Hi, I’m Kat, a Certified Fertility Doula, Certified Pregnancy & Infant Loss Doula, a Certifying Birth & Postpartum Doula, and a Certifying Childbirth Educator in Calgary.
 

I offer personalized, inclusive support across the reproductive journey: from trying to conceive (TTC) through birth, postpartum, and infant sleep care.

​

But this isn’t just my job, it’s my calling, deeply rooted in my own lived experiences.

​

After a traumatic birth with my first child, I became a Birth & Postpartum Doula to advocate for better, more informed care. Later, during my 6.5-year struggle with secondary unexplained infertility, I saw just how unsupported and isolating the TTC path can be. I knew I wanted to help others feel less alone—and more informed, supported, and empowered.

​​

Now, I bring everything I’ve learned—professionally and personally—to serve all kinds of families, individuals, and journeys. Whether you're solo, partnered, queer, neurodivergent, or grieving—you're welcome here.

​​

My Approach

I don’t do cookie-cutter care. I believe in:

• Emotional safety first

• Empowerment through education

• Support without judgment

• Respect for your identity, culture, and family structure

 

You know yourself best. I’m here to walk beside you, listen fully, and help you feel seen—so you can make decisions with confidence.
