternally grateful.”

“If you get the opportunity to have Kat at your birth- do it!!!! I can’t recommend nailing her down fast enough! I was hesitant on even getting a doula because I didn’t want it to be awkward, but it ended up being the best decision we made for our family. She helped us achieve our goal of having an unmedicated, vaginal birth, and I’m so thankful I found her! Our baby's birth was perfect- it went according to plan, and having Kat there to support us was absolutely crucial. She was a calm, relaxed, confident presence was so helpful when contractions got intense. She had great coping tools and used spinning babies to get our baby ready to come into the world. After the birth she checked up on how we were doing, offering us support however we needed- even brought over a home cooked meal and adjusted our entire family since she’s also chiropractor 😍 She really helped ease all my fears and made me feel so confident going into labor. My husband and I could not recommend Kat more whole-heartedly for families looking for a strong, supportive, multi-talented doula to help them through the unpredictable journey of birth.”

“Kat was an absolute gift and blessing to our family. She was there for us every step of the way. As our doula, chiropractor and now friend, she made us feel so loved, supported and cared for. Before my baby arrived, Kat was there to answer any questions we had and was intentional to check in often to see how we were doing. During the birth, she was everything I needed and more - peaceful, strong, encouraging and discerning. She knew just what to do when and helped guide me through each stage of labor. She’s someone I could trust and allow in to the most vulnerable and special moment of my life. After the birth, her compassion and love didn’t stop. She continued to reach out and visit postpartum, which meant the world to my husband and I. In closing, Kat is humble, gentle and kind hearted. She’s a professional and expert in her field. Kat is experienced, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about her clients. She has your best interest in mind. I am beyond grateful for her and I can’t imagine going through my first birth without her. ”

"Kat was such an integral part to our entire journey as first time parents. She schedules prenatal appointments where she will spend quality time getting to know you and your family, and makes sure your needs are met. I seriously could not have done this without her. She provided me with emotional and physical support during labor that allowed for me to have the natural birth I have dreamed about. She also made sure my husband felt supported throughout the entire process as well. Also, she was able to adjust me during labor, which made such a difference in labor progressing, and our newborn shortly after birth which was a game changer! Such valuable services that we are incredibly grateful for. We love Kat and would highly recommend to anyone looking for loving, knowledgeable and supportive care."

"Thank you so much for everything you did to help make Zane's birth a beautiful one. You were there for my emotional break downs, sacrum pain, emergency room care and more. I totally couldn't have done it without you. I am blessed to have had you as my doula and still be able to have you as a mama friend."

“Working with Kat was the best decision in my pregnancy. I was anxious about the pain of labor and delivery and kat being there THROUGHOUT it all was so helpful and comforting. Kat was tehre for me during my pregnancy and postpartum as a listening ear and a wealth of knowledge. "

If you’re in need of the best doula ever Kat is your girl! During my first pregnancy I hired Kat as my doula. I’m so glad that I did because my pregnancy and birth would have been a completely different experience without her. She provided so much support throughout my entire pregnancy whether it was checking in with me consistently, providing me with helpful information, or bringing me yummy donuts postpartum!! During my birth she stayed by my side the entire time adjusting me, helping me breathe through my contractions, she even massaged my back during the really tough contractions. She helped assist me with my body and mind and provided that support me & my partner truly needed. When we were transferred to the hospital Kat continued to be by our side until our beautiful baby boy was born. I am so glad that we made the decision to hire Kat and I recommend her services to anyone who is considering it. You will not be disappointed. She will give you the necessary type of support you didn’t even realize you needed the entire way!!
