Hi, I'm Katy.
I'm a Simkin Center trained birth doula attending hospital, birth center, and home births. Trained in Spinning Babies. Queer and affirming of all birthing people and families. West Seattle-based.
Having a baby? Let's chat. You can email me with questions or to schedule an interview at doulakatyc@gmail.com
What to expect
Making your own choices about birth is empowering. I am here to listen, notice, and respond. I offer compassionate, evidence-based emotional, physical, and informational support that is judgement-free. I will support your collaborative communication and self-advocacy with your medical team. I am not here to tell you what to do or to speak for you.
I can help you:
-Make a birth plan and newborn plan
-Set expectations for the range of possible outcomes
-Labor more comfortably and efficiently​
-Have an empowering planned or unplanned belly birth
-Support infant feeding
-Connect to community resources
I am queer, nonbinary, and hypermobile. I use she and they pronouns. I would love to bring my lived experience to your birth journey.
