Looking for comfort and practical support for your transition into early parenthood?
Let me care for you and your sweet babe.
“We are so grateful to Katherine for being there to guide and support us when we were most in need...
Her friendly personality put us at ease and she answered all of our questions while often sensing what we needed before we even asked. ”
Caring for fresh families is a true love of mine. I provide incomparable care, non-judgmental companionship, and professional support. My holistic postpartum care is highly individualized. Whether this is your first child or third, you be well cared for and supported.
I support a limited amount of families at a time. If you are embarking on a parenting journey and you have the foresight to see that you may need some additional support in “your village”, book me early to secure a spot.
Together we can make this tender transition to parenthood a more positive one for the whole family — filled with love, comfort, reassurance, and nourishment.
Newborns take time adjusting to life outside of the womb; parents take time adjusting to caring for newborns! The hormonal shift after having a baby is the biggest shift (in the shortest amount of time) that you will ever experience in your entire lifespan.
You deserve to be cared for during this time. You don’t have to do it alone.
I offer practical support and I also promote healing and relaxation with a variety of wellness offerings. This includes an optional one hour reflexology session at every postpartum care visit.
