Hello friend! I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Kelsey, your Sonoma County birth doula!
As a doula, I am here for YOU. I am a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, spiritual, and informational support to you and your family before, during, and and shortly after childbirth.
I want to nurture your natural abilities as a woman and a mother, and to remind you how capable you truly are.
I am on a mission to bring happiness and positivity back into the delivery room, and I cannot wait to be apart of your journey into parenthood!
About Kelsey
After I had my second child in February of 2022, I knew that something wasn’t right. When I looked back at my experiences giving birth, they were full of trauma. I didn’t look back at those times and think, “this was the best day of my life!” Like I thought other women did. I had heard other women talk about how beautiful birth was, and how wonderful their labor and delivery experiences were, and I was jealous. But then, on the other side of that, I talked to a number of women whose experiences mirrored mine. I became obsessed with finding out what the difference was that made the experience wonderful, versus traumatic.
One word kept coming up as I talked to the women who had great experiences, and that word was Doula. I became passionate about the work that doulas do, and I decided I wanted to serve other women in the way that only a doula can. In January of 2023, I finished my training and became a certified doula! It has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done (next to being a mom), and every person I work with teaches me something new. I love what I do, and I truly hope I get the opportunity to work with you!
Here are a few of my favorite things:

Snuggling my german shepherd Family is everything to me, and when you choose me to be your doula, you become apart of my family. The love and support I would show them, is what you can expect from the moment you hire me.
The word “doula” comes from Ancient Greek, meaning “a woman who serves.” Today, the meaning of doula has morphed into a simple phrase: Mothering the Mother
