Kathie’s birth doula journey began just two days before welcoming her third daughter. Kathie had the honor of supporting her best friend during her birth! She knew her passion for birth, babies, and supporting mothers would be a dream come true for her!

Becoming a mother at such a young age has its advantages. Even though she didn’t feel like she had a lot of information when she was a young mother, she did know instinctively that her body was divinely created to give birth. All 3 of her girls were born in a hospital environment, and were “mostly” undisturbed births.

Kathie and her husband moved to Nashville from California in 2020 to be closer to their oldest daughter, who moved here to open a chiropractic practice. Kathie loves the outdoors and you’ll find her at the dog park every morning with her boy, Ranger.

Moving to Nashville gave Kathie the opportunity to re-discover her passion for childbirth when two of her daughter's friends chose home births with doulas & midwives. She knew instantly that she wanted to dedicate her time and energy as a birth and postpartum doula. She trained and certified through DONA international (Doulas of North America) and has loved supporting women and families ever since!

Kathie would love to support you in whatever type of birth you are hoping for. She shows great care for her clients. Kathie is a natural teacher & loves to share her wisdom. She also enjoys cooking with clean ingredients and has extensive knowledge in nutrition & holistic remedies.

“I wanted to send along this message with our most heartfelt thanks to Kathie and the entire Nashville Doula Services crew for the overwhelming love and support we received from our team during the birth of our daughter.

I knew that having a doula during our daughter's birth would help me to reach our birth goals and would be a tremendous support to my husband and I. This turned out to be so true. Our girl gave us a very long labor and we benefited so much from the coaching and support that Kathie gave us. She provided just the right physical and emotional support, and was essential in providing us information and helping us make decisions throughout labor, and generally used her extensive knowledge to put us at ease at multiple points.”
