Birth and Postpartum Doula Services for Minnesota Families
Welcome!
Hi there! I’m Kristen (she/her)
Your partner in compassionate doula care
Whether this is your very first birth or you have done this before, my role is to hold space for you, help you understand your choices, protect your birth environment and make you feel seen, safe, and supported.
Informational
From the moment you hire me, I am available by phone, text, or email to help you prepare for your birth and answer any question that comes to mind. I help you feel educated and provide you with evidence-based information about pregnancy, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding (& more!), so you can make decisions that are right for you and your family.
Physical
During your birthing time, I stay by your side through the entire journey. I have a toolbox of tips and strategies to help you feel as comfortable as possible, regardless of where you are laboring. I suggest positions and techniques to help ease discomfort, apply pressure in all the right spots, and can also show partners how to get involved in helping you feel comfortable and supported.
Emotional
The path to meeting your baby can have lots of ups and downs. I help you to feel confident and find your inner strength, and I acknowledge with empathy when things get tough. Whether you need a strong voice encouraging you to keep going, or a soft voice reminding you to breathe, I am there to support you through any emotion.
