Hi, I’m Kathleen
I am a professional birth doula, childbirth educator, and approved placenta encapsulation provider. 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 as a birth doula was really founded on the desire to work with women and families in achieving informed and empowering births as you define it.
