About
Timeless Support for Parents
For centuries across cultures, support has been an essential standard during the days and weeks following a baby’s birth.
Whether it’s a doula, like me, or a family member or friend, having in-home support from someone who understands babies makes a big difference. It gives you the chance to learn in ways that make it easier to adapt to life with your newborn.
With a stomach the size of a cherry on day one and a brain that doubles in size by their first birthday, your baby’s rapid growth keeps your rest and energy in constant flux.
With my postpartum doula support, you can master this intense, round-the-clock cycle in weeks rather than months. You’ll learn to read your baby’s cues and trust your instincts, giving you a clear path through the advice out there and access to evidence-based resources that fit your baby’s temperament.
Whether it’s breastfeeding, sleep, a NICU discharge, or welcoming twins, the support you receive will fit your family’s needs and priorities.
My Story
I’m Katrina, and my approach to supporting families continues to be shaped by both extensive professional training and my personal journey as the mother of a preemie. This combination of lived experience and formal education allows me to understand the emotional and practical challenges parents face as they care for their children.
I’m certified as a childbirth educator (ICEA) and postpartum doula (DONA). I’ve also trained as a birth doula (DONA) and certified as a NICU Breastfeeding Specialist and Lactation Education Specialist. I’ve trained in RIE® Foundations, Ayurveda for the Childbearing Year, Montessori for babies, and Perinatal Mental Health for care providers, an essential skill in holding space for matrescence.
I was featured in The Milky Way breastfeeding documentary in 2013, and in 2018, I was invited to join the board of The Milky Way Foundation.
For 15 years, I’ve supported families through childbirth education and postpartum planning, birth support in both home and hospital settings, NICU guidance and discharge planning, postpartum care, night doula support, and sleep coaching.
All of this training and experience serves one purpose: offering you the education, tools, and support you need to navigate parenthood.
Based in Los Angeles, I work with families locally and around the world, offering both virtual and in-person support.
