Have you ever struggled with what kind of gift to give to your friend/co-worker/cousin/granddaughter for her baby shower?” Look no farther than this well priced doula package that has both care hours and great products all wrapped up in a cute basket."
"It’s hard being a Grandma far away!"
I am a grandma now, and Kristin’s presence was such a comfort after our own daughters had their babies. She has been a midwife for 20 years, but it has been 20 years since I’d been a new mom! Her help was invaluable in the week and month after their babies were born as new questions came up about changes in baby and mom. She was a phone call away—even in the middle of the night!
"My days are crazy!"
“Kristin is amazing, knowledgeable, and incredibly caring! She helped my husband and me feel confident and prepared for our home birth every step of the way. After our baby was born, she checked on us multiple times each week, which was so reassuring and helpful during those early days. Her support, encouragement, and expertise made all the difference. We are so grateful for her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone considering postpartum care!”
"We just came home and need help!"
We had twins in October 2024 and we were overwhelmed with it all. Kristin provided prenatal nutritional support to help me have a good birth and then came twice to watch the babies overnight while we slept. What a difference that made for our family!
From 2009 to 2024, I worked as a Licensed Midwife in the Yakima Valley and farther afield. It was very important to me to provide a balanced blend of western medicine with traditional knowledge of birth and health while personalizing options for every birthing family. It was amazing, fulfilling and humbling to be allowed into people’s lives in this way and I loved it. It was so special to be asked again, over and over, into the birth of someone’s next baby or referred to someone’s sister or friend. However, it was also very tiring and took me away from my own family. Over time, it became clear that I was burning the candle at both ends which led to burnout and health issues. Thus, I retired in 2024 and have no longer worked as a midwife.
Now, after some rest and healing, I’ve found a new and related way to help families navigate birth! Perinatal means “around the time of birth” and my services are designed to help families prepare for both birth and the next few months afterwards. There are so many different needs that new moms have but most of them can be helped with the presence and assistance from a knowledgeable and objective mother-figure. I offer prenatal consultations to help you plan what you need, classes to answer all sorts of health and baby questions, 24/7 on-call phone access for those little and big questions, and in-home postpartum care for your family.
Here’s to a great postpartum!
This $50 consultation is my single most important service for helping you to be ready for childbirth and the months that follow. I include it for free in most of my packages.
Meet during pregnancy to discuss your goals, needs, and preferences for the purpose of creating a personalized plan for your postpartum experience. In essence, we’ll set a priority list around things that matter to you so that we have a guide for how I help you get things accomplished once you are (a little) frazzled.
