Doulas provide continuous, uninterrupted care for the laboring woman and her partner, and help them participate fully in their experience by offering physical and emotional support and information about the birth process, available technology and alternatives.
A Doula is not a replacement for the birth partner or father. She assists and supports the primary birth partner to better support the mother. The constant, uniterupted care and comfort of a Doula helps a woman feel safe and empowered, giving her body the signals to open up and give birth.
Kate has been trained in the ALACE and DONA Birth Doula methods. Kate’s intention is to support the birth that you desire. She will honor any choices that are made throughout the labor and delivery. She is available to assist births in the LA area.

Prenatal Yoga invites a woman to explore her own valuable resources as a human being. She learns how to tap into the rythmn of her own breath and how to hold herself in that deep current of her own prana. The asanas help to prepare her body for the amazing feat of labor and delivery. Birth takes both strength and flexibility. The power of endurance is held in the same hand as surrender. A muscle must know how to contract and how to let go. Asana teaches her how to orchestrate this balance and weave the mind, body and spirit into harmony. Meditation offers her a place to recide inside herself. The more frequently visited, the more it will feel like home. Opening to the deep intelligence of the, body, mind and heart, we are all able to ride the currents of life with greater ease and clarity.
Kate has studied prenatal yoga with Anusara teachers Sue Elkind, Lucy Lomax, Sara Shelly and John Friend. Her knowledge of anatomy and therepeutics helps to support her students in the relief of common aches and pains that can be associated with pregnancy and childbirth. Her intention is to empower her students through their journey into yoga and birth.
