I’m Kaitlin — mother, wife, writer, creatrix, doula, birthkeeper, & holistic postpartum caregiver.

I have supported families throughout their birth & postpartum transformations Since 2013. Having trained with a variety of birth and postpartum organizations in addition to fully immersing myself in a far-reaching self-study practice, my support style is well-rounded and all-encompassing. As well, my depth of experiential knowledge allows me to intuitively draw on various philosophies and strategies when helping parents venture forth into the realm of raising children.

The time that I have spent in the birthing spaces and homes of new families has wholly enhanced my understanding of birth and parenthood as sacred, spiritual endeavors that are intended to bring us to the heart of God's love in the midst of deeply physical & natural lived experiences.

My current intention is to rewrite the narrative surrounding motherhood by returning our focus to creativity & prayer, sisterhood & community, Thriving survival, and reclamation of body & mind — all the while continuing to take care of mothers in real time and in real ways.

The new era of motherhood has begun, and I am honored to be a part of the shift. 

TELL ME

Tell me how I was born,
and the way I drip-dried clean.
Salty and bloody and bluish.
A cord between you and me.

Tell me how I was fed
full servings of milk and glee,
the warmth of your breast on my cheek,
and how I obsessed over thee.

Tell me how I was loved,
with the beat of your heart in my blood
and the passion with which you created
my body and soul from above.

Tell me how I was carried
to safety and warmth in your arms.
Blanketed softly and kissed,
for divinity knows no harm.
