As your doula, we will meet 2 times before your birth to get to know you and your birth/postpartum plans. You may call or text me any time with questions and pregnancy updates. I will provide continuous support throughout your labor and delivery until you and your new family are comfortably settled in. I can also help with initial breastfeeding. For Postpartum, I am available for a minimum of 4 hour day shifts to 8 hour day/evening shifts (for parents struggling with feeding issues and sleep deprivation). While many doulas work as just a birth doula or postpartum doula, I do both! Your need for support does not stop at birth. Every family has different wishes and needs for their birth and postpartum recovery. From first time parents, overnight stays, meal prep, dad having to go back to work, or older children to care for I am available to step in where you need me. Uniquely You Doula Services is personalized support for your unique needs in pregnacy, childbirth, and postpartum.

Having Katie as my doula was the best decision my husband and I made! Katie was amazing during my birth and I couldn't have done it without her! Her bag a goodies kept me sane and feeling on top of my very hectic labor. Her calming presence was exactly what I needed through it??
my husband and I would recommend her to anyone having a baby!

We truly enjoyed out experience with Katie! We had two prenatal visits. At each visit she came loaded with helpful information. Katie brought handouts to help us remember what we had discussed, and instructions for daily exercise to help make birth a bit easier. She is also very responsive over text message! When labor started she had many positions to help labor progress, options for some relief, and many encouraging words! Katie really helped us have the labor we wanted! After delivery she helped establish breastfeeding and checked in on us postpartum. We throughly enjoy our experience with Katie!

Recently Katie helped my husband and I with the birth of our second baby. She was part of our first child's birth, and it was a wonderful experience, so we asked her to help us again. It was the best decision!!
Katie came to our house when I started having regular contractions, and stayed with us through the whole long day of early labor. She suggested positions and movements to help, and encouraged us not to be discouraged by the slow progress.
In the evening my contractions slowed down, so she went home and we all got a few hours of sleep. She came back early in the morning when things picked up again, and we went to the birthing center. She helped us all morning as I continued to labor, and when things weren't progressing, suggested we ask our friends and family for prayer. Katie has such a calming presence that helped greatly as we began to get worried and discouraged.
Finally around noon, the midwife was able to break my water, and then everything became extremely intense and moved very fast. I don't know how we would have managed without her! We all rejoiced when our perfect, healthy baby girl was born!!
Later that week, Katie came to visit me at home. It was helpful to talk through the birth with her and process everything that had happened. She gave me a timeline of the labor and birth, from notes she took through it all, which is a special memory to keep.
I highly recommend Katie, whether you're having your first baby or a second or more!! My husband and I don't plan to ever give birth without her!

Katie was a great help at the birth of our son. Katie suggested things to help for pain, and literally grabbed anything I asked her too, more pillows, water, communicate with the nurses, etc. Our son was stillborn which we knew in advance and she took tons of pictures per our request. My husband and I both appreciated her assistance.

Without a doubt, she was the reason I was able to have a successful delivery this time. If anyone is wondering whether or not to ask for her help, I highly recommend it.
I am a Japanese woman who came to Kansas from Japan two years ago because of my husband's work and I do not speak English well. And after the experience of giving birth to my first child, I was very afraid of giving birth.I was happy to find out that I was pregnant, but I was also very anxious.
But every time I met with her, she would put my fears to rest. I was nervous about even one message because my English is not good, but she responded right away and carefully explained the next steps to take. And at our first meeting, to my surprise, she even prepared the materials in Japanese so that we could read them as well. This was an impressive event for me because I had not expected such detailed attention to detail.When I asked her about something I didn't understand while attending the hospital, she responded immediately. When I was overdue and had to schedule an induction, she calmly gave me advice, and as a result, I was able to have a natural birth this time.Even at four in the morning when the contractions started,she responded right away and took away my anxiety. Even when I was messaging her, I couldn't wait to meet her and feel at ease. She calmed me down during the birth, as I was in a hurry anyway, and I did the exercises as advised, so the birth was over in no time and a happy time awaited me. This experience changed my impression of childbirth to a very positive one.And at the postpartum interview, they had prepared a record of the birth process that was like a documentary novel. I was touched by this unexpected gift. I am now looking forward to reading it with my son when he is older.
Thank you for the wonderful meeting with Katie. I hope that many anxious mothers like me will have a positive experience with her.

