Katie B. | Doula in Westbury, NY

Mama Bravely

    Practice overview

    I like to say "I like babies, but I LOVE Moms"



    I'm just a regular Mom that decided starting a family was the next logical step in life. I got pregnant, planned a baby shower, put together a registry and painted a nursery. Then a global pandemic happened and nothing went according to plan. Regardless of what was happening in the world, my healthy and happy baby boy came in May of 2020.

    The thing about the journey to motherhood is, wether there is a global pandemic or not, it's unpredictable. Having a doula can make all the things that veer off course feel more manageable.

    I had my second baby in January of 2022 and with the help of my own Doula, I was much more in charge of my birth and postpartum. I knew that being a Doula myself was something that would fill my soul.

    I love watching women become mothers. I love seeing the way their eyes change when they know exactly what their baby wants. I love the way in which they view the world differently after having a baby. I love the endless feedings, messy houses and sleepless nights, because I know what comes after all that! An AMAZING MOTHER!

    While you will go through this transformation to Mother with or without me- I would love to be there with you!

    Care philosophy

    I believe every woman should have the birth they want. Whatever that is- I'm here to do what is in my power to get you your perfect birth. If that means no medication GREAT! If that means epidural in a hospital setting AWESOME! There are no perfect answers when it comes to this question. I do love essential oils, massage and guided meditations.
