Transition



It's finally raining and I sense the Fall, and hopefully cooler weather, is coming soon. My nursing school classes will start and I will continue my regular day job from 9-5 at NYU Langone Medical Center. Potential clients should note that I will be taking very few births during the 2009-2010 academic year. However, I hope to be very active again during the summer of 2010. Thank you for your understanding and I wish you all happy and healthy births.

Here Comes Oliver!


A warm welcome to baby Oliver! He was born swiftly and safely without complication or medication. Mom and Dad were so pleased to have had the natural birth they always wanted.

William Christopher


Well my oh my, at 41 weeks this little boy was ready to rocket on out into the world. After giving his momma many days of prelabor contractions he decided she could use a break. Her water broke on Friday afternoon, we arrived at the hospital at 7:30 PM and Liam was born without complication or medication at 9:50 PM the same night. He sure knows how to make an entrance! I was blessed to have been a part of this family's first birth experience and now am just over the moon for their new addition.

Testimonial

Posted on 2/14/2008, but only just discovered today. It was a true blessing to uncover such heartfelt support for the work that I do.

"...Katherine...is great at what she does and has incredible passion [for] being a doula. She was our doula for our daughter's birth in August [2007]. I can't imagine not having had her in the room with me, she made me feel safe and kept me believing that I was made to give birth, that I could do it. I believe it is because of her that I was able to have an unmedicated birth..."
