“We appreciated Kathleen’s class so much. As first time parents we were really looking for a well rounded, good overview of what to expect. Her course gives this to you.The course was fun and 100% valuable For anyone looking for guidance and information to just help you feel more at ease, don’t go anywhere else.”
-Joe“A Better Birth course was wonderful! It was personal and professional. My partner and I learned a lot of useful information and the binder full of resources was fantastic! Kathleen was so knowledgeable and after the course, we left feeling as ready as we could be for our baby girl to arrive into this world! I would highly recommend this course for new parents.”
-Molly
“I attended one of Kathleen’s prenatal classes with my partner. It was a full day and worth every penny to attend! She is passionate and put a lot into her knowledge-sharing, with details and hands-on demonstrations. My partner and I feel a lot more confident about the birth process because we understand how things might unfold, why/when. We feel so much more prepared. I highly recommend attending for any expecting couple or single person.-Jacquelyn

Hi, I’m Kathleen
I am a professional birth doula, childbirth educator, and I encapsulate placentas. I recognize that we live, learn and work on the traditional unceded territory of the Syilx/Okanagan people in Kelowna, BC. I acknowledge that I serve families on this land.
I have worked in birth for over a decade and a half and my experience in birth includes hundreds of births in all models of care.
I became passionate about supporting the process of the birth after the birth of my first baby. This passion led me to doula support with the desire to offer knowledge and an understanding of choices both during and after birth. My work was really founded on the desire to work with women and families in achieving informed and empowering births as you define it.
