Client Love <3

  • "Booking Cait as our postpartum doula was one of the best decisions that we made. As first time parents, both my husband and I were anxious about suddenly being responsible for our tiny new human when we brought our daughter home from the hospital. Cait was so incredible in helping us navigate the first days home from the hospital. She met us at our apartment the night we got discharged from the hospital and helped to arrange all my peri/postpartum supplies and medications following an exhausting 3-week early induction, unplanned C-section, and extended hospital stay. Our house was a mess with stuff all over the place from our baby shower and Cait helped to organize everything by sorting it into bins, sorted all our hand-me-down clothing by size/age, and got our place into baby-ready shape. She cooked us delicious nourishing meals, always checked in on our mental health with every visit—even gently pushing me to have difficult real conversations about my postpartum depression and anxieties as a first-time mom, gave amazing massages, answered all our exhausting clueless parent questions, and helped me to navigate breastfeeding, pumping, and all the challenging things that come along with lactation and feeding with patience and compassion. She even worked with us a little longer to do some extra lactation consulting sessions following our daughter's tongue and lip tie surgery. Cait is an absolutely gifted doula, who we now consider a friend, and we truly cannot sing her praises enough to any and all of our friends, friends of friends, and family who are expecting. She is the BEST!"

  • "From the first time I talked with Cait over Zoom, I felt a connection with her. She was knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and she even encouraged me to interview other doulas because her number one concern was making sure that I had the right person supporting me. After that initial conversation and reading her story on her website, I knew Cait was the right person to help guide me and my husband through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. At our two in person prenatal meetings Cait provided vital information and asked a lot of questions to understand what kind of support my husband and I needed. She also answered many, many questions over text, never making me feel like I was being silly or worrying too much. When I went into labor, Cait came to our house as soon as I asked her to. Throughout the next 36+ hours she gave constant help, guidance, and reassurance as I worked to bring my son into the world. In this postpartum period, she has continued to be a rock for me. When I was struggling in the first few days home with an infant, she came and reassured me that everything would be okay. She has answered even more texts with all kinds of questions, at all hours of the day and night. She has been my biggest supporter and cheerleader, helping me find my confidence as a new mom. If you are looking for someone who will give you all the evidence based information you could ask for, who will look at pictures of your baby's poop and tell you it's normal, and who can be your strong advocate in a medical setting, I urge you to talk with Cait to see if she is a good match for you."

  • "A friend referred me to Cait when I was early in my first pregnancy, and I could not be more grateful. Cait is a wealth of knowledge for all kinds of birth experiences. She seamlessly pivoted with us when we learned we needed a scheduled c-section, and helped us learn what to expect. Even though it was a c-section, Cait spent the whole day at the hospital with us helping with bonding and the first latch. She was there when we needed, and also gave us space when we needed. The postpartum support we received was incredible - she patiently corrected my breastfeeding techniques (like, for hours), hooked me up with a combo feeding plan when we had to suddenly introduce formula, taught me how to pump, cooked amazing food, gave me professional level massages, and asked all the right questions about my (and my partner's!) mental health. FULLY exceeded my expectations. Her approach is inclusive and trauma-informed - so necessary in birth work. You cannot go wrong with choosing Cait as your doula <3."

  • "Cait’s kindness, compassion, knowledge, patience, professionalism, work ethic, attention to detail and gifted intuition collectively make her an exceptionally talented birth doula. She is so generous with her time, heart and spirit. Cait helped to ease my anxiety and helped mitigate potential triggers while in the labor and delivery room. She was able to foster great working relationships with the nurses and doctors we came in contact with while at the hospital and helped to facilitate a team environment that were all on-board with my birth plan. She was a calming and positive energy and set the tone for a peaceful mood. Her attention to detail is incredible whether that was helping set the ambiance or providing me with little things to help me along or make me feel special. Cait intuitively knew what I needed at any given moment whether it was a back or foot massage, water, or guided support to get me through contractions. She kept a nurturing and watchful eye on how I was progressing and helped get me through the physical and psychological challenges of labor and delivery. I felt safe, protected, nurtured and well taken care of with Cait by my side!"
