Located in the adjoining suite on the same floor of the studio is Kate! Kate is a doula and a massage therapist. Her main goal is to help others to maintain their autonomy during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. She assists parents to make meaningful decisions for themselves and to effectively communicate those decisions to their support people and care providers. She strives to provide unbiased and non-judgmental support to clients in every decision they make – whether those decisions happen to be similar to, or the polar opposite of, the choices that she would make for myself.

In the time since her initial doula training, Kate has taken additional trainings and certified in February of 2017 as a dual birth and postpartum doula with Doula Trainings International. In 2019 she graduated from a massage therapy program and became licensed in the states of Maine and New Hampshire and also took additional trainings to certify in prenatal massage and myofascial cupping.
