Kate Finley is a DONA International trained birth doula working in partnership with her sister-in-law at Bluebird Baby Company. She attends home, hospital, and birth center births with a focus on under-served populations who wouldn’t typically have access to the doula experience. Kate is married with two young children.
I believe your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum time is as sacred and unique as you are, and that nowhere else in life is a person’s strength and power more evident than in childbirth--of any kind. I am honored to support, assist, and encourage you and your family through this journey. My job is to empower you by guiding choices that embody your personal values through education, conversation, and hands-on techniques. I've recently completed trainings in AMANI Birth (Assisting Mothers for Active, Natural, Instinctive Childbirth), which has a focus on honoring Muslim cultural practices and beliefs through childbirth, as well as Trauma Talk, which is a training for trauma-informed care for birth and postpartum workers. My goals for these trainings is to help broaden my own perspectives of the human experience and to make it possible for me to support people from backgrounds different from my own with a deeper understanding and empathy. I believe ALL people deserve to be supported through birth, no matter their circumstance. |

Testimonials:My husband and I hired Kate late in my pregnancy to be our doula for my daughter's birth at the beginning of March 2022. Kate met with us multiple times and helped us to prepare a birth plan. Once I passed 38 weeks, Kate was available by text or email 24/7. As this was my first birth, the information Kate provided about what to expect during the birth process, coping strategies for labor and other resources for postpartum were extremely helpful. When I went into labor, Kate met us at the hospital and stayed with us until after my daughter was born. I was able to labor and deliver my baby without an epidural. I believe part of the reason I was able to do this was due to Kate's support as our doula. I'd recommend that any first time mom consider hiring a doula for support regardless of where they plan to deliver their baby. Having Kate with me gave me so much confidence in myself. She was an excellent advocate for me and also a great comfort during and after birth. I can't thank you enough for your support and presence in welcoming Kiera into the world. I couldn't have chosen a better person to be there - so glad you are a part of our story! |