We had a wonderful experience with Katie and I 100% recommend her?? What attracted me most about her in the beginning was that she was very interested in coming to my house during labor to help me labor and progress at home. It was been a goal of mind to work through the majority of labor at home. Katie was always there throughout my pregnancy to offer me advice and resources on any pregnancy issues I needed to address. On the day I went into labor, she was on call for me all day, offering me advice on how to keep labor going and take care of myself throughout the day. When I began serious labor, she came directly to my house and walked me through each contraction, helping labor progress smoothly with various labor positions. With Katie's help, I was able to walk into the hospital dilated to a 10! I am very grateful to Katie for an amazing labor and birth experience!

We had the privilege of having Katie be our doula for the second time, and it was just as great an experience as the first! The combination of her calm presence and her wealth of knowledge on labor is so helpful! Katie also followed up multiple times thru the weeks following birth to check in on us, as well as provide resources for breastfeeding or whatever else we needed! She's truly a gem!

I recently completed my second pregnancy and birth with Katie. I hired Katie to be my doula as soon as I found out I was pregnant and I'm so thankful because she was able to walk with me through multiple challenges throughout the pregnancy and provide support and advice. I dealt with a subchorionic hemmorage, placenta previa and preterm birth. During the actual labor and delivery, Katie met us at the hospital in early labor and stayed with us the whole time until a couple hours after baby girl was born. She provided comfort measures during labor: positions, comb, oils, TENS unit, mindset coaching, and supported my husband through it as well. She met up with me a week after the birth and spent hours listening to me talk about my postpartum challenges and experience and reflections on my birth experience. She also writes up the whole birth story, which was the sweetest surprise with my first baby. I am endlessly thankful for Katie and all the work she put in to get me here today, safe and supported. Thank you, Katie!

From the first call with Katie, I knew she was going to be a perfect fit for us. She was very knowledgeable and thorough. I felt very comfortable with her. We had a plan for my homebirth and another backup plan in case we needed to be transferred to a hospital. Prior to my birth, she came to my home and went over all the different techniques/positions we could utilize if necessary, depending on how labor went. She had handouts that were useful. She was super sweet with my toddler which is a huge plus for us. She had a lot of tips and tricks to help with pain/labor, which I found very helpful. She made herself available for questions/calls. She was in contact with me when I had any appointments. Near the end of my pregnancy, she would check in and see how things were going/how I was feeling. We did not use a doula with my first birth and we regretted it. This birth, Katie made a huge difference. Most of all, I liked Katie's calming personality. She made me feel at ease even during those strong contractions and talked me through them. Katie has a very warm and caring personality, and along with the knowledge she brings, I highly recommend.

We had Katie help us with the birth of our first child, and she was such a blessing!
We originally were planning on a home birth, but partway through the pregnancy had to change plans to a hospital due to complications. The two visits we had with her before the birth were extremely helpful. She gave us handouts that helped my husband and I think through the decisions we needed to make, and she explained in detail what the hospital would be like.
When I started having contractions, Katie helped me figure out if it was really labor and when it was time to go to the hospital. Once there, she knew exactly what to do. She explained anything we didn't understand, and communicated my wishes to others when I couldn't.
She directed me into positions to progress labor, and helped my husband know how to support me. After our baby was born, she helped initiate breastfeeding.
After we were home, she called to check in frequently, and answered all my questions. She also gave us a timeline of the birth with fun memories she had written out!
Katie helped make our first birth a wonderful experience, and we are so thankful for everything she did! We highly recommend her!

Katie was such a blessing to us. Pregnancy and birth are such vulnerable times for women. I was originally not going to have anyone other than midwives and my husband when in labor. Over halfway in, I changed my mind so options were a little limited. But Katie was so kind and caring, I'm grateful for all she did for us and that we went with her. Labor and delivery were difficult for me, with many unexpected hoops, the biggest one being a less than ideal pelvis shape that hindered baby greatly, but Katie quietly persisted in helping me have the out of hospital, medication free birth I wanted. She kept me moving through positions and gave me much encouragement. My favorite part looking back now is that she asked people to pray for us after things weren't going as expected in labor. Highly recommend Katie as a peaceful presence with a side of determination. Husbands are great support but it's a blessing to have someone else around who understands and can give your spouse a much needed break if labor lasts hours!

We had a good experience working with Katie! She was very thorough and detailed on her visits before the birth. During labor, she was very helpful with calming me down and helping me to breathe through my contractions which were very intense. She had lots of tips and tricks in her bag and was ready to try different things to help me cope. I doubt whether I would have had my dream birth, unmedicated and intervention free, without her.

