“Kjerstin was my postpartum doula for almost two months after the birth of my first child. Her support was invaluable during this transition, and the first few weeks with a newborn would have been much more challenging without her help. Kjerstin provided excellent advice, practical recommendations, and helpful resources tailored to my specific needs and circumstances. Kjerstin was reliable, flexible, caring, and incredibly kind. She was always ready to help, whether I needed guidance with newborn care, emotional support, or reassurance during the ups and downs of the postpartum period. Her knowledge and encouragement gave me confidence as a new mother and made a meaningful difference in my recovery and adjustment to parenthood. I highly recommend Kjerstin to any family looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and compassionate postpartum doula.”

“We absolutely loved working with Kjerstin!! She is such a warm, calming, and reassuring person to have by your side during pregnancy and labor. What I especially appreciated was that she herself had gone through both a c-section and a VBAC, so she truly understood firsthand my situation, fears, hopes, and expectations. Being guided by someone who had personally experienced that journey made me feel incredibly understood and supported.
On the day of my delivery, Kjerstin was truly key in how positively everything progressed — especially considering it was an induction. She brought so much calm and confidence to both me and my husband during what could have otherwise felt overwhelming. She helped me tremendously through contractions, guided us through each stage, and supported me physically and emotionally all the way until the moment I decided I was ready for the epidural. Her presence made such a difference in helping me feel safe, grounded, and empowered throughout labor.
I am so grateful to have had Kjerstin as part of my birth experience and would highly recommend her to anyone, especially mothers preparing for a VBAC.

“My husband and I are very glad we hired Kjerstin as our doula. If we're pregnant again in NYC, she will be one of the first people we call to ask to help again!
This was our first pregnancy, and Kjerstin was the perfect mixture of informative & reassuring. Our prenatal meeting in our home was thorough and included very helpful hands-on labor techniques and breathing. These were great to have in our toolkit during early labor, before we called her in to the hospital.
When (to our surprise) I was induced at 37 weeks, Kjerstin was ready to come into the hospital whenever we decided we wanted her support. In the labor & delivery room, she was invaluable in helping my husband support me. She was unobtrusive, ever-encouraging, helped with hands-on comfort measures & position changes, and had a calm, steady presence. When we decided on various interventions, she helped remind us of questions to ask and of the priorities we had previously shared with her. She was very knowledgeable, yet content to let my husband & I be the decision-makers. No matter what turns my labor took, she was fully supportive of each new decision.
We are deeply grateful for Kjerstin's support during such a vulnerable, novel life event. Her warmth, calm professionalism, and depth of knowledge were so beneficial.
From one mom to another, I heartily recommend you reach out and get to know her on a virtual intro call to decide if she'd be a good fit for you.”
