So glad you’re here!

I’m Kristen, I’ve always been drawn to work that connects the body, mind, and heart. I began as a personal trainer in my 20s, became a yoga teacher in 2012, a holistic health coach in 2015, and a lactation consultant in 2023.

Being welcomed into someone’s birth space is an incredible privilege, one I never take lightly. I show up with compassion, without judgment, and with a deep respect for the individuality of every birth story. Because when parents feel held, they’re better able to hold each other and that’s where a strong foundation begins.

When I’m not with clients you’ll find me out in nature hiking with my dog, reading, dancing, enjoying live music, biking, snowboarding, swimming, surfing, and being with my amazing kids!

What It’s Like to Have Me as Your Doula

You’ll never be told what kind of birth you should have, but supported in the one you choose.

I’ve got a tool box full of wisdom from pregnancy, labor, birth, yoga, coaching and life experience.

I hold space for you to trust your instincts and intuition and I honor your birth as the sacred initiation it truly is, no matter what it looks like.

“Hiring Kristen as our doula was the best thing I did for my pregnancy and birth. She made herself available throughout the final few months of my pregnancy via countless texts and phone calls prepared to answer all the wild questions I had about any symptoms or feelings. When I finally went into labor, none of us knew I’d be in it for a whopping 60 hours before my son was in my arms. I could go on and on about all the things she did to help get my son in an optimal position (there were many) but at the end of the day, she was just there for me.  She is amazing and I’d hire her again and again and again.”