I met Katie during the labor of my second child - a grueling 24 hour v-bac trial by fire that showed me how wonderful having a doula could be! Since then, Katie has assisted me (and my husband) in two more births and each time, she has amazed us with her knowledge, ease, and compassion. Katie has good tips and ideas about how to make labor progress, contractions more bearable, and lessen pain. Through it all, she has been a helper, mother figure, and mentor to me. She also takes wonderful notes and has typed up my birth story each time and given it to me - I treasure these so much! I can't recommend Katie enough! As long as I'm having babies, I'll be having Katie help bring them into the world!

We absolutely loved having Katie at our birth! She was so knowledgeable and has a very calm presence about her!
She not only coached me, but was able to suggest ways for my husband to support me in labor as well, creating the best team ever! Katie was great at getting me to move into different positions during labor to help the baby's progress.
My husband and I both agreed that we will be hiring Katie for all of our future births as well!

Having Katie as my doula was arguably the best decision I made for my daughter's birth assistance. During pregnancy Katie gave me many resources and suggestions for maintaining comfort and health, positioning baby, and preparing mentally and spiritually for labor. She was readily available for a text or call anytime I had questions. At 35 weeks she came to our house to meet my husband, give us a packet on breastfeeding (which I still refer to now at 6 wks postpartum), and practice comfort measures for labor. During labor Katie arrived early on and was right by my side through a long night of labor. She had countless comfort measures readily available and I truly believe my labor was more manageable and calm because of Katie's presence and help. I had to unexpectedly be transferred to the hospital for a c-section, which was still made better by the fact that Katie escorted us there and was so supportive through this emotional process. During postpartum Katie has checked in with me weekly (sometimes more), encouraged me, and reminded me that there is nothing more important than taking care of my daughter and my recovery during this time. She came a week after the delivery to check in with us on breastfeeding and recovery, and also gave us a written documentation of the labor and birth events, which I will treasure for the rest of my life. I was so thankful for this, as I didn't have the mental energy to write it all down myself. I would recommend Katie to any expecting mother and cannot imagine going through labor without her. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Katie for everything you have done to create a confident and beautiful entrance into motherhood for me.

Hello,
My name is Kaylee and Katie helped during my labor as extra support. I tell my family every time we talk about the birth that I couldn't have done it without her. Before delivery Katie was super helpful with staying in contact and ensuring I had the questions to everything I was asking! My favorite thing that she did that was a surprise was document the entire thing through her eyes and I love being able to go back and look at it because I don't remember much. She's also still super helpful after birth too. Most definitely will be useing her again when the next kiddo comes around!
Thank you so much, Katie for being my support person!

Katie was such a huge help during my whole pregnancy, labor,and postpartum. Even though my labor didn't go as planned she did everything she could to keep me on track with my birth plan and supported me the entire way. I feel that having Katie as a doula helped me be a more educated mom. The classes, along with advice given though each stage Katie helped me be more confident in my journey of parenthood! I recommend all mothers to have her has a doula.

Katie is a fantastic doula! My husband and I met with Katie in two prenatal appointments to talk about both a labor and birth plan AND a postpartum care plan. Katie had forms that would help us with the planning for both circumstances. It was helpful to talk through all of these things ahead of time, and it gave us the opportunity to get to know Katie before labor and delivery. I also added a few prenatal massages to the doula contract, which provided wonderful relief and relaxation at the end of the third trimester.
Katie is very knowledgeable. She is trained in the Spinning Babies technique; we practiced some of the positions together prior to labor, and then used them during labor. She has several labor balls and recommended positions that helped with pain relief and positioning baby during labor. Katie also offers the option to use essential oils during labor— she helped me out a lot when I got nauseous by bringing lemon oil (and at a later time, peppermint oil) for me to sniff.
My labor was rather difficult (and long), and Katie was present and supporting me the whole time. My husband said that Katie really helped him to feel safe and stay calm when everything was moving fast at the end. On top of that, we enjoyed her company when the going was slow earlier in the day. I haven’t had Katie for postpartum doula services, but I am sure that she provides wonderful support. Katie came for a postpartum visit and checked that breastfeeding and baby care were going fine. She provided a detailed birth and labor narrative that she had written up, which I can put in my kiddo’s baby book! I’m amazed how Katie was able to record all those details while always being present with me. She has this doula thing down! J
Bottom line: Katie is very knowledgeable and experienced, caring and supportive. I highly recommend her!
