Before becoming a birth doula and childbirth educator, I was an elementary school teacher and barre instructor. Outside of birth work, I’m busy with three little ones and my husband. On weekends, you’ll often find me on the W&OD trail with a double stroller, at a sports field, or building Legos with my toddlers. I love visiting family across the country and have fond memories of traveling with my partner pre-kids. I was born in Southern California and raised here in Northern Virginia. I also have a high tolerance for spicy food and a soft spot for word puzzles.
I would be honored to support you on your journey. Let’s connect and explore how I can best serve you and your growing family!
My name is Katelynn, and my mission as a birth doula is to empower and support you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I offer physical, emotional, and informational guidance to help your birth story unfold with confidence and care. I strive to walk beside you through one of the most transformative experiences of your life.
I am a DONA-certified birth doula and a Lamaze-certified childbirth educator, and I also serve as a Labor Support Volunteer at VHC Health in Arlington. I bring my experience, training, and insight to help you prepare for birth and make confident, informed choices every step of the way.
My passion for pregnancy and birth began in 2019, when I became pregnant with my first child. Alongside the excitement, I quickly realized how much there was to consider when it came to my body, my baby, and my birth experience. I was determined to educate myself, build a supportive birth team, and prepare both my mind and body. Three babies later, I remain deeply committed to the belief that every birthing person deserves the same opportunity to feel informed, strong, and supported.
