A New Baby is a Big Deal.

Adding a new baby to your family means change—for your body, emotions, relationships and family dynamics.

I provide support in the first weeks or months as you integrate your new baby into your life and discover your own way of being their parent.

I provide whole-family nurturing, and evidence-based information, guidance, and support — on everything from birth recovery to newborn care and feeding, to family bonding.

What Families Are Saying

"Kelsey is a dream post-partum doula. Knowledgeable, kind, patient, and a magician with young babies, she was a life-saver during those early sleepless weeks! She was incredibly attentive and intuitive with our son and he was always happy to see her when she arrived. Kelsey always went above and beyond to help ease the transition to parenthood for us and we would work with her again in a heartbeat!"

~ Megan
"Hiring Kelsey postpartum was the best decision we could have made. I struggled with PPD/PPA. Kelsey guided me through signing up for additional supports/resources outside of the home. She also gently supported and guided me through areas as a new mother I felt sensitive in and helped build my confidence to navigate through this transformative experience in becoming parents. We'd be lost without her expertise and tender nature."

~ Aleyna
"I have nothing but glowing things to say about Kelsey. She became an integral part of our family rhythm only a few weeks after we had our daughter, and was an incredible help on so many fronts. She gave us breaks when we needed them, provided us bonding time with our daughter while she took a care of key new child items like cleaning bottles, gave us education and confidence on how to care for our child and, most importantly, just so much love and care for our daughter. Kelsey is attentive, observant, inquisitive and anticipatory of your needs in a way...

... (continued) that always feels supportive and never too much. She manages the perfect balance of following your lead and style while also showing the way. From the earliest newborn days our daughter felt comfortable with spending time with Kelsey and our daughter has had so much fun. It has been a gift to have an additional loving care taker in her life. It has been a incredible relief to know how well cared for our daughter and family have been. Kelsey is incredible and if you have the ability to have her in your life, do it. You will have zero regrets."
