Hi, I’m Katie!

I am a certified doula, birth photographer and educator who is all around passionate about the importance and beauty of birth. I serve families in Raleigh-Durham and Chapel Hill Areas.

As a mom who experienced the transformation from being scared and unprepared to “I can do this! I’m excited to give birth!” it is my greatest joy to help other parents on their journey. I’m here to help you gain some knowledge, master your fears and find your confidence.

“All that matters is a healthy baby” is nonsense. The day you meet your baby is important. You deserve peace, support and trust in yourself to navigate your birth in the most healthy and positive way.

If you are wanting to get informed and take action for yourself and your birth, I am the professional for you! I have supported hundreds of families and have many years of experience under my belt. I have seen the range of labors and I am prepared to help you plan and achieve your best birthing day. You are worth it!

  • "Katie helped me through the natural birth of my dreams. Her calm confidence during the intense moments is just what you need from your doula. She was also our photographer and somehow managed to seamlessly switch between each role throughout labor. I can't recommend her highly enough." -Whitney

  • "I could not have experienced an enjoyable birth without Katie. She was hands on, knowledgeable, and patient. Around 22 hours, I remember pleading ‘I can't do this!’ and she said, ‘You’re exactly where you need to be.’ It's hard to put into words the confidence she instilled. Working with Katie is something we'll never forget—she is truly a gift." -Bridget

  • Paartner support and comfort measures during homebirth in Sanford NC-The Doula Lens

    "Katie is the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and talented person to work with. It is so clear that she deeply cares for her families. She is always very present, intentional, and supportive—whether it be prenatal education, those final days/weeks leading up to birth, the birth itself, and the postpartum period. We absolutely adore the moments she captured for us, too! If we have any more babies, we will 100% have Katie on our team again." -Jasmine

  • "Hiring Katie as my doula was one of the best decisions I made in planning for my labor and delivery. I could see immediately how kind, thoughtful, and caring she is. Her guidance and support was a world’s difference from many friend’s recent births (in a good way!) and I’ve looked at the birth photos countless times. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat" -Rachel

  • "My husband and I are beyond grateful that Katie was our doula and birth photographer, and it’s honestly hard to imagine going through our birth without Katie present. Our expectations and plans were flipped on their head and throughout it all Katie remained as a constant beacon of support, knowledge and guidance. She was prepared for every situation we faced and we shudder at the thought of having to navigate the process without her." -Jessica
