"From the very beginning, we trusted her completely. Kelly genuinely cares about a baby's well-being, not just following a checklist, but really tuning in to what the baby needs in the moment. She showed up for us when we needed support the most."

HI, I'M KELLY!

I've been supporting new families for over 15 years, and postpartum care became my calling early on. There's nothing like being the steady presence in those wild first weeks. The person who shows up, knows your baby, and helps everything feel just a little more manageable.  I'm a certified birth and postpartum doula with formal training in advanced newborn care and evidence-based sleep science. I have a genuine love for the messy, beautiful reality of life with a new baby. Basically, I'm your go-to person for those early weeks and months, offering guidance and practical support to help you hit the ground running (or at least gently strolling!).

KIND WORDS

"Kelly helped us out for two nights when our regular night doula was in vacation and she was AMAZING! Our regular doula recommended her, but it's still nerve-wracking to trust your newborn with someone new, but Kelly instantly put us at ease and was so wonderful with our son. We really appreciated how she asked such thoughtful questions to understand our care preferences, and how she jumped in to help with several tasks that our regular doula typically supports. Kelly not only took great care of our baby so we could get some sleep, but she also was great to talk to for us parents. We had to take our baby to the ER during the day before she came over, and while he was totally ok, it was very stressful. Kelly was able to make me feel so much better about the whole thing. We highly recommend her and will continue to work with her to fill in gaps with our regular doula."
