Expert lactation and doula support to strengthen your family nest. 

“Kathleen was indispensable. She was a much needed calm presence in our home with a wealth of baby knowledge, postpartum and mental health care. It was like having a kind and non-judgmental friend visit you. She was a kind ear for all our panicked, sleep-deprived questions, and a vital resource, helping us troubleshoot breastfeeding issues and providing referrals to therapists, as well as being a genuine pleasure to have around. Kathleen is the closest Boston has to a professional mother for new parents!”

“We loved working with Kathleen. She is very knowledgeable about all things baby-related and definitely goes above and beyond to help babies and families adjust! She was very helpful with our feeding and food allergy problems at the start of our baby's life. She also takes great care of the rest of the family at this important time of transition.”

-Rachel

“Kathleen empowered me to feel more confident about caring for my baby. Kathleen helped me to trust my instincts, and as a result, I spend less time worrying and more time enjoying being a mother. I wasn't very confident about breastfeeding and how best to help my baby sleep better, but she was so reassuring as well as informative, and she helped me to feel better about both. Kathleen has the perfect combination of being supportive and kind in conjunction with being extremely practical and knowledgeable, and with such a calming presence.”

- Debbie

“What I most appreciated about working with Kathleen is her approach - she's both thorough and thoughtful, balancing sharing all of the information, data and analysis we asked for, alongside empathy, emotional support and consciousness of who we are and what we need. I valued the information and guidance she offered on breastfeeding, which I believe contributed to me and my son seeing better feeding results in the first hours, days and weeks after birth, and less anxiety for me in questioning what was going on. “

-Maggie

“Working with Kathleen was one of the best decisions I could have made. Kathleen is a deep listener who is creative in her therapeutic approach and is always willing to take the conversation in whatever direction I need. She supported me during a difficult transition in finding a sense of balance with being back at work. Kathleen also supported me in revisiting what was a difficult labor and delivery period. ”

-Stephanie

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kathleen. Working with a doula during pregnancy, for our birth, and postpartum ensured we were truly present, in control, and supported in every experience. Kathleen is communicative, nurturing, and a wealth of knowledge - she tailored our doula services to exactly what we were seeking.”

- Kristen and Kristina

“Kathleen was a joy to work with! She is extremely knowledgeable and I appreciate her non judgmental, educational approach to baby care. She is kind and approachable and has a calming demeanor. She attentively cared for our son, gave us helpful tips with breastfeeding and bathtime and allowed us to catch a bit of rest in the madness of the newborn days.”

- Melissa

“Thank you Kathleen for everything you did. Your knowledge, experience and care helped alleviate our fears as new parents. You did so much for us-- helping us take care of Adela, giving tips and suggestions and cooking delicious meals. We really enjoyed the conversations that we had during morning coffee time. Thank you for being such a calm and joyful presence in our journey as new parents.”

-Waazim and Jasna

“She has a lovely, calming energy and I trusted her right away with both kids (my newborn and my toddler). She is an unbelievable multitasker and was able to play with my toddler, tidy up the house, do the dishes, and hold the newborn. She was flexible and able to quickly switch tasks according to my needs at that moment. It was great working with Kathleen!”

-Julie

“Kathleen was the most amazing support of our family throughout my pregnancy and into postpartum. My birth was challenging and Kathleen really helped us stay in the moment and keep things positive. Her help postpartum was so essential in the transition to parenthood.”

-Jane

“I can't recommend Kathleen enough for your prenatal, labor and delivery, or postpartum experience! Kathleen's postpartum support has been just as significant. She cooked and cleaned for us when everything felt chaotic around us, held baby when we needed rest, and has helped me think through some of the challenges I was facing as a first time mom. I am so grateful she has been a part of my transition into motherhood, and I would recommend her to any of my friends and family who are expecting.”
