"Kalyn was our doula, and was everything we needed and more! We didn't now her prior to our initial meeting, but quickly realized she would be the perfect fit. Her communication was excellent, she just *knew* what to do without us saying anything, and her presence was calming. If you're considering hiring a doula, Kalyn is absolutely worth meeting with."

Fertility & Loss Support
$500-$1000 2-6 appointments
Navigating loss and fertility assisted pregnancies can come with many emotions. Having a doula by your side can help alleviate some of the confusion, devastation, and exhaustion that may arise in the midst of everything else. As a sounding board, I can help you (and your partner) find and utilize resources, communicate with providers more efficiently, support you through your journey, answer questions between appointments, help with questions for upcoming appointments, and more.
+Due to the emotional nature of this service, availability is limited. The families I serve deserve the best of me; so I only assist 2 families a year with this service.
If your health insurance covers all or a portion of Childbirth Education, or Doula services, I can help you with receipts to file a claim.
